As you read this, it will be the new year! Now I have to get used to writing 15 instead of 14, oh what a bother. Do you folks make resolutions for every year? I don’t. And it’s good that I don’t because I seem to unconsciously rebel against anything I’m told to do, and that includes myself telling me to do something. It’s a bit weird I know. I think I’m just allergic to prescribed things…I do like to be somewhat spontaneous. What I can do is strive to be a good person and hope that others do the same.

It has been so cold in Hawaii lately and I just love it. I’m going to miss it so much when we go back to hot and humid weather. Sometimes I try to get away with t-shirt and shorts still (that rebellion bubbling up again) but I am sitting here in layers as I type up this entry. I hope you all have a great 2015, stay safe and eat well! I’ll leave you with yet another meal at Izakaya Torae Torae (each word links to a former entry).

Spicy Tuna Bowl

Sake – A MUST if you go here. It’s perfection.

I end this post with a Stamina Bowl for you to start the new year! This was a great bowl, and something I probably would never get just a few years ago. Slime factor times 2! Natto and Okra – so good. This was a great bowl! I needed that bowl to finish my papers last semester – I think it did the trick!
