Osechi is a special boxed arrangement of food which is traditionally eaten in Japan to celebrate the new year. Each dish has a special meaning, such as happiness, long-life, etc.

It looks great, doesn`t it?

But eating cold seafood and mysterious rubbery things is not so great. I only ate a little...

Do you like osechi?

On the weekend I visited a Thai restaurant in Ichinomiya called Restaurant Bangkok. It is the only one I know of in this area.

If, like me, you love Thai food, I recommend you check it out!

Kiwi Fruit Find

12月

13日

Not far from my house there is a big kiwi fruit tree, full of fruit. When I take Owen for a walk that way, I check to see if the fruit is ready, but it`s always been hard... until now. Finally they`re ripe [jukushiteiru]!

Because that tree is in an abandoned field [akichi] - well, it was abandoned while we were walking past on Saturday... - I thought it would be okay to taste one. YUM!

I also took a couple home. Tonight I had one chopped up in a pancake. YUM again!

Pumpkin pudding

Thanks Makie for your delicious pumpkin pudding.

It reminded me of an unusual dessert I sometimes used to buy when I caught the long-distance, overnight train in Thailand. Ah... that brings back memories (=natsukashi).
