Golden Week

Today begins Japan's Golden Week, a week of holidays. This weekend instead of working on homework, housework or yard work we will be going festival crazy. Saturday is a cherry blossom festival and Sunday is the Ono festival.

We are going with friends to both festivals and in the Japanese tradition we will have potluck picnics and bbqs. I am busy today making shopping lists, grocery shopping and cooking. My Japanese friend is a much better cook and even though she works full time her dishes are always favored over mine. I also have to work around Lily's food allergies (wheat, corn, oat, egg, tomato and apple). I am hoping for some sort of inspiration, maybe it will kick in after my next cup of coffee.
