How did you welcome new year? New years day is the biggest holiday in Japan. We asked our son to bring ingredients from Vancouver (as there is no asian grocery store in Gabriola…) and made some new year’s dishes. Each dish has a meaning. Shrimp is for longevity from the shape that the back is…

Apple scrap vinegar started on Nov. 15 is now complete! (click here to see our original post). Taste milder than store bought apple cider vinegar and with pleasant fruit flavour. We are very happy with the result of our first-time experiment and surprised how easy it was. Although 2024 has almost ended, our adventure continues……
