La Fuji Mama — Bringing world flavors to the family dinner table.

Christmas decorations and Capturing Color

I meant to show you this yesterday, but Blogger would have nothing to do with it. I made these “Road to Bethlehem” visuals over the weekend. I am in charge of music time for the children at church, and this is a visual aid for one of our activities: Squirrel and I went out on […]

We seem to be experiencing some technical difficulties . . . .

Well, I was going to show-and-tell about what I have been working on since last night, but Blogger is putting up a fight and not letting me upload those pictures, so . . . I guess you will just have to wait and wonder until I can get past these technical difficulties! I guess it’s […]

Leftovers

left·o·ver /lěft’ō’vər/ [left-oh-ver] –noun: Usually, leftovers. Food remaining uneaten at the end of a meal, esp. when saved for later use. (“leftovers.” Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1). Random House, Inc. 24 Nov. 2007. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/leftovers.) Are you sick of talking about turkey? I’m not! I LOVE the day after Thanksgiving because that means leftovers. Today we enjoyed […]

The Aftermath

I can barely breathe, let alone walk, because I am so full. We celebrated Thanksgiving today at the M’s. The lovely and talented Ms. M and the amazing Thanksgiving sign that she helped her kids make. There was a total of 5 families, and everyone brought food to contribute to the meal, so it was […]

I’m thankful for . . .

Happy Thanksgiving! I get to celebrate double this week, as we are not having our Thanksgiving feast until tomorrow. Today I sat and played with Squirrel, did some housework, put my last SP11 package in the mail to my Spoilee (the big reveal is coming soon!), and nursed the beginnings of a cold. The best […]

Swappy J. Swappington must love me . . . .

I received a delivery from the postman today–a box marked “Royal Mail” addressed to ME from my wonderful SP11 pal Swappy J. Swappington! I truly did receive royal treatment, because inside that box was this: Instructions on how to cast on for 2 socks on 1 circular needle, instructions on knitting 2 socks at one […]

Turkey Day Plans?

I’m just sitting here writing out my grocery list for Thanksgiving and wondering what everyone else’s plans are for Turkey Day? Thursday is a regular work day for everyone here, so we aren’t actually having the big Thanksgiving feast until Friday, which is conveniently a Japanese holiday. We are going over to a friend’s house […]

Another Soup Day

Today was a cold and crisp day. It was sunny and there was a slight wind that blew all of the gunk out of the air leaving a beautiful blue sky dotted with puffy white clouds. Autumnal colors come very late here in Tokyo, but some of the leaves are finally starting to change. […]

Loss and Gain

I snapped this photo of Hubby and Squirrel this afternoon–aren’t they cute? I have noticed recently that Squirrel is losing a little bit of the baby look and starting to look a little more like a little girl. It is so sad, yet so fun!To close out this post today, I would like to share […]

Does your white page cause you anguish?

I have what the French would call “l’angoisse de la page blanche”. Translation: Anguish of the white page, aka, “Writer’s Block”. (I have no clue how to say that in Japanese! Can anyone tell me?) I guess it serves me right for bragging about how I had made it past the half-way mark for NaBloPoMo. […]
