shiso onigiri. one of my favorite japanese things. last week we were on vacation on the west coast and the island and we found some shiso at my favorite japanese grocery store. whoohoo. and some tsukemono (pickles), too. this is one of the easiest meals to make. onigiri. miso soup. and a little salad. i really hope our baby girl (whoohoo!) loves japanese food. i am banking on it. since she will be half japanese.
hello there.
i'm leslie. and i lived in japan. with my japanese fella. and i was so happy about that. i am now back in canada. after four and a half years away. i am learning to love this place all over again. h-kun will join me in the fall. which i am very excited about. thanks for stopping by. and taking time to look around. and interact with me. please do not copy anything from this blog without emailing me first. thanks.

A girl how gorgeous - girls are the best! What will you do about balancing the cultural divide in terms of names - Anglo or Japanese, or are there Anglonese names??!!

Congrats on your baby girl! The food looks lovely. I have been experimenting cooking different cuisines and was surprised by the white miso when I opened it, thought it had gone bad. So much to learn.

Thank you for your lovely comments on my pinch pouch post (wow, inadvertant alliteration!) And congratulations! I have three daughters, each with her own distinct personality, and each as delightful as the next. Many happy wishes to you and your husband!

I haven't checked your blog in a long time. (I'm sorry!) :) But what a happy surprise it was for me to find out the wonderful baby news! And a little girl....oh, your life is about to turn so much sweeter, my dear.
Congrats, congrats! I'm so happy for you and H Kun.

onigiri looks amazing! congratulations on the little girl. my 1/4-Japanese Ayako-chan (with her blond hair and blue eyes!) loves Japanese food. I'm sure yours will too.
