2022 is year of the tiger, so Mariko baked some tiger bread. The outside looks like the common orange color, but the inside is like a white tiger. It’s very cool, isn’t it? 🐯
I ate too much… but it was so good! Pictured above is a “meat-lover’s” pizza, but there was a second pizza with tomato, onion, mushroom and sausage. It was also excellent! ❤️🍕
Pizza is definitely a contender for the “if you could only eat one food for the rest of your life” question.
One of the bonuses of New Year’s osechi is that eventually you can put most of the dishes into a pot and make a nice curry. The lotus, carrots, chicken, and mushrooms makes for a delicious Japanese curry. It’s awesome!
I hope you had a nice day. またね〜
We had a few people over today to enjoy yummy food, drinks, and also do some calligraphy! It was pretty cool. I didn’t try my hand at it, but Mariko made a really nice piece!
Our friend Peelander Yellow created some cool artwork too:
It was so fun to see everyone and enjoy each other’s company – a really nice start to 2022!
Here’s the osechi that Mariko and her friends made for the new year. They spent two days preparing all the dishes (I helped by providing cocktails) and everything tasted amazing! I love starting out the year with osechi – it’s such a treat!
And we also had ozōni, the traditional soup with mochi. Yummy!
Happy New Year! 明けましておめでとう！
