<span style="color: black; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">My husband star</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">ted making soba-noodle at home in the year 2010, right after he became 60 years old when he retired from his job. In this page, I want to introduce you how he does</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;"> it as his <span style="color: #660000;"><em>HOBBY</em></span><span style="color: black;"> at home</span> .

<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">We have a custom eating it as<strong><em> year-crossing noodles</em></strong> 「年越し蕎麦」. For most Japanese families, having this noodle with family member quietly at home means to greet the happy next year. There are several theories for how this custum</span></span><span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"> started like the link explains, but the most popular one would be "wishing to have a thin long happy life" </span><span style="color: #3d85c6;"> </span><a href="http://www.justhungry.com/2003/12/toshikoshi_soba.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">year-crossing noodles</span></a><span style="color: black;"> <span style="font-size: small;">(link)</span></span></span><br />

He<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> is working as a sort of an adviser for the person who wants to open soba restaurant. It was when we tasted his soba a couple years before retirement that my husband wanted to make it by himself. He lives an hour away from our house and he had visited him to learn how to do for a while. I wonder if we can call him "soba-master" in English, 「蕎麦の師匠. そばのししょう. sobano shisho」in Japanese.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">The other day, my aunt and cousin visited our house with my lovely secound cousin.My cousin's daughter wished to try Soba-Uchi when she heard she could from her mother. (Haha, hubby loves having these guests; which quite surprised me as we hadn't had much guests until he retired)<br />I was really happy to see that she truly enjoyed herself and seemed to find her first experience quite fascinating. Also, my husband said that she caught on fast; she was <span style="background-color: white; text-align: -webkit-auto;">playing a scale with saxophone after a little while of practicing.</span></span></div>

Main purpose of the group is to enjoy the holidays </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">together. And she kindly coordinated today's gathering at our house. She has </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">beautiful voice and quite a talented singer as well. It was amazing that one of the songs they sang with her today was along with </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">sign language. Obviously, they involved with many activities.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When she tol</span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">d my husband about her plan and accepted it, I was kind of perplexed because of the numbers of the guests. Yes, as you can see from the pictures, my tiny house was really congested, haha.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My husband's young ex-lady-colleague had been wishing to try making Soba noodle. I doubted that his one year experience would be eligible to show how or instruct someone. However we all had a nice rewarding day together.</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">She and her family graciously praised his noodle when they tasted it before and she wanted to see how he does and try at least once. It was </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">a pleasant surprise for me that a young lady like her (almost our daughter's age if we had) had an urge to try a kind of traditional noodle making. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: large;">We both were amazed her enthusiastic manner and she did a splendid job. She seemed surprised to know so many steps we had to go through to enjoy it. Especially cutting part was the hardest, she said for my enquiry after that. Pictures were just part of the process. As I had already posted how soba was made <a href="http://orchidenglishblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/way-how-soba-buckwheat-noodle-made.html">before</a>, I feel a bit sorry for my friends reading this post. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: large;">After enjoying soba lunch, my husband wished her to listen to his saxophone. Well, looking hubby enjoying guest; I was grateful for her visiting us and gave us happy and refreshing time for a change. Personally, I was happy that she looked intrigued with my blog and had no offense being posted in here.</span><br />
