Food, Food, and More Food Thread

I know why I'm not...my family is like 75 miles away. I could drive there...but I don't trust the roads tonight. Plus I have to work Wednesday. And I don't really have any friends down here, so I'm in the same boat as you guys. :(

How come you're not hanging wit h your family today?

(of course, I could ask myself the same question)

Because I'm planning to hang out with them tomorrow. I've done the "alone" thing on new years for several years now, with the exception of last year because one of my friends had a party.

Wow, 75 miles away? Nowhere on this island is more than um, 30 miles, I think. Most of the places I go to are 15 minutes or less, so anything more than that is just too much. And I wouldn't trust the roads either, especially when dumbasses light their fireworks on it. :grumble:

That must be kind of weird. Well, I mean not for you, but for me. Even though my family is 75 miles away, they're still part of the geographic San Francisco Bay Area in Santa Rosa.

Yeah, they are... I didn't think there would be ones as good as the Day-Lee Pride ones, but the Ajinomoto gyoza are pretty good...

I was supposed to go to Toshi's tonight but cancelled the plan in order to get a workout in. :mecry:

Had dinner with family... Chinese food, of course.

Fortunately, the food was good... And surprisingly, my mom found no fault with the food... :shocked:

And here's some New Years food pics as promised:

There was a ton of food to eat:

maki & cone sushi

lime tofu pie

shrimp with black bean sauce
sweet & sour spare ribs
namasu
ozoni (I forgot to take a pic of this)
salad
fruit salad
cinnamon swirl cake with strussel topping

And later on, my mom's friend dropped off some appetizers:

Tempura veggies, andagi, and fried tofu

And also some dessert

pecan squares, date bars, red velvet cake (frosting came off when we removed the cover), lemon cake, lemon bars, and mini cheesecakes. So much for me sticking to my resolution. :sweat:

She also brought some sekihan to eat for good luck. I forgot to take a pic of that as well. :( All in all, it was a feast and my friends, who had never been over during new years, seemed impressed by the spread. :)

:puppydog: :puppydog: :puppydog:

Any leftovers?

Always had this aversion to taking pictures of the food I'm eating... Seems odd. :beaten:

Whoa, major feast... :thumbsup:

Lime tofu pie... VERY intriguing. :)

TONS. I'd give you guys some if I knew they wouldn't spoil. :)

Odd? Haha, you should see my family's reaction when I'm taking food pics. Luckily, my 2 other friends took pics of the food too, so they saw that I'm not the only weird one. :hehe: Of course, one of them has a food blog, which makes it a good excuse to take random pics of food..

And yup, it was a really good feast. :D I didn't try the lime tofu pie though. I was waiting for the other goodies. :drooling:
