We planted this Japanese cherry blossom last year and this is its second flowering. Last year Gail took a great shot of it (it's in the blog archives for April last year) and we talked then about trying to have a Japanese day next time it flowered.
Gail had a few days off so we invited David and Carolyn, Jon and Kylie over for sushi, sashimi, tonkatsu, terriyaki, ebi fry, and a good time. Mission was achieved it was a fantastic lunch, perfect sunny day, lots of great banter and chat, the food was fantastic and the wine lasted right through the 11 hour lunch.
As Jon pointed out though, there was no cheese.
First time ever.
Truth be told there was cheese but no one was up to eating another thing.
Gail did a marvelous catering job,
we could have hosted twice the number of people,
with bigger appetites,
for a week.
