Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a festive and safe New Year's eve!

This year, I made Oden for New Year, along with a couple of other dishes.

The Missus also wanted a couple of other items…. and since I made 12 quarts of Dashi I made Kiriboshi Daikon and Hijiki Nimono.

And topped things off with a small store bought Osechi.

And had just enough Dashi left to make a pseudo-Ozoni.
