We are heading into December soon! I don’t quite feel ready yet….! How about you?

Some things last week:

On Thanksgiving, we did our usual hotpot. We bought meat from the Japanese supermarket on the way back from picking up the kid from camp.

The kids helped make a brownie cheesecake (recipe from King Arthur). My younger boy loves cheesecake but no one else does (I quite like Japanese cheesecake though!), so this was a kind of compromise

Last night, we had Indian food. This is paneer butter masala and dal makhani with garlic naan.
