Today we headed down to the Ikedas’ for a small get together. As usual there was way too much food. By the way, Baker liked my manly scent.

Nihonmachi
Today we picked up Tawny and drove to Japantown to checkout Nihonmachi. We ate like pigs and of course I had to buy some more mochi!
Asena II

Mary Ann @ Kalesa
Mary Ann (Bunny) wuz in town so we met her at Kalesa in Milpitas for lunch. Now we just ate at Gerry’s on Friday so it’s been a Filipino food marathon. I have acquired a taste for pork sisig and refuse to go to a Filipino restaurant that doesn’t serve it.

I bought Sandy a blueberry plant and never took it out of the original pot thinking I would kill it. Today we got 1 whole blueberry. I am the man!
Mochi
While at the Tofu Festival yesterday I purchased a box of Harajuku Mochi Chocolat. This was based purely on its description–strawberry filled mochi with a dusting of chocolate. It looks like horse turds, but man this is a good find…
