I had a New Year Party with my friends. We brought Japanese traditional New Years food and shared them. All of them were so delicious. Even if I am in Japan, I cannot prepare such a many kinds of foods. I really happy to eat them. Children played New Years games and did a tea ceremony. Some of them wore Kimono (Japanese traditional costume) and took pictures. Today was really Japanese day for me.

Birthday Lunch
Tomorrow is my friend's birthday and we decided to have a lunch together today. We went to "Phoenicians Restaurant (1686 Central Ave.)". Here is a Lebanese restaurant and I have a first time to go in the lunch time. But the menu is same as dinner. She ate "Falaafil" and I ate "Chicken Kabab". Still delicious! After eating lunch, off course we drank Lebanese coffee and are satisfied. Good food, good mood and good friends! I am happy that time.

Baked Bun (Manju)
Today I had a plan to have a New Years party with my Japanese friends and to make something sweet. Because of heavy snow, the party is deferred. But I have already bought ingredient at Asian market and made "Baked Bun". Baked bun is called "Manju (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manju_(food)) and is traditional Japanese sweets. Most of Manju contains red bean paste. I put red bean paste and crunch chestnuts in my Manju. I think the size of my Manjus are little bigger but tastes are good. I keep some of my Manju in freezer and will bring our New Years Party in next week.

Marisa's Place (Pizza)
Here is a small shop in a small mall. But Pizza is really good. Usually, the dough of pizza is thick and 1 slice of pizza makes me full. However, the dough of this shop is thin, I can eat several slices and enjoy topping on the pizza. A slice of pizza is about $2.50 and whole pizza (L) is about $13.00 and (XL) $15.00. In the lunch time, there are many customers in this shop but inside the shop, there are some tables and chairs. We can eat there and enjoy pizza immediately. They also serve salads, appetizers (Fried calamari, meatball, mozzarella sticks...) and subs.
