DINNER pages

Today started foggy. Tony and I had our long-postponed talk, but were unable – unwilling? – to solve the problems of the world. Took lunch to Kathy and Eliana and had a lovely time with them. Sun came out. Played Bananagrams with Kathy. 

Came 'home' and had an lovely early dinner: a Caesar and Seafood Stew.

Justino, whose first career was as a professional chef at Izakaya, capably assisted by Vanessa, prepared a Japanese dinner for Jessica, Isadora, Rochelle and me: better'n out! Perfect miso soup – “you just have to be careful not to burn it.” A shiso and salmon handroll was my favorite, but they were all delicious. J & A had made a run to Uwajimaya for a full complement of ingredients.

Bernie Sanders (the cat) supervises everything.

Justino's masterpieces made nine people at dinner very happy. The serving platters – 

chicken pad thai             chicken larb

and my plate – mouseover for numbers.
