Long absence

Long time no see indeed! I was so busy indeed...
Enyway, I got iPhone last month. So I'm going to update my blog at least once a month. It's not a lie. I hope...

By the way, to tell the truth, I haven't made the stone oven yet. But I'll start to make it this month. I hope...

Stone oven

I'm planning to make a stone oven. I hit on this idea when my wife said
that she wanted to eat pizza which baked in stone oven.
Last week, I bought some tools to make it. For example, a blocks trowel
, two spirit levels, masks, a pair of goggles and grinder blade. I'll
wear the mask and the goggles when I cut bricks with the grinder blade.
I got a permission to built it in our garden from my father-in-law
yesterday. So I'll make a base when I don't have to think of a frost.

A Happy New Year!

How have you been doing in New Year holidays?
In Japan, we usually spend calmly during New Year holidays. As typical traditional ways to spend New Year holidays, we visit to greet each other, eat traditional dishes that is called "Osechi", go to shrine to pray New Year's resolution, of course, and drink a lot .

As a preparation for the New Year, we pound steamed rice into rice cake on Dec. 30th. Have you ever eaten rice cakes? Do you know that the rice for rice cake is different from ordinary rice? The immediately after pounding rice cake is especially delicious. I ate it with grated Japanese white radish and soy sauce.
