Happy New Year!

Whew, it's been quite a year. Work has been crazy and we managed to squeeze in four (if you count Vancouver) international trips as well. And suddenly, it's almost 2017.

Anyway, New Year's Eve started as things usually do for me, with last minute trips to Nijiya and Mitsuwa, giving me a chance to check out the Osechi, something that I've done since my first New Year post.

Then of course, I made Nishime.

This year we did something a bit different for New Year's Eve. We decided to go out and have a nice dinner. With the rainy weather we decided to stay close to home and check out the New Years Tasting Menu at Red Card Café. The price seemed quite reasonable at $46 per person and we were pleasantly surprised. We enjoyed our meal.

And we stopped for a drink on the way home at the High Dive.

The theme seemed to be Disco and the staff dressed appropriately for that theme. The Missus couldn't stop laughing and folks were having a great time.

And when was the last time I heard this:

Or this…..

Now where did I put those Angel Flight Pants???

As the year comes to a close, everyone here at mmm-yoso would like to thank you for dropping by and extend best wishes for 2017!
