I wish we could get good sake up here. The best I can find is fuki sake. Terrible.
Have a good one
Happy New Year All!

I'm glad that is over.
I went to my in-laws house for the day. I used to think that my father- in- law was senile. Now I wonder if withdrawing into himself is just his way of dealing with the harpy he married. The Japanese are not big on divorce.
Anyone ever eat fruitcake outside of the Christmas season? The answer is of course no. We eat it not because it tastes good, but because it is a tradition. And so we gag it down just to say that we are taking part in a traditional meal of the holidays.
Well, I had a traditional meal for the Japanese New Year holidays.:barf:
Ugh!!! If you ever get a chance to try osechi ryori find some excuse, any excuse, to pass. I get nailed with the stuff every year.
Oh, and the big thing on Japanese television is a marathon. All day, people running as motorcyles pace them. This is more boring than golf as far as I am concerned. If they had a few guys with knives that jumped out at random point in the route, it would be a heck of a lot more interesting. Could you imagine the commentators for that event?
"Yes, it looks like Aneha, Koizumi and Matsumoto are still jogging. Isn't that increadible?"
"Yeah Bob. In hour three of this 12 hour marathon all the runners still seem to be still jogging. And of course the drink stands.... Bob! Look!!! Behind them one of the knifers is moving out of the crowd and coming up behind them."
"Do you think we should warn the joggers?"
"And ruin the fun? The knifer is moving up...... he's pulling back his arm for the strike......
"Oh the humanity!!!!!!!
"Can we get a close-up of that blood spurt?"
"And as the knifer puts the finishing touches on Aneha, the other two scamper off to safety, perhaps relieved that there is one less competitor to deal with."

Well, I'm trying to identify all those items, there, Don, and I'm having a bit of difficulty ....
Shrimp, grapes? are those carrots? cauliflower and some kind of sliced cucumber? The rest is a mystery to me ....
