Teppan yaki and Tough times of your life

I made "Teppan yaki" tonight.

This dish is so easy to prepare, you just cut all ingredients.

I got this portable electric teppan grill at Macy's for only $40.

You can enjoy "Teppan yaki" with your family without your long cooking time.

Dipping sauce: 2 Tbsp oyster sauce, 1 Tbsp Soy sauce, 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1 Tbsp vinegar, 2 Tbsp sugar, 1Tbsp grated garlic, 2Tbsp grated onion. Mix well.

Life is tough.

I always tried to challenge for my new world in my life.

I had 2 restaurants and 2 houses already by 28 years old in Japan.

I was very comfortable there, but I decided to come to L.A all by myself, just because I couldn't forget this beautiful blue sky and endless free way to reach the sky. I came to L.A before the year of summer by my vacation, I just fall in love to L.A in seconds.

I went back to Japan, but after that, I could not stop thinking about L.A for all my 24 hours.

Yes, even I was sleeping, I was watching the dream of this blue sky.

After I die, if my god ask me about my " most memorial day in this life", I will pick the day of "my son was born" as my best day and as second, the day " I came back to L.A with my strong decision of never going back to Japan again until my dream come true"

I really feel so happy and lucky with this strong decision now after almost 30 years later.

But my first 5 years were very tough for me.

My story will never end if I keep talking about my 30 years, so I stop this story now tonight.

One thing I would like to say, you will learn so much, so deeply, so seriously about your life from your tough times.

When I saw some people were laughing loudly from their heart, I thought to myself,

"could I have the kind of day which I can laugh from my stomach and heart in my future?

May be never happen to me again."

But don't worry, you will have the kind day which you are laughing and smiling so hard with dancing yourself after your tough time is over.

If you don't run away from your tough things and try to fight with your best at the time.

See you tomorrow.
