I really do believe art is so, so important. Not just the visual arts, but dance and music and writing are just as important too. You sound like you take after your Dad a lot.<br /><br />As for teriyaki, the beef does look great, sorry it didn't taste as good. I always do teriyaki salmon and I just mix up the ingredients (splash here, glug there) and taste as I go to make sure I get the balance right. For a super speedy version, I usually use, soy, mirin, sesame oil, teeny bit sugar if needed and very rarely, salt because I find the soy salty enough already. If I have more time, I might add some finely sliced spring onion or ginger or both to the sauces.

But for teriyaki sauce, it's really just making sure you have equal proportions of the main ingredients of soy and sugar, that way not one is stronger than the other. Another thing to keep in mind, Hawaii people grow up with Aloha shoyu, which I think is less salty than Kikkoman, which is popular on the mainland. Maybe using a low-sodium soy will make the recipe more palatable.<br /><br />As for the painting, wow, I love it too! I like the color combinations, the hints of winter, and the strength in the bold strokes. Was he a full-time artist or just hobbyist? Would love to see more of his work.Benhttp://focussnapeat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778802865313625485.post-33144743937183956472011-10-31T11:56:07.783-07:002011-10-31T11:56:07.783-07:00I use "Beef Teriyaki with Glaze" recipe ...I use "Beef Teriyaki with Glaze" recipe from Jang Food 1 (submitted by Carole).
