It's an inside joke in the Weissburg home that Josh loves all things "vaguely Asian." Bonzai trees? Loves them. Bamboo? He's named the one in our living room (it's Bamboozle). Shoji screens, silk paintings, yoga? Can't get enough of them.

Thankfully, this also extends to food, so last night became chicken teriyaki night. I'm not even sure this is bloggable, because I cheat with my chicken teriyaki - I use a store-bought teriyaki sauce to season the stir-fry. Still, it makes for a super-fast meal, and together with some fresh chopped ginger, garlic, green onions, mushrooms and whatever vegetables I have lying around (last night it was rapini - also known as broccoli rabe - and carrots) it's fresh and tastes delicious. (Side note: for best flavor, I marinate the chicken in the teriyaki sauce along with some of the chopped ginger and garlic before stirfrying everything in sesame oil - it gives it that extra kick). Serve with brown rice and chopsticks!

Please note that Josh's openness to the Asian culture runs parallel with the beginning of our friendship.

I am delighted to have opened the eyes of a wonderful young man to the world.

So, did you think of me as you wrote this post because I am also vaguely Asian?! For the record, I am becoming more in touch with my Japanese self.
