If you've never been exposed to Asian cuisine let me introduce you to one of the best meals the Far East has to offer. While Garrett was in Japan, a friend invited him to a restaurant that served all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu. This dish features lots of veggies and very thinly sliced beef that is all boiled in a special stock. He was delighted when our neighbors the Keslers, both of whom lived in South Korea for a number of years, invited us over for a homemade feast:
Beef, mushrooms, and baby napa cabbage, oh my! Shabu-shabu is cooked right in front of you in the middle of the table you're sitting at. When some succulent morsel is cooked to your liking, pull it out with your chopsticks!
Chris and Janice Kesler really know how to put out a spread and with Jessie Slezak's fresh berries for dessert, we were spoiled!
Chris hand-sliced almost two pounds of superb tenderloin steak. We were not left wanting!
Ever the gracious host and hostess, Chris and Janice Kesler provided dinner and an entertaining show!
A gathering of friends wouldn't be complete without their little ones. Garrett and Melissa (left) are always battling for Ethan Kesler's affections, looks like Melissa had the one up on this one. Jessie (right) always has her little Ella looking so adorable. Isn't her bow just so precious?
