Fit for a shogun master

BLAHBLAHBLAH visited me this weekend from Madison, WI. Other than being adorably humpy, he’s an amazing Japanese cook!

Here the man is whipping us up several of the four courses he made us for dinner.

He is a genious in the kitchen. I didn’t know until today that he spent two years living in Japan, which makes perfect sense considering that he whipped up Gyoza, Zaru Soba, Tempura Shrimp, Tempura Green Beans, Tempura Sweet Potato(e), Tempura Shiso and a seaweed salad in no time at all, while I sat in the next room on the couch taking long glances at his cute butt, watching “Mystic River“.

The spread.

After shopping for the ingredients for dinner, and stocking up on my oolong and green teas (brewed by Kirin and Asahi), we made a quick 2 hour dash into the city to look into replacing my iBook with a new model (sans coffee). The traffic was horrible. You’d think I’d have learned by now NOT to hit Michigan Avenue on a warm weekend day. I ordered my iBook and should have it within five business days.

In other news, Annonymous Padre made it home safely after another of his jet-set weekend trips. This time he at least stayed long enough for us to spend some time catching up. Oh, and he’ll be back Wednesday for more.

I’m beat, so I’m off to bed.
