Trip to Japan – Part 3

I was able to partake of this “Christmas Breakfast”.  Evidently it has been a tradition of HCS for some years. There were all kinds of bread, pans, cakes, fran, hot chocolate, eggs, sausages, etc, etc….  It was very Christmassy experience!

Here is Mary carefully cutting the muffins so that  everyone can have some…

Here is Eliya, digging into sausages saying “I am not into sweets so much….. “

Is it yummy, Mike?

Do you know what this meat is? It is “Inoshishi (Wild Pig)”! Wow, I never ate it before! Aiki’s brother went hunting at the local forest and caught it, heavy stuff! Reika made wonderful “Nabe (Pot Meal)” with it! Actually it was quite tasty.

It was Family Day on the 24th. I already had dinner but Kitano Family kindly invited me to their Family Crismas Dinner table. I shared wine with James and enjoyed the evening, thank you Kitano Family!!

Fun, fun, Christmas Cooking!! I helped Mary cooking for Christmas Dinner for 2 days. We made fudges, Cifone cake and banana cream pie on the 1st day. It was lots of work! Mary did more baking and cooking beside these 2 days…. GBH!

Personaly I liked the banana cream pie, it was sooooo good!

Nest day, we made tacos, salad, guacamole, salsa, and what not. It was great and everyone enjoyed it!

Beside what you see on the table, there was wonderful Gomoku Zushi by Hiromi, Chicken by Isamu, 3 kind of Jello by Naomi, Toitillas that Naomi worked hard all day, and all kinds of drinks and punches by Reika.

Here is one of Reika’s awesome looking drink with tequila.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
