Japanese Meal for J

Dinner on October 6.

I made Japanese meal for J. He was hungry for Japanese. Now he is happy.

Hamburger, it's a symbol of USA?

Dinner at Tessaro's on October 5.

The first dinner in Pittsburgh since coming back from Japan is hamburger. I did't come to Tesarro's during summer at all. I guess it's because we grilled at home. Now fall has come. I will come to Tesarro's more often!
