November 27, 2023: Snow Monkeys poised to pounce on an unlikely victory?

Well, that’s it.  It finally happened.  I accidentally replied-all when I should have sent a direct email.  Mildly embarrassing but, I suppose it could have been worse.  Much worse.

Has something similar ever happened to you?  Answered reply-all and included recipients you really wish hadn’t received your email?  Do tell.

Well, we’re almost into the Winter deep freeze and I am pleased to be leaving Canada next week, albeit for only two weeks, and only to come back in time to head to the winter wonderland that is Montreal.  Still, it’ll be nice to get away somewhere the wind shear won’t make my ears feel like they’re on fire.

Unlike previous years where I’ve booked most of the restaurants, I’ve left this year’s Tokyo/Osaka itinerary to Akemi.  So, instead of back to back to back to back Michelin-starred meals, we’ll be mixing it up – a few high-ends, a lot of casual fare, and a few open lunches and dinners where we’ll be playing it by ear.  I’m especially looking forward to any of the pistachio-themed desserts and seasonal specials they’ll be rolling out in December.  As in previous years, I’ll do my best to update my blog with my daily culinary discoveries – and occasional mishaps.

Could it be?  Are my Snow Monkeys about to pull the upset and live to fight one more week in my fantasy football Guillotine League?  All I need is 7 points from Minnesota tight end Hockenson and I’ll be duking it out in the finals next week for all the marbles!
