Saburo is Amused

Lest anyone think that I don't get any grief for taking photos of food all the time...I just received this from one of my Japan hosts. They laughed every time I got my camera out at the table, and you can see that Saburo-san thought it was pretty entertaining that I was so enamored with all the scrumptious food.

Sushi Night

Spent a wonderful evening trying out some of the goodies I brought back from Japan in a sushi-making session with friends. The shiso furikake was a big hit. Throw in miso soup, good beer & sake, and an assortment of Japanese desserts and you have a very tasty feast.

The only disappointment for the evening was that the fish my brother shipped from Hawaii didn't make it. UPS has some explaining to do, and come Tuesday I'm guessing there's going to be a very smelly package on my porch...
