The Year of the Dog

Happy New Year everybody,

I hope that you are having fun eating and sleeping (食っちゃ寝) during the New Year's holiday. Jack and I are looking forward to (〜に楽しみにしている) hearing all about your winter break next week. Until then, get plenty of rest (たっぷり休暇を取って) while enjoying traditional Japanese New Year dishes (おせち料理) and rice cake soup (お雑煮).

All the best in the Year of the Dog,

Alan

P.S. Of course, you can't fully enjoy your rice cake soup unless it's made Sanuki Style: with white miso and rice cakes filled with sweet bean paste (あん餅).
