No-agrochemicals Apples

I bought Apples (No-agrochemicals) at Union SQ Green Market today. These were all different shapes. They look super UGLY, but I really love them.

In 2012, the United States sent 3,000 dogwood saplings to Japan to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the Washington D.C. cherry trees given as a gift to the U.S. by Japan in 1912.

I made Botamochi, which is a springtime treat made with sweet rice ( made with Brown rice and no sugar added, at this time.) and sweet azuki (red bean) paste.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year

It's a Vegan Osechi.

Osechi-ryōri are traditional Japanese New Year foods. The tradition started in the Heian Period (794-1185). Osechi are easily recognizable by their special boxes called jūbako, which resemble bentō boxes. Like bentō boxes, jūbako are often kept stacked before and after use.
