Gaye and I are trying to decide what to get for some of the kids for their Christmas gifts. Gaye had determined that Ben would like to have some equipment and supplies to tryout Sushi-making. Well, that stuff is just not the normal Dollar Store stuff that we would usually have gotten for Ben (our kids are SO abused!) so we finally decided to head to World Market. WOW! This place is Humongous! It has who isles labeled (in English, fortunately) for each nationality they cover. We eventually find the right Japanese food isle and begin to gather the dried seaweed, cans of stuff to go into the sushi, bags of rice (hope we got the right kind because there is like thirty different kinds), sushi roller mats and tools of some kind or other. It was so much fun exploring this place. There was stuff that had absolutely no English on them at all.
Then we are checking out and Gaye, being a curious person, just has to ask the woman in front of us about something that she was buying. We had a great conversation about it and how she and her husband met (he was an LDS missionary in Taiwan and met her there.) They were a lot of fun to talk to.
Then it was off to dinner at Bishop Tyler's home. She got out all of her finest stuff for us and set this magnificent table, as you can see. This was only topped by the food.
Before we sat up to the table there was shrimp cocktails and crab dip. For dinner, Vicki Nelson had brought her famous rolls (yum) and we began with those and a magnificent salad (yum, yum!) Then there was the main course - Prime rib, perfectly cooked for each of us with dill potatoes and asparagus. Then, for dessert there was plum pudding with a white glaze on top.
Oh! I was so well fed - it was simply magnificent!
