January is the coldest month in Japan.

I am re-affirming it to myself recently.

But I’m not sure I feel so because it is metrologically really so or because of my age. 

I need to find the methods this and that to make myself comfortable to pass this cold season which I often wish to escape from.   

Fortunately I found some ways and I am still fit and active.  Hooray !!

Japanese New Year finished, but Lunar New Year is coming soon !

When it arrives, the spring is around the corner. 

Hotokenoza, one of the first wildflowers of the year that I found during my walk.

I would be able to smell the spring in the air and find the pretty spring wildflowers on the ground despite of the coldness which may last some more. 

Oinunofuguri, another lovely wildflower of the very early spring.

Today I am sharing a recipe which was created from my fond memory of Lunar New Year in Singapore.

Singaporeans celebrate the New Year with the variety kinds of cookies.  I used to love those cookies and wanted to learn how to make them from the first year I experienced it. 

At that time, internet was not popular at all even in IT advanced Singapore.  So I got most of the information from the newspaper, “Straits Times”.  I used to like to read it and spent hours to read it every day especially for the first few years there.   I learned so many things and got so much information about Singapore from it.  Without it, I probably was not able to actively immerse myself in Singapore. 

I searched “Cookery Class “section of the classified ad of Straits Times and went to learn how to make the cookies mainly from individuals by visiting their homes. 

MRT, the subway was not constructed yet, so I drove wherever I went and learned the map of Singapore too, of course without GPS to guide me.   Oh yes, I was very active looking for something new all the time.   

Though I was brought up in Japan during my childhood and live in Japan now, 21 years of my life in Singapore, starting to work, starting to have a family, starting to have my own business there influenced me so much.   Who I am now cannot be without those days.  

My life in Japan now is very quiet and frugal,  very different from the one of those days, but I can really appreciat what I have now and my mind is always peaceful and contentted.  

I treasure those memories in me as I probably can’t visit Singapore anymore.

Well I should stop my memory talk now…

Enjoy my recipe, the vegan peanut cookies and Baci De Dama (It is a Italian word meaning “Lady’s Kisses” and actually it is the chocolate sandwiched cookies.)

They are very easy to make and very tasty !

But are so fragile, so be gentle whenever you handle them until they go into your mouth !
