Thanks again for the thoughts and wishes! It was otherwise a somewhat uneventful day, but I did get a nice card from my friend Julie, who forgot all about me last year on my big birthday. I should be getting together with her again soon, however. My sister sent me a package with some nice kitchen presents, and I'll try to photograph those this week-end. She's getting better at understanding what I like, and what she sent was very cute. We did end up going to the Thai restaurant and had the Royal Golden Baskets for appetizer - one of our favorites - but they were out of the Curry Fish Cake. The baskets come empty with the fillings on the side and are perfectly bite-sized. Kevin had Pad Thai, and I had Jungle Curry with beef. I ordered that because it has Thai eggplant in it and no coconut milk. I also ordered crab fried rice because they are generous with the crab, and I didn't know that my dish came with steamed rice. We took most of the crab fried rice home with us. The best thing about this birthday is that my Chinese curse is now over! According to a Chinese palmist, my life line supposedly ends at age 60, although he did tell me that European palms are different from Chinese, and so I might now die then. I guess I need a new reading now. Lars

It looks like I'm going to be freezing a lot of my lemons, as my tree is pretty much loaded at this point, and it won't be later in the year. I freeze the lemons whole and then defrost them in 10 second intervals in the MW - practically as good a fresh, but they do get a bit softer, which is great for limes, a bit less so for lemons, as it makes it a bit more difficult to zest. Nice to know that you are a fellow designer, Sleevendog! At one time I had hoped to be a set designer, and when I first moved to L.A., I was across the street from what had been MGM studios in Culver City, and I could see the MGM lion on top of one of their buildings from my kitchen window. It was no longer MGM by then, but the lion was still there, although it has been missing for some time. Kevin works there now and it is Sony Studios, but he unfortunately is not in any of the design positions. When I was a clothing designer in San Francisco, I also designed and made costumes for the stage, but never for movies. I will try to check out all of the stores recommended - I really should replace an office chair at home as well, now that I see more interesting options. I really wish I could get some of the dining chairs I designed for my house - or at least an occasional chair, but they would have to give me a deep discount. Thanks for your comment, Sally - that really makes me feel better! Sometimes I do not feel appreciated at work, except from my boss. If I get new chairs, I'll post photos, one way or another!

Lars’ Birthday and Full Moon!

Greetings on or near your birthday, Lars. Considering your great variety of experiences, capabilities and interests, and having visited so many places, I hope you'll offer a gift to yourself of remembering various of them on this day and being thankful for your good fortune in having done so. How fortunate we are to live in a part of the world where such privileges are available to so many, as I'm sure you've noted as you've lived and travelled . Let us be thankful for that, and to make efforts not only to preserve them in our society, but to mke some efforts to have people in parts of the world who watch the same full moon ... but lack these privileges to be given opportunities to develop them. Sorry to be so preachy on your birthday, Lars, but you've impressed me as being a person of good will and I appreciate that. Hope you're having an impressive, delightful and memorable birthday, Lars, and good wishes through the challenging days of the coming year. ole joyful

Thanks, Ann, and everyone! We started yesterday with brunch at a new Vietnamese restaurant in Culver City, half a block from where Kevin works. I had a crispy crepe made with rice flour that was filled with crab and mushrooms and served with lettuce, for eating as a lettuce wrap. Kevin's meal came with a pork roll, which he gave to me, since he doesn't eat pork. I will definitely be going back to this place, but Kevin will probably go often, since it is so close to his work.

Today we are going to Paiche Restaurant in MDR for Peruvian Izakaya food. We've been there several times, including for our sister's birthday last year, and it is one of my favorite places.

We have to go soon, since brunch ends at 2:30, but I will report back later.

Thanks again for your wishes!

Here's a link to my birthday brunch, although I cannot get Photobucket to get the order right.

This was my favorite dish - the tuna cerviche, although it looks like sashimi. The sauce for this is very intriguing, and I am going to try to make it. I know it has yuzu, wasabi, yellow chilies, and possibly garlic in it. I have several yuzu fruits on my tree, and I will start experimenting with those. I also have bottled yuzu juice that I bought at my local Japanese market, in case I need more. The yuzu fruits do not have much juice, and so I may have to use some of the zest. I will freeze whatever rinds I do not use, as I will not get more yuzu until next year.

That works, thanks! A shame the cauliflower was bland, I love cauliflower. The Ensalada Rusa looks really interesting too, not really what I think of when I think "Russian Salad". The shrimp and crab look especially yummy. Lucky you!

Lars, I hope your day was amped by your family, friends and good food.

Happy belated birthday to a (consistently) kind man!

Belated best birthday wishes from here, too. Was celebrating DS2's birthday!
Lars

Thanks for the belated wishes as well - I guess I got my last birthday present today, which was a new crown for one of my teeth!

Sol, my family was good to me this year - Kevin got me a book that I like very much, and my sister sent me a package that arrived yesterday, thus prolonging my BD a bit.

KD, was your son's birthday the same day as mine? I know that Sooz was celebrating someone's birthday last week-end also, but she did not say whose. I have had a lot of friends with birthdays right around mine, and Kevin's is exactly three weeks after mine (except on leap years), and we are planning to go to Palm Springs for that.

Colleen, "Russian Salad" was more like a Salad NiÃÂ§oise, in that it had potatoes, green beans, tuna, HB egg, etc. but it had a different dressing on it.

All in all, I did have a very happy birthday. Last year my birthday was the first one I had had after my parents passed away. My birthday was also their anniversary, and so it was rather sad - so we went to Death Valley. Here's a picture of me on my previous birthday in an abandoned building in Leadville (ghost town) DV.

Happy birthday, belatedly!

How was that tuna ceviche done? Without changing the color and opacity of the fish?

I was away over the weekend, so I missed this. I'm glad you had a wonderful birthday, Lars. I'll go ahead and wish you belatedly a happy birthday anyway.
