Ichinomiya Pot Luck Christmas Party

Dec

If you don`t know, a `pot luck` party is one where everyone brings some food. The variety & quality of dishes at Saturday night`s party was excellent - pasta, salad, sushi, nabe (a pot of soup/broth/stew), cupcakes, pancakes and more. A very satisfying winter feast. Well done everyone!

Of course there were drinks too - soda/soft drink, juice, beer, & wine, including a familiar-looking bottle of beaujolais nouveau which managed to survive last week`s Gifu wine party.

Our regular Ichinomiya musician, Kiyotaka, was performing in Nagoya, so he couldn`t attend. Fortunately we had a charming replacement in Yoshiko, who brought her electric piano & played various popular Christmas tunes for us. We even had a sing-along for `Santa Claus is Coming to Town` - good fun.

Indeed, Santa Claus IS coming to town - have you finished (started?) your Christmas shopping yet?

It looks savory. I would have a nice time, if I would go to the party, wouldn't I?
It has been in Christmas season, I've not remmembered it. Ha,ha.....
So, I will listen a CD, which is Chrismas songs, for background music in tonight.

Do you have Christmas music CDs? Who are the singers? I like Christmas songs by artists such as Frank Sinatra & Doris Day, but "All I Want For Christmas" by Mariah Carey irritates me when I hear it...

I brought a thirst & an appetite!
But my wife made pasta & also gratin.  Of course they were delicious!
It`s a shame you couldn`t make it, but how about coming to the Gifu Teragoya Christmas party tomorrow night (17th)? I`ll be there (with my thirst & appetite again!)
