Lash in San Francisco

[mousepod]

Quick update: Snowflake was unable to make it on Friday, but Heather and I finally got to meet the fellas for dinner at Ebisu. What wonderful guys! The advance reviews were all true. We had a wonderful meal and even better conversation. Sashimi, sukiyaki, tempura, katsu and more were consumed, and much sake and plum wine was poured (and a coca-cola for mousepod, thank you). Coffee and dessert around the corner at Tart to Tart. Finally, a drive downtown via a late-night stop at the top of Twin Peaks for a view of the city.

Saturday was Greg's birthday (happy birthday LashStoat!) and we met them at the Farmer's Market in the Ferry Building for a gastronomic delight. Fresh breads, cheeses, chocolate and sausage (yes, there were double entendres a-plenty)... it was a delight. We sat down to eat and were engaged in conversation by a delightful woman who wanted to talk about Japan, ebay and Christmas-tree lights. She was impressed that people from opposite sides of the world can become friends through the internet. We encouraged her to buy a computer.

We left them early in the afternoon so they could get ready for Beach Blanket Babylon. Hopefully, we'll be dining with them again later in the week...
