Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday deeeeaaaaarrrrr Mooooooooommmmmmm

Happy Birthday to you!

Went out for some awesome Chinese food and Dim Sum. Mmmm! I love my Mom. She’s great. Isn’t she purdy?

Buddha and his glorious belly.

A beautiful sunset on the way home. Had to pull over and take a shot.

Now Lisa and Sophie aren’t all that comfortable eating raw things that look otherworldly and decorative. But much to my surprise, and theirs as well I’m sure, they somehow conjured up their adventurous spirits and actually ate everything I ordered! Sushi ain’t so bad, people! I used to think it was. Even before I tried it. I automatically thought that raw fish is going to taste like, well, just that…..raw. I feared that it would taste as bad as my memory recalls it smelling. But it isn’t like that at all. It’s quite the contrary and it’s quite delicious. And once you’ve tried it and realized that it wasn’t anything like you expected, you kind of develop a liking for it, a taste for it, and even a craving. See….once your little tastebuds report to your brain that this whole sushi thing isn’t so bad, it becomes more and more enjoyable. Anyways, I’m really proud of the girls for trying and enjoying. It was just as much a treat to watch that as it was to indulge in the consumption of eating one of the worlds finest cuisines. So for all you naysayers out there, I highly suggest you going out to try sushi once again, or for the first time, with an open mind and an open mouth. IT’S SO GOOD. Now….on with the food porn. Enjoy

Very swanky and dark. Loved that wall paper, though!

Look! I even have my own brand of soy sauce!
