Anybody doing wild New Year's Eve stuff?

Experimenting with making Hainanese Chicken Rice from a box of seasoning "kit."
Need to supply the raw chicken, the uncooked rice, chicken stock, and some oil; but the seasoning "kit" supposedly has everything else you need to make the chicken and rice into Hainanese Chicken Rice.

But I did make an absolutely perfect prime rib. Highly recommend.

Not me. Having a single malt at home, Deanston Virgin Oak…inexpensive but surprisingly good. Happy New Year!

My mother came over and Mr SK made toshi-koshi soba (year’s end soba noodles) for dinner. We visited for a while, she went home at 8pm maybe. Then we watched a movie, and were in bed 11pm.
Today we’ll take down our christmas trees (which will break my heart) while watching a recording of the 4-hour New Year’s Eve Japanese song contest Kohaku.

Taking down the tree makes me sad too. I also do it on New Year’s Day. It’s quite beautiful this year (even though the lower limbs are sparse and it’s slightly crooked - we cut it in the forest south of town) and I finally realized how much I hate LED christmas lights (the brightness and intensity of the colors) and I purchased some good old mini incandescents like I used to put on the tree. It made me very happy.

good old mini incandescents
Those are the best! The warm color tone is much nicer than the harsh white led light.
Our trees are all put away.
This year I had 446 ornaments between the two trees. Plus two tree toppers.

SK and Mik, I like your trees!
Ours is now out for composting. Sorry, no pics. We don’t hang ornaments any more (time intensive), just lights. We also have lights around the front porch.
