For the first time last month, we had the opportunity to do a special education program where the Seattle Fire Department visited the children to talk about fire safety. The children all listened intently and asked questions like “How much oxygen is in the air tank?” showing their interest and intelligence. They were also given the opportunity to check out the fire truck and equipment up close. Everyone had a great time and the children were able to create a lasting memory from this experience!

In this month, we are serving noppei-jiru, chicken and winter root vegitable soup, from Niigata area. They get great deal of snow in winter. Even, the snows reach the top of roofs sometimes. Then the snow melt in spring, and they grow delicious rice and vegetables with the water from the snow. In this soup, there are many kinds of vegetables such as taro, lotus roots, gobo, and carrots. The soup makes you warm and healthy.
