lydamorehouse In case you're following the School for Wayward Demons as it comes to press, we had another installment yesterday "The F.U. Cake":

Things are starting to get interesting at the School, so you don't want to miss any installments.
In other news, my Japanese class had a dinner out at Tanpopo last night. I had the Age-Dashi Tofu appetizer, and, because it was a blustery winter night, the Nabeyaki Udon, which is a kind of hot-pot stew that comes in a clay pot with (in this case) fish cakes, chicken, mushrooms, hrimp tempura, tamagoyaki (the rolled omelet thing I've only ever before written about!) and, as advertised, udon noodles. I had a weird kind of flush of pride when I realized that the instructor and I had ordered the same thing. Made me feel like I was making good choices, you know? I also had edamame mochi for desert, which was terrific, though not a lot of people liked it because it is green bean paste inside a kind of rubbery rice wrapping. I'm a big fan of any kind of bean paste, though, so I was very happy.
The only bummer was that our friends the Jacksons had shown up about an hour before I had to take off for the dinner so I missed out on all the initial catching up. Luckily, they'll be around for the whole Thanksgiving holiday, so I'm sure I'll hear all the news eventually.
The only other thing to report is that Mason has another date! The young lady friend called up and asked him out to a movie, so he'll be headed out on Friday to go watch Mockingjay with her! (So adorbs!)
