After Happy Days

How nice, we have clear blue sky almost every day! We feel a slight chill in the high of 50F (10C), but nice enough!

Few hours ago, I saw Mt. Fuji with the sunrise, but now the sun has set... Isn't it sad!? Days are too short. I miss all my holidays which will end tomorrow...

Last night, my boyfriend and I had a dinner with my family. Maybe it was since last winter that we gatherd together. My dad now resides in China, so we aren't seeing each other that often. I was kind of lazy to see my family, but despite my feeling, it was fun!

Today, my boyfriend left for Shiga to see his parents. He just e-mailed me that his mom has recovered really well! Thanks to God!!! He will be there until Monday. I didn't go with him because my work starts from Monday. Anyway, isn't it funny that I feel lonely?! Didn't I hope to be alone?! Maybe not after happy days!!!

Tomorrow, I need to cook to fill my quota! I hope everything goes fine.

How was your holidays?!

Happy New Year 2009

Hello! I hope everyone is doing fine.
This new year's holidays are passing very fast! We have only 3 days left until the first day of work.

As usual, I cooked new year's food (Osechi) on the 31st. It took me a day to complete it... whew! We had it for our brunch and dinner today with white zoni soup. Somehow, I was so drowsy all day long that I took a nap until evening.





Then we went to hatsumoude (new year's visits to shrine). There we pray for a wish to come true. My wish is always the same. There is nothing more valuable than staying healthy!!!

Best wishes for a healthy and happy 2009 ;)

Kobeya Restaurant

Hi! Tonight we had a dinner at Kobeya Restaurant because I had some cash voucher which I won the other day. Kobeya is famous for its homemade bread and there are many bakery in various places. They also have restaurants and I love their all-you-can-eat salad bar and freshly-baked breads!


Anyway, it took us 3 days to clean our house but still not thorough enough... I haven't been cooking properly since Christmas because I was really busy doing other stuff!!! Maybe on the 31st, I will cook something. I need to prepare for osechi-ryori again! This year, I bought a nice set of tsukudani (fish boiled in soy sauce: the image on the right), so I can't wait to pack ;)

Okay, I think this is going to be my last post for this year.
Thank you all for reading. Also, I want to thank you for those who always leave me comments. You made my days!!!

See you next year!!!
