December 31st


In the before blog of mine, I wrote about "Toshikoshisoba(年越しそば)" and added the image photo to it. It was reeeeeeeeeeeally general explanation and appearance, but usually, it depends on the each house about its looking and taste, so it can be different a little bit from the image. However, tonight I was truly surprised about our Toshikoshisoba. It was almost same looking as the image photo!!!!About the ingredients, it was absolutely same.By the way, this year, I cooked our last meal, Toshikoshisoba, but I did very well!!It tasted really nice and made good looking☆I'm happy to make my family please.


It was the second day I went back to my hometown, Yaizu in Shizuoka Pre. from Yamanashi Pre. today. It was terrible because of "December 31st = The end of the year" . I wanted to be relaxed because my winter vacation that I was able to stay at home together was only 5 days, but in the house, it was kind of battlefield named "A cleanup". My mom said, "You are the member of our family, aren't you?? It's natural to take part in a cleanup!! HURRY UP!!" As a result, I did clean our living room thoroughly with my mom. It was hard, but I started the cleaning, I was serious about doing that. Of course, I felt good because our living room became really clean. Many years passed, however, I think that"Don't come the end of the year!!!!"

LOL!
Maybe next year you should wait until after New Year's to go home... This is a strange cultural difference between Japan and the USA, as we usually do our big cleaning in the spring ("Spring cleaning"). I think we do it then because we can finally open all the windows and doors to bring in fresh air after keeping the house closed all winter...
So I was surprised when I learned that most Japanese families clean with a vengeance during the New Year's holidays. It does make sense though, as it is nice to start the new year fresh.

Shiho-ho-ho-ho,
What happened? Did you stop blogging? Do you still read Mai, Kanako, and Miho's blogs?
Please don't stop writing! You may want to continue your blog once you go abroad, so why not write about your plans here and get back into the habit?
