Cooking -- November 16, 2009

We enjoyed a traditional seasonal dish 'nabe'(one-pot dish) today.
Today's nabe was chicken meatball nabe. We first made meatballs
and cooked them with vegetables and tofu at the table. It is fun
to cook and eat together at the table. Other dishes we cooked
were Inarizushi, kidney beans with sesame dressing, and coffee
jello. Next cooking class will be on December 15th, Tuesday.

This is the first class of eagerly-awaited
scroll-making. The class started from choosing
materials and arranging them on a scroll base.
Then cut in a shape of design and paste with a
base material to make one sheet. After folding
both edges, put two strings to hold a post card
on the center of the scroll.

In spite of rainy and windy weather, a lady
with a two year and 4 month old daughter joined
today's lesson. Though both 朝霧（morning mist)and
夕焼（the color of the sunset）have many strokes,
ladies finished well.
