We got THE coolest package from Japan from our daughter yesterday. She and her husband sent us a whole box of crazy cool treats! We’re going to try them tonight. We’re a fairly adventurous family but I’m going to need some bravery tasting dried squid meat, eggplant hard candy and beef & zucchini chips! My guess? Delicious! I’ll let you know.
The evening will be simple – playing card or board games and listening to neighborhood fireworks at midnight. Food will be homemade baguette toasts with hummus and cheeses and a veggie tray. Also those awesome Japanese treats. And we’re going to make party hats from old rolls of Christmas wrapping paper, with a prize going to first and runner up designs.

That ought to be silly fun and I’ll be getting rid of excess old wrapping paper too. Reduce & reuse ftw!
Happy New Year to you all!
Happy New Year, Julia and family–interesting that you would have received treats from Japan yesterday!! We received a box of treats from Japan from our daughter-in-law’s family, also, three days ago; needless to say, ours weren’t quite as interesting or intriguing as yours, though–just cookies and cake treats which are wonderfully delicious, however! The Japanese are masters at this type of baking…well, any kind of cooking for that matter!
So cool, Brenda! What a coincidence that we both have relatives in Japan! I agree about Japanese food. I’m looking forward to visiting my daughter and her husband in Tokyo later this year. She is always telling me about fascinating foods and restaurants there. I just learned that there are vending machines that have Hot Gingerale in cans. The machine heats up the can before dispensing it. Tonight we didn’t try everything. There was too much. We love the grape gummies and citrus Twix. The little nori-wrapped crisp sticks with peanuts were really good too!
