Wednesday in Japan. . . train trip

Son took daughter out for an overnight train trip.

He loves to ride the trains and so far so does she.
I must admit riding Japanese trains are a treat. 

But then I don't need to ride them
 during the morning commute.

.

 Mia is growing up too fast.

 Helping drive the train.

 Ready Set Go !

 That looks like the biggest bowl of shaved ice !

.

 Instead of a glass of milk after a visit to the Onsen,

the owners gave her an ice cream and Daddy had a beer.

 Back home and helping Daddy make tortillas

.

 She loves her letters and loves writing our names.

This time she added Uncle Adam to the "zilla family"

mumzilla or mumajilla

..............

 Again, just because I can, here is your pretty for mid-week.

For Mother's Day, Adam made me one of my favorite dishes.

From the Kerala region of India, a Fish Moilly or Fish Stew.

It is made with fish, turmeric, red onion, green chilies, ginger,

coconut cream and lime juice.

Heaven in a bowl. 

 So pretty and fabulous !

And enough left over for the next day when it taste even better.

I am so lucky !
