This week was Christopher's and Mikey's birthdays!
One tradition we have is the birthday person can request their favorite dinner. Christopher wanted a very Japanese meal, tonkatsu, which is breaded pork chops, usually deep fired but I do them on the grill, miso soup, rice and salad. I also made a very Japanese dish, lots of Japanese vegetables and chicken thigh cooked in soy sauce, sweet wine and sake, very nice and warming. Mikey wants Toad in the Hole, so I'll do that for him tomorrow. Christopher prefers Japanese food, Mikey goes more for Western foods.
And we have snow. We get a little flurry of about 30 minutes every year, that doesn't stick. This year it's been snowing since Thursday night (it's Saturday afternoon now!) and it doesn't look like it is going to stop. Hannah's school started on Friday but they sent a message that the school is closed, that means it is very bad as schools seldom close here! David and Hannah just came back from the shop, it's a few minutes walk from here, of course David feel over! And they had a snow ball fight! Top temperature today is 1C, this in an area that gets up to 38C in summer, very extreme!
