I put Lilly's hair pin on Connors hair, he looked like a girl.
In Japan, new year day is more special than Xmas. Make various food more than 10 different small dishes and decorate them nicely in special lunch type of box.and each dish has meaning. Ex) to have noodles, pray long life.
Scott is not interested in these Japanese traditional foods so I haven't tried make them but now we have kids and I want to show them something Japanese so I started to make them 2 days ago. Will take a while to make them all. Will take some photos on new years day.
Scott prefers western food so when we were in japan, my mum used to cook steak or fried chicken or spare ribs as well as those small dishes for scott. She doesnt make all of traditional food she orders from famous restaurant
this 3level beautiful pictured box with full of food inside every year. She pays abt $300 for that which Scott doesn't understand.
Anyway it's traditional thing and it gives us special feeling for new years so it's not really about money I guess .
So now I am trying to make it. It's fun to make something.
Btw this is the food I was talking about ;) Ad by Japanese supermarket in USA. So Japanese ppl still buys this even when they are living in USA...
Kids are sleeping now. Finally time for just myself.
Will bake bread for tomorrow ;)
