lathanyLast week we celebrated our wedding anniversary. For the first time, we did so with the twins and everyone was involved in the cooking. I even tidied in the dining room beforehand for the first time in ages.
Starter was little savoury tarts, the main course was steak (which the twins were not fond of) and dessert were pots of banana and black treacle. We had a red Rioja (Gran Reserva) with it.
Also recently, we finished season 2 of The Wire. I thought that the dockers were interesting and I liked the new characters (particularly Beadie). However, the series suffered from wanting to keep the old favourites without really having a role for many of them. Still very watchable though and a very interesting and sympathetic portrayal of the dockers and particularly the Sobotka family.
It's been pretty quiet on the roleplaying front, although we did have a session of Folded Edge. We found the rebel fleet of Lassiter Drives (or, at least, we think it's the rebels) and we seem to be heavily involved in the grand plot. Except... we'd rather not be. The party has divided sympathies and this is somewhat paralysing as joining either side of the war seems bad.

chrestomancy, venta and I went out for dinner and a few drinks. venta suggested Abeno for food and I loved it. We shared the World Cup Okonomi-yaki ("'Okonomi-yakis' are variations on a theme, the theme being a base of cabbage, egg and dough with spring onions, ginger and morsels of 'tempura' batter"; the toppings included asparagus, bacon, mushrooms and a fried egg) which they cooked at the table. It was slightly tricky to divide in two (said the person who watched), but very yummy. We followed it up with desserts. I had Yokohama Sundae ("Coffee Jelly, Coffee Ice-Cream, Cinnamon Ice-Cream and more in this suffusion of sensations!") and venta chose Arashiyama-An ("A Japanese garden of a dessert - Green Tea Ice-Cream, Adzuki Beans, Fruit, sweet Rice Dumplings doughnuts - landscaped with Cream. Meditate on your indulgence!"). Thoroughly recommended.
