Asuco's Diary

あけましておめでとうございます。
Happy New Year!!! 　

ここで新年の抱負と・・いきたいところですが、その前にやっぱり今年も「食」の話題も豊富にしていきたいので、お正月に作ってみたものをＵＰしてみます。おせちは出来なかったのだけど・・・来年挑戦ですね。
I would like to talk about my New Year's resolution but before that, I will post some pictures of what I made for new year's days because I like to talk about wealth of food things in this blog this year, too. I couldn't make traditional New Year's food(Osechi) so I may try next year?...

また、正月に実家に１日帰って、全く動かず、食べて、飲んでを繰り返していた私に、兄がブーブースカ言っていたので、この場を借りて「私だって少しは料理してたわよん」と訴えておきます。
Also, I like to show to my brother that I did cook some! Because he complained and kidding me since I wasn't doing anything and just eating or drinking when I go back to parents' house for 1 day in new years.

今回は料理本を参考にしているのがほとんどなので、レシピは割愛しておきます。気になる方は聞いてくださいね☆　お教えします。　
This time, most of the cooking is referred to in cookbooks so I won't explain here. If you want to know how to make them, let me know, I can tell you then.
