New Year's Cleaning Spree


Our end of the year preparations included a Mata-daughter shopping trip up to Super H Mart in Gwinnett because the local market that carries Mochi was closed until Jan. 3rd. We picked up a ton of yummy asian groceries while we were there and had a very nice drive. A-chan had a lot of trouble sleeping the night before and so we had a very late start, not enough time to do more than drive, shop and then drive home. But it was worth it. We had a lovely Melon bread snack with A-chan's favorite drink - apple juice. And we procured lots and lots of lovely Mochi for the evening party!


We munched on even more delights from Japan for breakfast this morning and then tried cooking Japanese Curry Rice for the first time at lunch today. It was so absolutely yum!!!!! Dinner was a scottish flat pie, so we rounded out the day with potatoes, onions and more potatoes and onions, lol. But more mochi for dessert, of course.


A-chan's toys got some organization to them today after a few months of being scattered to and fro across the house. It feels really good to get her train table usable again and set up her castle set all in one place so that she can have more use of it all. Best of all we used some of our old Playmobile landscapes to fill up her train table so that maybe the cats won't use it as a bed anymore.
