Spring Break


Yep, here we are, cruising down the East Coast.  We stopped this evening at Port Orange just south of Daytona.  Perfect weather, and we had a yummy dinner.  We lucked into a restaurant next to our hotel.

As we entered, the smell of good food took us right back to Japan.  The menu was extensive so it made choices really difficult. Oh, I forgot the most important part: they're gluten-free aware.  They provide non-wheat-based soy sauce and all the sauces for the main courses are made with cornstarch.  We started with half a dozen fresh oysters, very lightly steamed topped with lemongrass and ginger. Outstanding.  We could have had more, but we had the rest of our dinner coming.  I stayed with all appetizers--gyoza, veggie tempura, kappamaki, and tamago sushi.  Bob shared some of the tamago and had shrimp and veggies in a garlic sauce.  Both of us rolled back to the hotel.  Oh, so good.
