| photos of C making tradional O-sechi food for New Year |
C had to make the tradional new years food for his homework. I usually don't bother with the Japanese new year tradions as I am wiped out by Christmas. But it was homework so we made an effort. C made "Red and White Salad".....red is carrot and white is radish. White is the color of sacredness and red the color ot ward off evil spirits, therefore colors for celebrations.
We also made "Sweet Chestnut Puree" which was extremely sweet!
Happy New Year. Again I am planning on writing more this year....we will see!
