Carenna, my youngest grand daughter is on her Christmas Break from GWU, Elliot School for International Affairs for 2 weeks.  Her Mother, Ditas, my youngest daughter visited me the other day and insisted on decorating My Apartment Door for the Christmas Door Decor Contest.

After they finished the Decoration of My Apartment Door, I treated them to Dinner at My Favorite Japanese restaurant- Tanoshi Bistro in Oak Grove/Citrus St, Walnut Creek. We took some photos as follows:  

Meanwhile, last Sunday, Pearl Harbor Day, I treated Ditas and her friend, Nancy Rodriguez for Dinner at my favorite Japanese Restaurant, Tanoshi. We ordered two Tanoshi dinners, two soft shell crabs appetizers and two Sushi Rolls, the Dragon and the Tiger Rolls. As expected it was yummy. The soft shell crabs was outstanding. We have leftovers and very happy to take it home,  Here are some photos of our Dinner.   

The Soft Shell Crabs Appetizers was outstanding and Yummy.
