Potluck party

The organizer of book club invited me for potluck party
held at her condo on May 4. There were about 20 people
gathered at party, coworkers of organizer, members of
book club.


Food was great. It's a shame that I could not take good
picture with my mobile camera. I prepared gyoza and
bought kashiwa-mochi (sweet for children day). We ate
omusubi (by Australian ), guakamole and cake(By British)
fried fish ball (American?).

Party was enjoyable. We had very pleasant holiday.
