Just One Cookbook celebrates 8 year blog anniversary with first-ever reader survey and giveaway!
January 1 – Oshogatsu & JOC Blog Anniversary
January 1, 2019, marked Just One Cookbook’s 8 year blog anniversary. This year was especially special as my family and I got to spend Oshogatsu (Japanese New Year) with my parents and my brother who was visiting from Thailand where he lives.
Celebrating the biggest holiday in Japan with my entire family was a dream of mine for a long time as we live far from each other. We traveled to Yamanashi Prefecture the day before (New Year’s Eve) and spent the next two days to celebrate the New Years, enjoying the big feast, soaking onsen (hot springs), and seeing beautiful snow-capped Mt. Fuji.
It was truly a magical time, and I am fully recharged for what 2019 will bring to us!
JOC First-Ever Reader Survey
Every blog anniversary I celebrated with a giveaway, but this year, on top of the giveaway, I wanted to do something that would help my readers. For that, I created our first-ever reader survey so I can learn more about what YOU want to get from visiting Just One Cookbook.
If you have two minutes to spare, would you please fill it out? Your answers will provide valuable information for us to figure out the future of Just One Cookbook. Click here to fill out the survey!
8 Year Blog Anniversary Giveaway – Win a $250 Amazon Gift Card (2 Winners)
I asked JOC friends on Instagram Stories what gift would make their day, and many responded. Thank you for answering them!
Some of you wish for sleeping in, an engagement, a trip to Japan…Well, I probably can’t grant you these, but you have my best wishes!
Some of you wish for Japanese sweets, Japanese ceramics, a knife from Japan, bento box, tea set, matcha, tempura pot, stationery, and more. We can definitely do a giveaway on these items when we spend the summer in Japan. Please stay tuned.
Some wish to cook with me or meet me in person. I am flattered! I can definitely find a way to meet you in person. Ping me!
Some of you mentioned JOC swag… Actually, we’re checking different brands to see their quality. When it’s all good, we will definitely do a giveaway and put on our shop!
And some of you said Japanese ingredients. Make sure to subscribe to my weekly newsletter. From this month onwards, I will randomly pick one person every month from the email list and send a Japanese ingredient that the winner cannot get locally.
Now to grant most of your wishes, we decided to give away a $250 Amazon gift card or $250 cash via PayPal to 2 lucky winners! [Full Disclosure: This giveaway is sponsored by yours truly.]
Thank you for being on this journey with us! You all make this blog so fun and make it possible for Mr. JOC and I do what we love together. We’re forever grateful and just can’t thank you enough. 🙂

Happy Eighth Birthday, Just One Cookbook! Thank you for your hard work, Nami.
I was in Tokyo mid December, it was so cold but I fell in love. I wish I didnt have to come back to cali. I tried Okonomiyaki, and immediately came to your page to see if u had a recipe. I’ll be trying to make it within the next 2 wks. Fingers cross! I’m a terrible cook but great baker.
Keep up the good work!
I‘ve tried many of your recipes recently my fave is the Hiyashi Chuka sesame/miso also in winter ^^
Signed up to the newsletter & I always enjoy the recipes.
Happy anniversary!
Yours is my favorite food blog! Please keep posting easy instant pot recipes for Japanese dishes. I want to make chawabmushi but don’t have 5 ramekins. I wonder if I can make just one big bowl of it?

Happiest 8th Anniversary, JOC! Survey has been completed.
Love your recipes but think you are too tuned into the internet response: i.e. using the giveaways to make people respond on various social media. It is a bit mercenary.
I follow via newsletter.

I filled out your survey.
Happy Anniversary!
I am the king of the subscribed.
I have filled out the survey.
I did your survey! “Exotic” Japanese ingredients would be Great, as I basically have to order everything online- amazon is my Asian Grocery here in the rural mountains of southern West Virginia! I, too, would love you to host a contest or a sweepstakes for a trip to Japan (sponsored by an airline???), so my husband and I might be able to return! I am a travel-foodie blogger, and we had 4 Amazing days & nights in Japan during our Honeymoon in 2008 (South Korea-Japan-Vietnam), and I would walk over hot coal and broken glass to be able to return- for at least a month, so I can eat my way across Japan, tasting and learning to make regional specialties, doing sake tastings, staying in historic ryokans, and soaking in hot springs… (Hey- a girl can dream, right?) 🙂
Happy anniversary! Thank you very much for sharing your yummy recipes!
Congrats on the anniversary!! Thanks for all that you do.

I filled out your survey. Ingredient giveaways are exciting! I used to live in a city with a large Asian grocery – now I live in the mountains and interesting food is harder to come by.
Without a doubt the best food blog I follow, everything new I try from JOC inevitably ends up on permanent rotation in my kitchen!
There is always something interesting in your posts – I’ve tried recipes, and seen things I’d like to try, see, and places to visit! Thank you for sharing your world with me.

I filled out the survey quite happily. I think you do a super job. Thanks so much for your commitment to delighting your audience and broadening our understanding of Asian culture through food. Our taste buds thank you, too!
I completed the survey. Thank you!
I filled out your questionnaire.
hi..im a sometimes cook. japanese cuisine is one of my favorite foods both at home and at restaurants. i was in Japan from 1952-55…flying back and forth to Korea as an air crew radio operator. I was amazed, as an American, at the Japanese food, custom, and wonderful presentation.
i have bought many articles to prepare Japanese food, but havent made any until i found your cookbook. Im doing real simple recipes. and keeping track of what i would like to cook, but i dont have the confidence built up to try some of the recipes I would like to make!
Thanks to you, i have, at least, the book I need to continue cooking. So thank you!!
All of the JOC recipes I’ve tried are so authentic and my family looks forward to dinners nowadays. I’m Japanese (from Sapporo) too, and so glad to have found you! My family especially loves “Wafu Hamburgu” and noodle dishes. Please keep up with your great work! 本年もよろしくお願いいたします！
I’ve very much enjoyed your robust content and introductions to all the wonderful cookbooks you showcase!
I’ve completed your survey from the newsletter link I received.
Thank you so much for the great information that you provide!
Happy 8th anniversary! I’ve been a subscriber of your blog for quite sometime now and I really love trying your easy Japanese recipes. I am looking forward to more recipes and cooking tips, etc. I am an ESL tutor for Japanese students and I sometimes talk about the recipes with them. God bless and more blessings, JOC! 😊
Happy anniversary! Keep up the great work! I love your recipes, have tried some, they were great!

After several trips to Japan, I never thought that I would be able to recreate any of my favorite dishes from there. We had had some grilled mochi stuffed with bean paste that we loved. So, I googled mochi and azuki and found your site. My daughter and I now each have a mochi machine so we can treat ourselves whenever we need to. To top that, you have made my very very favorite dish chawanmushi so very easy to do with an Instant Pot. In fact, I bought one for her and for me for Christmas. Also, she needs the GF version and has been so sad not to be able to have this dish at our favorite restaurant, Momotaro, when I visit Chicago. We are both excited.
Happy Blog anniversary!
I took the survey!
Thanks! I’m already subscribed to your newsletter.
Congrats on your 8th anniversary!
I completed the survey!
I love being able to cook some of the Japaanese recipes and seeing the plqaces you visit while in Japan makes me remember my stay in Japan during my Junior year. The memories are good ones. My uncle had an inn and restaurant in Chigasaki- Kurrihara Inn. Following him around and watching the awesome dishes he cooked in such a relatively small and less than ideal kitchen was amazing. I learned a lot and have enjoyed cooking the Japanese foods my mother made. Holidays were always a special celebration and I have enjoyed following your special recipes.
Filled the survey, happy anniversary!
I subscribed to your newsletter.
I can’t believe it’s been so long! I discovered your blog while doing a google search for sukiyaki recipes (my parents liked the dish, but I’m a vegetarian and didn’t know much about cooking it). I was so intrigued by the other recipes, I subscribed to the blog, and here we are, eight years later. Congratulations! I hope to see many more posts here, especially as I’m doing research for my own trip to Japan this coming fall.
I took Your survey.
Happy anniversary. I use your recipes often. I have filled the survey.
Your recipes are the best!
I completed the survey. Thanks.
I’d love to have access to more Japanese ingredients! Montana doesn’t have a lot.
Just learned about the website from my mom. I will try some recipes this year.
Thank you Nami and the JOC team for putting together this wonderful blog; I use it almost every day 🙂
Love your blog and videos!
Thank you for doing this giveaway, and congratulations on 8 years!
I took the survey!
Would love to see more recipes using the Instant Pot. I have had a 6 qt for two years and decided to get a 3 qt recently because my original pot did not have the yogurt feature. I made my first batch of yogurt using 2% milk. In the future, I will try making natto.
Happy Anniversary JOC!
I loved seeing your pictures from Oshogatsu with your family! Thanks for all your amazing recipes, they always turn out amazing 🙂 excited for another great year!
I loved the survey! Thank you so much for thinking about us and the content that interests us 🙂
How time flies! 8 years and looking forward to more.
Enjoy your recipes!
Love your receipes and your travel stories! Happy 8th anniversary!
Wish I had time to try all of the recipes!
Happy 8th birthday JOC!
I look forward to learning a lot more from you about Japan and its food & life & culture.
Love it to get lost on your website 🙂
Thank you for sharing all your wonderful knowledge with us!
Thanks for the mochi recipe using the stand mixer. Can’t wait to try it as I’ve found the mochi machine to be cumbersome
Eight years and counting! Keep the wonderful recipes coming. ☺️
My Japanese wife and I, who lived and worked, in the military, in Japan for 25 years, vrey much appreciate the authenticity of your recipes. We have numerous Japanese and Chinese cookbooks, but yours are wonderful and appreciated. Thank you.
Congratulations for your 8th anniversary!!! You have an amazing website、thank you for all your efforts. Wish you many more years to come 🙂
Hope our survey answers are helpful for your blog. ☺️
I am only an occasional chef but I love your posts and recipes.
Just wish I could access all the ingredients.
My husband and I enjoy your newsletters and recipes! In fact, some of our favourite dishes to eat and cook come from JOC! My personal favourite is Japanese Hambugu and Potato salad! So Yummy!!! Please keep inspiring!
Really enjoy all your recipes and your fountain of information about Japanese ingredients and cooking techniques. I love Japanese food and your website is the go to for recipes. Always enjoy your trips to Japan.
I filled the survey ^_^
Congratulations an happy anniversary!
Structure of a meal: E.G.dinner, appetizer? how many courses? If any? Breakfast one or two dishes? Lunch? During the day snacks & evening snacks, if any?
The search system: Nice, but has built-in priorities, therefore, sometimes mislead the search.
Not meant to be critical. Enjoy many of your recipes & your take on: “Midnight Diner” recipes.
I subscribed to your blog long ago! It’s not quite 8 years, but at least 6+. I still visit for recipe help, and love reading about your travels. We’re in the planning stages for our 3rd trip to Japan in about a year from now. This time we are bringing my parents, and potentially a friend of theirs. It should be lots of fun.
Congrats on 8th blog-versary, JOC 🙂
Filled in the survey.
Yet again、 happy birthday JOC! ❤❤❤
I have already subscribed to the email list. 🥰 I have been a huge fan of JOC for several years now, in fact I am pretty sure I have turned into a JOC Otaku. 😉
I filled in the survey as well. It occurs to me, it might be interesting to do more “As seen on TV/Netflix” series. I think Sweet Tooth Salaryman would be a lot of fun to try the desserts.
Option #1
I enjoy your videos very much and I have tried many of your recipes like chawan mushi and grilled eggplant. Keep up the good work, JOC! I am subscribed to your emails.
Option #2 Congrats on JOC’s 8th year anniversary!
Completed the survey. Happy Anniversary JOC!! 🎉

Happy 8th anniversary!
I love the recipes and all the different blog post shared♡
Last week i tried the Castella cake recipe and all my friends loved it. I now understand why you make two each time. I halved the amount but next time I might as well make it four times because I don’t want the cake gone before I can taste any of it again.
Over the 6 months, you have become essential to my family. Thanks to your receipes but picky eaters are now looking forward to the next receipe to try. I hope you have a wonderful Anniversary! Arigato!
Filled out the survey!
Happy 8th Anniversary! Looking forward to another year of great recipes!
You have no idea how much I love chawanmushi! I’ve only found it once and now the restaurant is closed I can’t get it in my city :(. I’d be over the moon to meet you too. I’ve travelled all over the world and Japan is on my to do list still. I’m totally a foodie( I use to cook at two previous jobs) and will never stop travelling. At the moment I’m craving blue lagoons to swim in. I’m thinking Roratonga or Tahiti maybe.
I love your recipes and use them all the time.

The japanese ingredient giveaway is a good idea because not everybody has a japanese grocery in their neighborhood.
Best wishes for your 8th anniversary !
I filled out your reader survey. Thank you
Happy blogversity
I am already a member for your newsletter 🙂
Happy 8th birthday to your blog! Keep up the wonderful job, and thank you for everything! 🙂
I was so glad to find this blog a few years ago because trying to figure out how to cook Japanese foods while living in Tokyo was difficult because of the language barrier, so it was great to find recipes in English with through explanations. Congrats on eight years and I can’t wait to see more recipes! 🙂
Survey ✅
Been following this blog for a while now, love it and use the recipes regularly.
Just filled out the survey, I hope to see more regional dishes this year!
woah, i think i’ve first (something happened so i had to re-subscribe recently) subscribed sometime around summer 2015? :0
time sure flies fast, keep up the good work ^^
Congratulations on 8 years of JOC! Several of your recipes have become staples in our household. I enjoy your content and videos and hope to keep on learning from you for years to come.
Subscribed to newsletter
aaand the survey is done! ^^
though I have less opportunities to cook for now, I still enjoy the posts 😀
Congrats on your 8th anniversary and definitely looking to many more years ahead! Have also participated in the survey…
PS: Please come to New Zealand!
I am subscribed to your newsletter!
I answered the survey that I received my e-mail. I would like to enter the contest. Happy New Year and Happy Aniversary! From Canada.
I’m so grateful for finding your blog more than a year ago!! I didn’t subscribe to your newsletter then because I hate being swamped and then unsubscribe eventually. To simplify my life (in Konmari wisdom), I resolved 2 years ago that I will only subscribe if I find myself visiting a blogger throughout a year, which means that I find their content relevant to me. Not just did I visit your blog often, but I’ve printed recipes, watched your videos with my family, browsed through your site, and has seen changes to your site too. And on my visit today, I saw the chance to be rewarded for subscribing.
I also decided to participate on your survey PRIOR to seeing this contest because I realized I’ve been searching for substitutes for ingredients I can’t find in our neighborhood grocery. I’ve learned to keep to the recipe to honor the country the dish came from and to understand why a special seasonal dish is special. But often I find those dishes too good to cook on a seasonal basis, so I end up surfing for substitutes – which is often a gamble. I hope my participation helps too.
You’re my go-to blog for Japanese comfort food, home and culture. I’m a mixed-ethnicity-Asian expat here in the deep Southern US, wife and mom, and with the great beef brisket BBQs, we often need to be reminded of home. Thanks, congratulations and wishes to your team’s success!

Happy Anniversary JOC!!! I love your recipes and travel post.
I subscribed to your newsletter and I’m and completely honest when I say I open it every time
I love your recipes!
Nami – Congratulations on your 8th – no wonder your son and daughter seem so big ! Methinks I have been with you almost all that time and have enjoyed every click . . . somehow you seem part of ‘my family’ also and, if and when I do get to SF, I hope I may be on your doorstop . . .
Just completed survey…
love the recipes, want to try some of the matcha tea cake recipes. since I am not the primary cook I don’t have opportunity to try a lot, but I have on occasion worked one into the menu.
When I don’t know what to cook, I can always count on your recipes! Thanks for making me look like a good cook.
Looking forward to future world wide giveaways and trying the survey, great idea.
I just love this channel, and feel very grateful that I came across it, wish that I would have found it sooner, I love Japanese cuisine, and was taught by my father how to cook many Japanese dishes, probably why I love to cook, I love to find just the right ingredients to make a dish that is my favorite or a new one that I think I will love. Thank you for creating this amazing channel and I look forward to many more recipes. One day I hope to be able to visit Japan.
Happy New Year! Keep up the good work and look forward to new and exciting recipes this year!
Happy New Year and congratulations on 8 years! I am already subscribed to your newsletter

Happy anniversary from France! Wish you the best!
Have been reading your blog/watching your videos for years! After my first (and sadly only trip so far) to Japan in 2013, I wanted to learn how to recreate some dishes. When I discovered JOC through your book (got it at the airport when I was leaving Japan) I was hooked!
Thank you for the amazing work!
From the first second on that you have introduced the clay pot rice cooker, I have been obsessed with getting my very own Kamado-San, so I would love to win to finally get my hands on one.
Greetings from Germany!
Thanks for all the recipes.
I’ve learned a lot on your blog and have esp enjoyed the instant pot recipes. Thank you

Dear JoC Team,
Funnily enough I went to Japan in 2014 to visit a friend and travel a bit, and I had a great time.
When I got back I wanted to make some of the great things I’d eaten and that’s when I discovered your blog. I have since made a lot of different things and enjoy reading and watching those I don’t try for one reason or another.
Anyhoo, keep up the good work!

Your cookbook is like a Japanese food dictionary to me. Each time I miss Japanese food and want to cook something, I come here to check, even if I already know how to make it, as I this will make sure I do it the authentic way… And your recipes never failed me.

Happy Birthday! Your recipes helped me big time during university and they are delicious to share with friends and family!
I had subscribed to your email newsletter.
Survey complete! Looking forward to more delicious japanese dishes
I had filled out your first-ever reader survey. 🙂
I remember making gyoza after finding your blog about making the wrappers. Finding anything Asian in the middle of Wyoming is difficult. Your blog makes it more accessible and much tastier than the local “cuisine.”
Happy anniversary
survey complete! looking forward to the new dishes. 🙂
Thank you for your content!

I just filled out the survey. I can wait to see what you have in store for the new year
love your website!
Congrats on your 8 year blog anniversary! My family is also very spread out and we finally got to all be together after Christmas.
Congratulations on 8 years!
Filled out the survey–looking forward to seeing new recipes!
I enjoy your recipes, but mostly I like your “voice”. Your writing is personal and unique! Thank you.
Happy birthday, good work and to the next 8 years!.
Thanks for the easy recipes. I would like to try making tsukemono but I am limited by the ingredients available locally in New York city.
Happy anniversary! Love all your recipes!
I’m subscribed to your newsletter 🙂
I’ve filled in your survey 🙂
Congratulations on 8 years! I love your blog soooo much – I hope it’s around forever!
I filled out your survey!
I love your site and cook a lot of the recipes from it. I live in the SF Bay Area, so I have access to a lot of the ingredients and kitchen tools. I was born in Osaka and I inherited my mother’s mochi machine. I make a lot of mochi during the New Year for friends and family. My wife likes it with kinako and sugar. I prefer soy sauce and nori.
Already subscribed!
Very excited for the year to come and all the new recipes!
Did the survey too!
Congratulations again Nami and JOC! Thank you for sharing your culture and talent with us, we’ll still be here for many more anniversaries, hugs!
I enjoy your videos. Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. I can’t always easily find ingredients here in Maine but I improvise. I am glad to see you add other Asian dishes and want to see more of them, quick and easy yet tasty ones. Thanks!
Love your blog!!
Happy Anniversary! Looking forward to more stories and recipes this year.
P.S. Survey done!

Oh, and I already subscribe to your newsletter, obviously!
Love your newsletter!
Took your survey, congrats on 8 years!
I love Japanese hot springs! You have such a lovely family.
Happy anniversary! =D
I filled in your survey! It was easy to understand. Can’t wait to see what new dishes you will have in store for us.
I love your idea of sending Japanese ingredients. I have been stocking my pantry with some, but I don’t have instincts for how to use them without a recipe yet. Learning! I enjoy your blog, all of it, not just the cooking.
I used to cook all American and European foods. Now I have a vacation home in Hawaii where Asian ingredients are readily available and blend well with local produce. It is fun learning about Japanese foods, customs, and culture from your cheerful stories. Learning a useful Japanese word or phrase would be fun, too. Maybe include one with each video? (beyond the name of the dish, of course)
I haven’t been here for the entire 8 years, but for several of them. Love your blog and I did the survey
I’ve grown up reading your blog and trying out the recipes! Happy birthday and congratulations on the big EIGHT! :’)
Happy 8th anniversary to JOC! The recipes are always an inspiration to cook!
Congratulations on 8 wonderful years of blogging! You and your husband have created a fantastic resource for Japanese cooking, culture and travel. Thank you for providing the “must read” blog for so many of us!

Happy 8th Anniversary! I love your site and this is my “go to” place to find traditional Japanese dishes! I have also learned from you of the differences of cooking the same dish from all the various regions of Japan (like ozoni, ramen etc).
I appreciate all of the work from you and Mr. JOC into making the videos. I look for those when preparing a dish for the first time! ❤️
I also completed the survey.
Happy Anniversary, JOC Team! Congratulations on your success. I am so glad I discovered your site and refer to it at least once a week!
I’m so happy I found your website after first returning from Japan in 2013, it helped me keep the longing for Japan(or as we would call it in German “Fernweh”) at bay! Keep up the good work!
Happy 8th Anniversary, JOC! Thank you for all of the wonderful recipes you provide. They are easy to follow and delicious!
I just completed the survey too.
Happy Anniversary!!!

Happy blog-a-versary!
Happy anniversary!
You have come to fill out a void left by About.com/Japanese food in my culinary activities.I don’t know if they are still in business, but I was a subscriber having enjoyed many of their Japanese food recipes . However, they started to send only other kinds of food recipes but not the Japanese, which were my only interest and suddenly I stopped receiving their messages. I never heard from them again. So I want to congratulate you on the success of your blog and to thank you for providing us with such authentic Nihon ryori dishes. Arigato gozai masu
HAPPY 8TH ANNIVERSARY!
Your recipes are part of our daily life. Thanks so much for helping us!

i’m excited for you to be celebrating your 8th anniversary! How exciting! Ever since I’ve been reading your blogs/ trying to make Japanese food from your recipes, it has been a dream of mine to travel to Japan. It makes me excited to think about your home recipes can ignite a desire to learn more about Japanese culture and food! Although I think the Japan trip will have to wait for me, until then I will continue to try out your recipes. Thank you for posting wonderful recipes!
Just completed the survey! Thank you for being willing enough to hear reader feedback! That takes a lot of commitment. Your posts really show how much effort you put into them, and I really appreciate it. Thank you again.

Love your website and newsletter. I found it by accident when I looked for Japanese recipes. The kids love Japan, the culture and food. Your cold noodles dish was a big hit with the family. Your curry recipes are also popular with my wife and kids. I would love to see more historical information related to each dish so I can use it as conversational topics during dinner. Thank you again.
I love waiting for your recipes. It’s an inspiration to my cooking. We had our honeymoon in Japan last year for 2 weeks. Going back this year for 3 weeks. Can’t wait. We love Japan. Thanks for the opportunity to cook better meals for me and my family. They are loving it xxx
Congratulations and happy anniversary! Will keep on supporting your blog and channels!

One more thing I thought of for question 10 in the reader survey: it might be interesting to interview / visit with other Japanese / Japanese Americans to look at variations and other cooking ideas. Might be interesting for you as well.

Hello Nami! Thank you for your work.
The site is amazing and the recipes are really good! Even though my father is a nissei and likes cooking, I’m always learning new recipes and techniques here.
Cooking is my main interest but I always end up reading some posts about the culture and specially about your trips to Japan. Hope I can go visit the country of my ancestors some day.
Have a nice 2019!
Hello! I would like to say that I really enjoy your newsletter and recipe ideas! I have started cooking a lot more last year and a friend mentioned your website with cooking videos and all and have continued coming to you for ideas : ) thank you!
We received our first Donabe bowl 2 years ago and now have 4! we love it! We actually managed to pay a visit to Iga Mono and was breathtaking – going back in time.
Wishing you continual success with enjoying what you love to do and learning from you.
Also, i LOVE your kitchen and all the storage! dream kitchen
Best,
kathy

Thank you so much for this wonderful blog – its inspired me to cook more and to make use of my instapot.

Thanks again.

I’ve been reading your blog for a while and now since I’ve been living away from my mother and need to replicate her cooking! I think using your okonomiyaki recipe makes better ones than hers—and we’re from Osaka!! Shhh please don’t tell her :O
Happy anniversary! I’ve been making your okonamaiyaki recipe for all of my family and friends (who then ask for a link!)
<3

Happy 8th Anniversary! I’m relatively new here to JOC, but I’ve loved all the dessert recipes that I’ve tried so far from JOC. They all turn out tasty! I wish you a happy new year and may you continue to have a successful journey ahead Nami san!
Will definitely continue to try out your other dessert recipes! (and maybe the cooking recipes… one day…. I’ve never really cooked before hahah xD)
Hello Nami,
I certainly relate with you about the dream to have a complete family dinner together. I think the last for my family, parents and brother’s family together might have been about 13 years ago. I hope to realize this dream sometime, just like you.
Happy New Year and all the best to you and your family.
