Sharing and Passing It On

What do you pass on to your children?
Parents help their children learn skills- personal, professional, and how to be and live in the world. They share their gifts of who they are...and stand to witness the children as unique individuals of their own.

I'm reminded of this as my birthday was last week. Each birthday in our family comes with a special meal- a dinner at a restaurant, at home, or an exotic take out. For the last three years my birthday craving has been Japanese food- particularly sashimi. I enjoy the mix and mystery of both artful presentation and diverse flavors. This time we had take out of tempura, appetizers and a sushi/sashimi tray from Sakura (yelp) in Wyckoff. We added some additional sushi grade tuna steak from Ramsey Farms (yelp).

Afterward we posed for a picture- full of fish

So the amazing thing, the blessing for me- is to see our family enjoy the combo. They're highly interested in experiencing new flavors, textures and enjoying it together.
