Meanwhile…
August 26, 2010Luckily, I had the foresight to order a few shirts online before coming to America, because I KNEW I was gonna lose my luggage. *cough* OK, it was pure coincidence, but I still got lucky there.
While I was missing my luggage, my mom had her retirement party. I was in charge of making something Mom had seen in a cookbook. Also, Michelle was showing up with a cake for me. She had been on a baking binge recently and asked what I wanted. I was looking at a new Megaman game at the time I read her inquiry, so I randomly said to make it a Megaman cake. I kinda expected a drawn out picture of the Blue Bomber using frosting. What I got was SO much cooler! She had taken these little candy-cube dealies and arranged them to recreate the 8-bit version of the guy! That. Ruled. SO much!
So below are pictures from that retirement party. First are pictures of the cake Michelle made for me. Then a nice fruit bowl, and the dealies I made. They were boiled carrots and asparagus wrapped with biscuit dough and sprinkled with parmesan cheese and oregano. Followed by the MEAT David was in charge of cooking up. Last, was the morning after. David stole my camera and snapped a picture of me while still dead to the world. Thanks, bro!
The rest of my time home was pretty relaxed. Ate, drank, hung out with family and friends. Didn’t really do anything of note, hence no more pictures…but I still loved my time home. However, when I got back to Japan, I gave myself a week to myself before going back to work. I tried to convince myself it was to fight my jet lag, but the truth was I wanted a week to myself with the PS3. I DID get out and about however!
