Autumn~

So yesterday was a public holiday...
To officially mark the start of autumn.
So monday night was dinner at an Okinawan izakaya with Juns colleagues. It has been quite some time since i last had Okinawan food, i dont usually crave for Okinawan food because of the amount of pork they use in their dishes, but this was a refreshing change. For the first time, i had awamori on the rocks. Usually it is mixed with juice. I didnt get drunk, but the alcohol was so strong, it started to make my tum tum churn at night. =(
But anyway, this was accumulated pics over the hol...

Happy Birthday DAD!

This weekend, we had lots of sesame dishes... which is very much dads style of cooking...
