31th of December.
On this day, we have many things to do for New Year!!
Preparation for Nimono (boiled food).
Well, I also had to finish cleaning up my room up, so when I went to help my mom, she had already made broth with dried kelp.
Burdocks and lotus root, which had already soaked in water, and carrots and satoimo (taro) potatoes are previously in the pot.
Dried shiitakes, reconstituted for more than half a day from this morning.
Yes, this is my turn.
Cut the dried shiitake with flowers’ die; this is the way my family has at New Year.
At any rate, it’s too difficult to do dried shiitake with dies. Marks were remained on my palms.
Next, konnyaku.
Cut, twist, and then made them decorated.
They are also be boiled, and scum is removed.
How are they?
Tomorrow, the taste will be seeped into them well! Cannot wait!
Break time!
