Merry Christmas!

I'm grateful for how we can celebrate Christmas as usual. My husband and I lived away before we got married, so it was difficult to spend time together on Christmas day or Eve. We both worked in full-time and our day offs were different. Therefore, I feel happy to cook what we both can enjoy.

I was able to bake pizza for dinner this year. The toppings and pizza dough are not so different from how I often bake.

The dough is mixed with rice flour and bread flour. The ratio of rice flour to bread flour is 6 to 4. I use more rice flour because it's better for my health condition. It might be much better if I could use only rice flour. However, it's difficult to make same kind of texture as using cake flour and bread flour. So, my way of baking pizza is this way for now.

We ordered a Christmas cake at the new cake shop nearby this year. It was our first time to make a reservation for Christmas.

We had a calm and happy time together today. It's great that we can spend time each year like this.

There are people who can't spend a happy time around the world. I pray for peace of the world. I feel grateful for what I have now and hope the coming year will be a better year for everyone.

I wish you all Merry Christmas.
