New Year's Eve🎍

It's the first day of a new year, It's finally 

jk, It's 2021 the year of the Ox :P oh wellXD
 To celebrate the new year's eve, Hatul and I had a traditional Japanese meal called Osechi!

It's a layered box of small dishes that symbolize luck and fortune for the new year^^ The layers symbolize the continuity of the good luck, And to share an Osechi is the traditional way to eat for families!

I wish we had a big jubako (the layered box) but also thank god we didn't cause then it means more stuff to prepare and I was DEAD w

We were only 2 people so even though the traditional way of organizing a jubako is in 3,5,7.. It was more comfortable to organize in even numbers w I don't know what it means for good luck etc

First box is for appetizers~ 

Second for simmered dishes

And third is basically for sweeter foods (purple kurikinton?? w)

We also had Namasu salad

And Ozoni which is a mochi soup, That usually is eaten on the morning of the 1.1, But we knew that in the morning we will have no time:(

Yay!

I'm so proud! Made a lot of those myself^^

There we A LOT of preparations and I was after a very hard 2 weeks, The last 2 weeks of the year. I'll write more about it in my next posts but, As I mentioned, I was VERY tired. So coming home in the afternoon and cooking till so late made me even more exhausted lol I barely remember anything w

But I'm so happy I could share the evening with my Hatuli and we had yummy food<3

Even if we fell asleep of the couch 2 seconds after dinner w

Of! And we also had anko mochi for dessert!

All the recipes are from OnlyOneCookBook which is a really cool website with all the Japanese cooking recipes you could dream of! I always use it^^

So before I finish this post I wanna wish you a wonderful and happy new year!

I hope this year we could go back to normal life, We could actually enjoy it, Enjoy life, Be healthy and happy and lucky! Let 2021 be a year of appreciating life<3

Also I wanna thank everyone who had been reading my blog this year, Being so kind and supporting. I wanna thank for new friends I made this year and new experiences I had, Good and bad. I appreciate it all! I hope next year will bring more good then bad to all of us~

Love you!
