About Me
- obachan
- Muroto, Kochi, Japan
- "OBACHAN" means a "middle-aged woman" or "aunty" in Japanese. .*************************. Having moved back to my hometown in April 2009, I live in one of the desperately underpopulated areas in Japan now. Let me share my life in a real countryside with aging parents living in the same house. And here in Muroto -- the place where I chose to live -- you can hear the heartbeat of the Earth! ;)

Obachan, nice dinner and photo work. No dinner guest ? I am doing my dinner party this Sunday.
Looks like you had a really nice dinner. Everything looks delicious. The gingerbread house looks beautiful. Happy Holidays, lance
Merry Christmas Obachan!!!
Phan and Dennis
> Jonny --- Well, the air-conditioner I have is very old and the power bill goes sky high if I use it too often, so I use Kotatsu as much as possible.
> cooknengr --- Yeah, no dinner guest. Now I have to eat all these sweets myself…. No more baking for the rest of the year, I suppose.
> lance --- Happy holidays to you, too. The problem is I can’t even think about breaking the gingerbread house down and eat it. I saw many pics of gingerbread house on the net, heavily decorated with chocolates, candies, cookies etc. etc. on thick icing…. Do people actually eat them?!
Hi Phan
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
Did you ever have fun!
ting-aling,
Hey, the most fun part was taking pics with the candle light. The candle was too tall so when I got the whole candle in the photo, the food looked too small. I tried different angles and positions, and almost burned my camera and/or fingers.
Hi Spottiswoode,
Thanks. This time I learned a lesson…Maccha cookies don’t taste good for more than a day or two. Baking them several days before Christmas was certainly a bad idea. Anyway, with my recipe, I thought maccha cookie balls tasted better than the ones cut into shapes. I guess the baking time in my recipe could be too long for other people…My oven is so small and has weak heating power. BTW, glad to hear that you liked Izakaya ;)
Oh~ Obachan, so great to be back to read ur blog with such a great post. The last pic ginger house was the one u mentioned be4 right? It looks really cute. Too cute to eat it actually. Kekeke...
hi obachan, i love your photos, so serene and comforting. your gingerbread house is the most beautiful. also, the uncaked sushi looks delicious.
another must try!
No company.. obachan..??!!!?? Arrrghhhhhhhh.....!! :(
But as usual.. food looks great.. !! i hope you had a good christmas.. and a happy new year.
> drstel --- Thanks. I really feel rewarded because I did make some struggles. Now every time I look at those photos, I feel so much comfort and peace. I’m glad I did all that for Christmas this year …. the memories are making me feel richer than I ever expected.
> MrsTweety --- It was a good Christmas after all. No big parties, but I did have some fun with a friend and also relaxed, quiet time alone with lots of yummies. So can’t complain. Luckily I found someone to give some of my leftover cookies, too.
> fish fish --- Welcome back! Enjoyed the white Christmas with lots of snow? Now it's really a problem... seriously, I can't eat the gingerbread house. I can't stand seeing it being broken into pieces....
