Friday night brought us some great news at the end of a very long, sad week. Tuesday was the classic bad news comes in threes day - I was sick with allergies or sinus problems (not sure which) with a sore throat and no voice and so home using a sick day. I found out through the grapevine that my job position had been eliminated for next year, so I am now out of a job. The biggest piece of bad news was the loss of a very good friend of Gerry's and mine. This is a friend we talked to on a weekly basis, who remembered our birthdays with a phone call always and was at our dinner table at Thanksgiving. It was way too soon to lose him. We had drinks on Friday evening with Curt's brothers who had flown in from Seattle and shared lots of memories both ways.
Earlier in the afternoon, Andrew had visited both Gerry and me to ask for our daughter's hand in marriage and show us the engagement ring. This was the bright spot in a rather depressing week. We are excited beyond belief about this latest addition to our family!
We ended the evening after Curt's family left, by going out for sushi at our favorite: Sushi Awaji. The absolute best sushi and rolls always! And so I now look forward to planning another wedding. Life is good!
I thought it would be fun to share my thoughts and favorite food tidbits with everyone using this medium. I love exploring different techniques and ingredients from around the world.
