Cooking get-together

How sweet is this! Knowing how much I love chocolate, Uchida sensei brought back some Arnott's chocolate from her Hiroshima trip!

Fukuda sensei organized a little cooking get-together at her place for this evening. I've been wanting to learn how to make some of the more simple Japanese dishes, so this was kind of Fukuda sensei to do!

From school, Kitano sensei, Shimasaki sensei and I made our way to Fukuda sensei's place. She has three young kids (age 6, 3 and 2 years old) who were all very eager to help with the cooking! We spent the evening making okonomiyaki, takoyaki and gyoza (from scratch).

Here's Shimasaki sensei and Keiko working together.

Ready to feast. It turned out very yummy!
