Andrew's Birthday Dinner

Andrew came home this weekend from summer school at UCD so we could celebrate his birthday with him. We ate at one of his favorites, "Hotaru" in San Mateo. Hotaru happens to be my favorite Japanese place to eat, too. Their sushi is the best & the combination dinners are good & plentiful. We were so hungry I thought maybe we ordered too much, but somehow we managed to finish it all! Check it out:

Deep fried soft-shell crab (surrounded by a large Sake!)

Combo Special #1: Chicken Teriyaki, California Roll,
and Hot Udon

Left: Chicken Teriyaki Donburi
Right: Curry Udon

Bento Box: Tempura, Sashimi, Broiled Mackerel,
and Chicken Teriyaki (Andrew's)

                                  

Chicken Karaage & a large cold Sapporo

Spicy Tuna Roll

Dragon Roll: shrimp tempura, unagi, avocado,
kani & cucumber

Right: Paradise Roll

Spider Roll: soft-shell crab, kani salad, avocado

And the weekend's not over yet! More eating later today at the SF Giants game...guess I'll have to do double time at the gym this week!!
