Good 53º scattered clouds morning.
Hi. Happy Saturday!
Breakfast again was the eggs cooked in the microwave in a
porcelain bowl with a saucer on top. Thanks Patrick! I do like the eggs better
this way than in the plastic omelette or poacher or the Egg-Tastic!
Yesterday it was gloomy and rainy and 50ºs . Rains on and off
and stopped about 1:30. Temps in the 60ºs by then. Then rain started again on
and off an into the evening. We ended up with 1/2" !

Afternoon:
Ponder these....
Why does Goofy stand
erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs!
If corn oil is made from corn, and
vegetable oil is made from vegetables,
what is baby oil made
from?
Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle,
Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?
Why did you just try singing the
two songs above?
Did you ever notice that when you blow in
a dog's face, he gets mad at you,
but when you take him for a car ride,
he sticks his head out the window?

40 wine glasses! Some I'm keeping, antiques, and some that were gifts. All kinds
of other glasses too... I told Brian I had found 40 wine glasses in the
cupboards and he said, "Good, they will go with the 40 some wine shirts you
have." !!! LOL

June 18th
International Sushi Day
Jerry had been stationed in Japan while in the Marines, at Camp Fuji http://www.fuji.marines.mil/About/History.aspx .
He learned to love Japanese food and on one of our first dates he too me to
Benihanas in Encino
The chefs perform the ancient art of Teppanyaki. With razor sharp blades
they slice through tender steak and juicy chicken. They sizzle shrimp, lobster,
and vegetables. The sushi chef will prepare fresh nigiri, sashimi, and specialty
rolls, also a flair!
After that experience I loved Japanese food and learned to make Maki-zushi
rolls (rice and ingredients wrapped in nori using a bamboo mat) with all the
things we loved ... Japanese sticky rice, cooked shrimp or raw fish, avocado,
etc.
The kids all learned to use chopsticks!
Wish we had a Benihana close, but the closest is in Beverton Oregon! Which
is a 4 hour drive, as it's just Southwest of Portland. Dang!
