My wife wanted one so she could do some tabletop cooking with the family, and I thought it was a good idea. I\u2019ve noticed that whenever we eat at home, we each have our little places to go to inside the house, so we grab a plate and scatter to watch our own TV shows or sit at the computer while we eat. As much as I cringe at the thought of dining out and paying for the expense, I feel like it\u2019s worth it because we\u2019re all in one place together and we actually talk. Believe me, this gets harder as the kids get older.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/griddle.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3120\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/griddle.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAnyway, I\u2019m looking forward to doing some <em>teppanyaki<\/em> or Korean BBQ or <em>okonomiyaki<\/em><span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"> at home this year.

I am notoriously bad at it, so I resolve to be more sensitive to my surroundings from now on. I have an Instagram account, but I\u2019m not all that active on it. When I think of the hundreds of funny or interesting images that I see all the time, I think if only I stopped to take a photo and just comment on my IG page, I\u2019d probably have a decent collection of moments that I could have shared. These days we can do that so much easier than we used to\u2014all we have to do is whip out our phones. It\u2019s a matter of looking at things through our own unique lens, you know? Here\u2019s an example of what I mean. This was taken when we went to go get breakfast at a local diner called Phanny\u2019s.

Zojirushi enthusiast and professional writer. California resident with roots in Hawaii and Japan. Classic rock, popcorn movies, audio books, spam, sushi and cone filtered coffee. Guilty pleasures include donuts and pop bands like ABBA and Wham! Don't laugh, you should see my vinyl collection--I give hair bands and prog equal credit.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog"],"url":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/author\/btanimoto\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3116","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3116"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3116\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6241,"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3116\/revisions\/6241"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3116"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3116"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3116"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
