wabi sabi
today i went with laurie out to santa monica to visit my brother =) we got there towards the end of the farmer’s market and had some yummy quiche and just sat in the victorian watching him work and catching up on life. it was really neat just being able to hang out with the puen side of my family =) living out here in the IE i’ve been surrounded by the banaags, and i don’t normally like heading out to LA at all. but it was nice having a sunday just for them.
i was supposed to head back to loma to hang out with WOY but then my brother said i had to go to his restaurant and try his food. it’s technically not even his restaurant anymore, since he no longer works at wabi sabi, but they still serve the desserts that he created, so it was still cool. his pomegranate creme brulee was awesome! and i really hope he teaches me how to make that and also how to make the mushroom potstickers - i normally don’t eat anything mushroom, but this stuff was mmmm… so yummy!
i met my brother’s volleyball classmates mika, mariko, and kohei (but i’m not sure i’m spelling their names right...)
and we took a picture with laurie
and my brother finally came out of the restaurant to take a picture with us =) he knew everyone there and was catching up with all his friends - hostesses, waiters, bussers, and the sushi chefs… i think it’s cool that he knows everyone =) and it’s obvious that they all love him and want him to work there again. i’m glad i got to go with them and spend time with my family =)
