Hikari School -- February 16, 2009

It was a beautiful day, warm like spring. Three ladies joined the class, but two ladies had to cancel the lesson because of the children's illness.

The theme of the lesson was Hinamatsuri (Hina dolls festival).

We made cards with origami hina dolls. Then we practiced making tea.

It was really a lively cooking class with six ladies and three children. The menu was gyoza dumplings, steamed vegetables with tofu-based dressing, fried rice, tomato and egg soup. The dessert was dorayaki. They especially enjoyed making gyoza dumplings. We made forty dumplings.
