New Years and welcome January

New Year's Day Osechi


January 23rd Potluck with the extended family
our contribution was the Mount Fuji potato salad mound


 Brunch at Irving Place
and we were finally able to visit the adorable tree house out back





and dessert and Kiwi Kitchen just down the street
cafe latte with strawberry-rhubarb pie, chocolate brownie and caramel slice

 First snow of the year
from the balcony

after a 45 minute walk through the blizzard we arrived at one of the best yakiniku restaurants in Tokyo



Stamina

at Sanshiro Pond, Todai




A book no Berlin girl should go without
 Today I tried the ragu alla bolognese ... 


deliciousness
