Welcome 2009

Happy new year to all. We had quite a crazy cooking day on the first weekend of 2009. Don't really know what came over us, but we just decided to cook, and cook, and cook. For brunch, we made okonomiyaki with shredded lettuce, some batter, shrimp and bonito flakes. We didn't go all out and get Worcestershire sauce or mayo and all that, just kept it simple. Turned out OK. We have a really small pan, so we really piled on the lettuce, and the inside took a really, really long time to cook just because our pile was so high. The cool thing about okonomiyaki is that when you put the bonito flakes on the top when it's hot, the flakes wave about like they're alive.
