     Christmas Party!

Hello everyone!This week, there was Christmas Day!

What did you spend your Christmas time doing?

-December 24th

I had a Christmas party with my friends.We also celebrated a friend's birthday with a surprise. It was very exciting to prepare for the party, including cooking, decorating, and shopping.We also made homemade cakes; the food for seven people was laid out on a table full of food and looked great.We made a chocolate ice cream cake and a cake topped with mini cream puffs.The party at my friend's house was very special and fun.

The pasta and salad were very good. However, I was sad that I had to leave early because I live far from home.I happened to have no classes, so it was a nice Christmas Eve to spend with my friends.

-December 25th 

I had a part-time job on Christmas Day. My part-time job ended in the evening, so I had a Christmas party with my family at night.My parents bought some cakes.I had the pistachio mousse cake. The pistachio cream was delicious. I also made salad, quiche and pizza toast with my mother.I ate a lot and was very full.It was great to have two Christmas parties this year.🥰🤍

 Holiday with my family!

Hello everyone!

December 14th, My sister who lives in Tokyo came back to Niigata after a long time! First ,We went to soba shop “Kojimaya Sohonten” in Tsubamesanjo. Hegisoba is one of the famous food in Niigata. I like eating it!The elasticity and slurpability are great! My sister eats the soba every time she goes back to Niigata.

Second, we went to a coffee shop.I was full so I ordered a hot coffee, but my sister had the caramel chiffon cake parfait.It looked very good and I would like to go again. Also, the owner gave us some canulés as a service!It was crunchy on the outside and moisture on the inside and very tasty.

Next, we went home and exchanged Christmas presents with  whole family.We drew lots and I won the gift of my father's choice.The gifts included a towel, stylish chocolates, and a warmer.I love the excitement of opening a gift. Also, the gift I chose was given to my mother.I was happy that my mother was pleased with the gift as I had spent about an hour agonizing over the decision.I gave them coffee, some sweets of mujirushi and bath salts.It was the first time we exchanged gifts as a family, but it was so much fun that we want to make it an annual event.My sister went home in Tokyo for the day and I missed her. I am going to visit my sister's house during spring vacation.

       My Happy weekend!

Hello everyone!⛄️⛄️

This weekend, we had CLIL - I class second period. The day I went to lunch with my mother after school. I went to “Tiger  curry Sapporo soup” and ate natto and vegetables soup curry! I have wanted to try it.It was my first time eating curry with natto but The curry has a mild taste because it contains natto. Also we could choose vase soup, spicy levels and toppings. I ordered medium spicy. She ate vegetables soup curry. Every curry had lots of large vegetables in it and I love vegetables so it was delicious.It was a very cold day so it warmed me up. The chef smiled at me as I was leaving and I felt it was a very nice restaurant. I will try making soup curry at home. It's located on the Namiki-dori street south of the Niigata station, so please check it out and try it!

Also I went to the bakery where my friend works part-time. It was very crowded though she noticed me and waved to me. I wasn't able to talk to her but I was happy. I was encouraged to see her working in the busy place. There I bought a French bread, a sliced ​​bread, a chocolate cornet and a raisin bread for my family.It was fluffy and very delicious! I want to go there again soon.It was a very fulfilling day.And it was a breather day.

       This week’s event!

Hello everyone! This week I feel like I have suddenly become cold.

  I know Christmas is coming when it snows. Christmas is less than a month away.I like Christmas events so I write about moments and events that make me feel Christmas.

  First,It is the increase in the number of illuminations and Christmas trees in town.Stores and streets of the town become gorgeous and I feel happy just looking at them.I also put out a Christmas tree with my mother at my house. Last year my family bought that tree.I think simple decorations on the big tree are very pretty.I would like to add more Christmas goodies and I want to make a Christmas wreath.

  Second, I have been seeing more and more Christmas commercials lately.The music in the cake and candy commercials use Christmas songs to lift my spirits!I like a song “All I Want For Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey. I am looking forward to many events in December!

 Recently  I'm addicted to grilled fish.I like eating fish than eating meats.So my mother often cooks fish dishes dinner.For example I ate “Akauo” “scad” and “grill hokke with salt” in this week.I love fish dishes because the flesh is so flaky and less oily than meat.Eating fish provides protein and is good for our brain.I usually eat it until the bones and dorsal fin!I want to practice cooking so that I can cook fish myself.It is easy, just put it on the grill.
