Today, I tried washi paper, some weird old Japanese paper, and double-sided foil paper. Also, gave some boxes away at our Asylum Sisters Mother’s Day Lunch. Think a trip to Japan may be in order to acquire more origami paper. Or at least to a Daiso Store somewhere. (Daiso is sort of a Japanese dollar store.)
It was a fine Mother’s Day lunch. Our group had steak, salmon, and a vegetarian offering (ravioli). We all approved of the food. And, people at the next table seemed to be enjoying the duck. Of course, the wine might have helped. And, I am sure that the good company improved the food.
Then dessert. I guess the kitchen didn’t read the directions on the box that they got the mousse out of. The directions saying, “Defrost for 2 hours in the fridge”. You couldn’t hammer your fork into it. But, they brought us properly defrosted petite fours. And, we took the chocolate mousse home. Guess what I’ll be having for dinner tonight?
BTW: Last week was “Fat Week”. I ate everything in sight. Wagu burgers, salads with handfuls of candied pecans and blue cheese, eggs florentine, bacon, tacos, also beers, and wine. And desserts. I declared it “Fat Week” last Friday and stretched it into “Fat 10 Days”. Moderation only leads to long life.
