This is me at our ryo-kan (japanese resort) in Kumamoto.
When you soak your body (after bathing) in the mineral hot spring, all the impurities are thought to escape your body and you are left with a tranquil state of mind, ready to go back to your room and enjoy an exquisite seasonally prepared tasting menu called "kaiseki".
The dishes are paired with chilled sake, enhancing every dish and every bite.

Steaks !!! Yeahhhhh !!!

I grilled up some steaks with our new DiLonghi indoor grill set tonight. The rear two slabs of sirloin were dusted with my buddy Dave's rub(I will write more about this soon. Man, is it good), and the two in front were just seasoned with salt and pepper. The meal was a hit and we had enough leftover for a kick ass lunch tomorrow... Planning on making some wraps with alfalfa, avocados, julienned cucumbers and sliced shell steaks. I think a shiso/ponzu sauce drizzled over the goodies will help bind all the flavors together. OOOH, lunch is going to be so good.
