Dinner Time!!

Every evening right after the shop closes Yoshi or his wife makes dinner for all the mechanics and anyone else who might still be hanging around working on their bike. They know how to cook so many dishes, I don't think I've ever eaten the same thing more than twice in an 9 month period.
