New Year' Eve(Oomisoka)

It's almost 2012.  Today is the beautiful day, no rain but very hot.  I see the sunset like the photo.

Tonight, we have a very casual meal as we have to eat the traditional evening meal, to have while waiting to greet the new year is a bowl of soba noodles, called Toshikoshisoba.  It means "end the old year and enter the new year".

I will just make some finger foods such as salmon canape and cheese platter and some good bread with a glass of champagne before we will eat noodles.

I made Misobutadon the other day.  Lots of lettuce on the rice with pork sliced and a boiled egg.  It's really good combination.

Have a happy new year and all the best to you in 2012!
