It is tradition to eat Soba noodle - buckwheat noodle on the new year's eve in Japan, so I made warm soup Soba noodle with toasted Abura-Age (deep fried tofu) along with mushroom and green onion. Since it was a kind of special day - new year's eve after all, we cooked steak as well. We went to Whole Foods for the shopping and at the butcher counter we saw New York Strip steak, but it was close to 2 inches thick. So I asked the person to cut it in half, and it came out really nicely - like Japanese/European steak.
There was another round of snow over night, and the surface was covered by the snow again - very pretty.
As our tradition, we had smoked salmon which we bought at Zabar's a couple of days ago on the bagel - one open face sandwich and the other one became sandwich. Their one piece was really big (one tenth of pound), so one piece per person was enough for breakfast.
We concluded 2009 with Japanese tradition and started 2010 with the other...
Wish all a happy new year in 2010...
