New Year celebration was held January 11th. It was good not to do on New Year Day,
because the day’s weather was very bad.
As usual, Hiroko forgot to take the photos before everyone
devoured the food. Remembering to take
the photos, foods were half gone.
This celebration was also for Amanda’s B-day Dinner, so her
favorite Japanese food Sukiyaki was cooked.
This Sukiyaki photo was taken at the second round. Lisa had just put all the ingredients in the
pan. All the left over will be packed as
doggy bags for everyone.
The couple of pieces of Sashimi, Tuna and Yellowtail left on
the plate with pink Kamaboko on the photo.
Umani, which is Elsa’s favorite foods in a Japanese New Year box, placed
on the right side of the Sashimi plate, and Soy Beans and herring roes, which
are Lisa’s favorite foods in the plate in front of the photo. Kinpira Gobo was prepared for Steven.
Everyone loves to eat shrimp and vegetable, carrot/green
beans, tempura. Everyone said the chashu
was very tasty and melts in the mouth, but they couldn’t eat at the dinner, so
they made doggy bag to go. Hiroko wanted
to make soft and tasty chashu like served at the ramen restaurant “Santoka” so
Hiroko tried cooking many times.
Finally, she could make little bit closer to the Santoka chashu.
No one took home cooked dried cods and Japanese
pumpkin. Hiroko enjoyed eating these
foods for her lunch.
Many kind of beer, water, white and red wines, and tequila which
was given to Hiroko as her B-day presents were served as drink. With the tequila, they gave a toast to
health, peace and happiness in 2014, and Dan-san gave a wonderful prayer.
Give thanks to Saeru/Tetsu for the Electric hot water pot
which was given to Hiroko as Christmas present.
Before going home, Steven has to have caffeine. This time he’d like to drink green tea. With this hot water pot green tea was very
east to serve.
Amanda, very, very sorry! For not good photos were taken. Hiroko thinks her hand was shaken. She took two photos, but those both photo
were not good.
Amanda is giving her wish in front the cake with candle.
Amanda/Steven, and Presents.
She received many Illinois
lotto tickets, so she scratched those lottos with expectation. She might have gotten total $30.00.
