Birthday Dinner for Joe

This Tuesday was Joe's birthday. Since it's also his youngest brother Mark's birthday 17 years apart, we celebrated at his mom's house.
Our little tradition has been a Japanese meal at home, and I finally got to make Joe's favorite tonkatsu dinner tonight. To make it a bit more special, we had savory egg custard (chawan-mushi) and a Chinese chili shrimp dish on the side. Joe made us sake-martini, too.

It's the Easter weekend, and I actually have the whole weekend off like normal people. Although it's rainy, mixed with some snow, plus we are expecting another cold week ahead, we try our best thinking of spring. Just no Easter egg hunt outside around here.
Happy Easter to everyone!!
