Toasting to the Snow

It's Friday and my day off finally! I did some laundry and cleaning, but mostly enjoyed planning and cooking dinner. I remembered about this rare bottle of "nigori" sake that Joe had picked up for my birthday. Though tonight's menu wasn't really Japanese, we opened it anyway, thinking its cloudy white color is quite appropriate for the first snow we just had this week. The sake was simply... exquisite. Smooth, gently sweet, easy, too easy to drink.
Menu: shrimp wantan soup, beef & mushroom stir fry in oyster sauce, jasmine rice
I was just happy to have freshly cooked white rice, though I will have to cook something Japanese to accompany the rest of the "nigori" sake this weekend.
