You guys have such an awesome family. I like the way everyone is so supportive of one another and everyone pitches in to help cook and teach the younger generation. I love when Laurie gives feedback on the dishes. Her descriptions are so detailed and she really takes her time to give us a good idea of the different flavors of the dish.

[@Caritaira]

Thank you, kakelinga! It's super great having my nieces and nephews help out when they can. Hopefully they'll remember these special times. And yes. Laurie is super descriptive!

[@bradleyadsuara5033]

Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@Caritaira]

Thank you for watching, Ame!

[@island_girl7293]

Your Grandma is such a sweetheart! Lovely to see the children actively participate in meal preparation and take an interest in cooking. I'm impressed that little Aiko already has a good palate and enjoys kamaboko. Soba is truly an ideal summer dish, especially for potlucks. ☀️ We've been experiencing triple digit temperatures in our area, so thank you for this timely episode...I'm all in favor for a cooling and fresh meal option that utilizes ingredients already in my fridge/pantry. Have a good weekend! ✨🌺✨

[@Caritaira]

Thanks, Island Girl! Hope you guys are staying cool in Cali!

[@kathytisdale9665]

Looks good ! I love these salads in the summer. Thanks !

[@Caritaira]

Thank you Kathy! Perfect for summer!

[@susanlindner8632]

This is perfect for Texas weather mahalo 🌺

[@Caritaira]

Thank you, Susan! Hope you can enjoy some noodles!

[@miyubail]

Looks delish Cari san. I should make this for tomorrow's family BBQ. If I may say this, if you add just a little bit of oil, preferably olive oil, noodles will not stick together. Just a little tip.

[@Caritaira]

Thank you, Miyubail!

[@janicematsuura4949]

Great meals for summer! I do make somen salad, but never did soba salad so will have to try your recipe. Love your family meals, Cari❣️ Thank you for sharing😋😍

[@Caritaira]

Thank you Janice for your continuous support!!

[@warroom17]

Cari you look so familiar. Are you related to the Takamine family?

[@Caritaira]

Hm…. Not that I know of!

[@paulafriedmanalohafrommaryland]

Aloha Cari and Family! Another wonderful vlog. The food looked super ono, will definitely need to try making those at home. Always look forward to watching your vlogs (my Mom says "hello").

[@Caritaira]

Thank you, Paula! Hope your mom is doing well!

[@bradleyadsuara5033]

Just to clarify mom blanched carrots, the spinach and edamame went in raw?

[@Caritaira]

Yes! Let me know how it tastes!

[@3lacoco]

Yumm! Do you know how many teaspoons is in a packet of dashi?? I have a jar of it.

[@Caritaira]

Hi Irene... I am not sure.... but I would just add as I go so you can get the flavor that you like.

[@lisawilling6912]

Just curious how to cook the noodles

[@Caritaira]

Just a basic boil... somen noodles take a lot less time than regular noodles.

[@cwillys240z4]

Good vlog. Will do this for Meatless Monday. The wife & I want to start eating lighter. Lol. We'll see how long that lasts.

[@Caritaira]

Haha sounds good! We've talked about doing that as well!

[@arleneshimokawa4435]

So funny

[@Caritaira]

Thank you, Arlene!
