The Return of the Nabe... and the Fondue!

Last night was the first time I had people over to visit in a long time. It's getting a little cooler here in Okinawa, so I broke out the nabe. The nabe is a pot in which you put a soup base, and then throw in a bunch of vegetables and meat and bring it to a boil. You eat it with rice, and it's SO good! Warms you up real good, especially if you have tofu in it - that stuff retains heat like crazy! Also, it was kimchi-based, which also makes it real hot. It was SO tasty!

After dinner we relaxed a little and then had chocolate fondue... we cut up strawberries, bananas and apples. It was SO good! Aika brought chips and drinks, and actually the chips tasted good with chocolate too! Mari, a.k.a. Chara brought homemade pumpkin cream puffs. Very good!

Next time we gather it will be to watch movies... and probably eat some more good food! Thanks for a fun night, guys! Thanks as always, Joe!
