Okonomiyaki Party

What in the world is okonomiyaki?  Well, it's a kind of Japanese food that our area of Japan is famous for.  It starts with a simple batter, similar to a thin pancake batter.  Then shredded cabbage is added.  Now comes the part that means (as-you-like-it).  Many different things/flavors can be added to the basic mix.  Shrimp, seafood, thinly sliced pork or beef, green onions, fish flakes. etc  The batter is spooned out onto a hot grill with your favorite toppings.  When the cakes are cooked on both sides, the cake is topped with a sweetened soy based sauce and mayo.  Sounds delicious, doesn't it?  Believe me, it is.

In early May, there are some national holidays clumped together.  They call this Golden Week.  Many people like to travel during this time. We decided to stay at home for a "stay-cation".  We got lots done around the house and yard, and enjoyed time with friends and family.

One of the days we invited the Agape people to come to our house for an okonomiyaki party!   We had such a good time.  Different people volunteered to bring different ingredients and everyone pitched in for the preparations.  We had a wonderful time of fellowship as we enjoyed delicious Japanese food.
