I was. Last time he had a video camera.

Me too! I think I missed it already this week. I make Rika's whole meal last week though. Ginger beef, cucumber and salted Kombu salad and cold soba with the spicy dipping sauce. Terrific!

How did I miss that? I agree, I'm used to tuning in on Sunday evening.

I thought she was a model and actress.

Me too. Makes for a nice change. I wonder what Seira and Kathy are up to now. I've seen Kathy hosting a Journey in Japan and acting as a reporter since she left DWTC. But Seira, is there any hope for her?

Finally. I got a kick out of Saito's cheesecloth celery.

Why was Kody on one knee like he was going to propose when he and Nathan were having their guy talk on the floor? Weird.

The chef was on Parts Unknown. He's an interesting guyl. Wish I could eat at his Tokyo restaurant. I love sushi.

We love Kakiage with Udon and broth. I usually use shrimp and squid with veggies.

I already voted! Last year they used one of my comments about At Home with Venetia. Was the question about trouble viewing directed to me? Occasionally, I will get a poor signal or no signal. That is related to the satellite transmission, I believe.

I passed up some fresh sardines at the fish store last weekend because I didn't feel like grilling. Next time I see them I'll know what to do. I love unagi with that sauce. So interesting the way Chef deboned them with his hands.

I've never had taro. I wonder what the taste and texture is compared to potatoes. They sure had to wash it alot to get rid of the slime. I'd give it a whirl, though. Nabe Hot Pot up this week. Five kinds of mushrooms. Oishii!

Me too! It looks like a good thing to pack for lunch. Patrick blended in with the potted plants in that camouflage shirt.

Another rerun. Quite an outfit Patrick had on. Sheer cardigan over a striped shirt with some kind of long tie or something hanging down. While he was slooooowly peeling the ginger with that big knife, I wanted to yell "use a spoon!". That's how I do it and it really works well.

Saito's steak sauce was wild. Umeboshi, umeshu, soy sauce, butter and ground sesame seeds. I'm so curious that I'll have to give it a try. I'm sure I can get salted plums at the Asian market, but where to find that liqueur or what to substitute for it, no idea. Plum wine, maybe? I'll call around to see if I can find the real thing.
