Ready?!

Came across this throwback pic of our very first date at Tokyo’s Michel Troisgros (pictured with Chef Lionel Beccat, now at the helm of his own tremendous restaurant, Esquisse).  How happy she looked!

Akemi claims she was probably disappointed because she was expecting the promised puppet show that never materialized.  Apparently, back then, I had – in my broken Japanese – asked her out for dinner and informed her we had reservations for 6:30.  But rather than using the term “yoyaku” (reservations) I’d said “yokyo” (stage show/pre-party).  When I’d first used the term, Akemi had asked her mother what the hell I was referring to and her mother, quite impressed, informed her that many of the high-end restaurants put on these special pre-dinner performances for their guests.

Sadly, in the end, there was no performance.  No puppet show.  Just dinner with me.

Akemi’s burgeoning herb garden.

The planter she ordered and spent the morning assembling on our balcony.

The first sprout from Akemi’s tomato seed!  She’s named him Freedo!

Hey, check it out!  Akemi made Dalgona coffeee today, that Korean-style coffee that has been all over the internet lately.  It’s milk topped with whipped instant coffee, sugar, and hot water.

So, what was the verdict?
