What a beautiful, relaxing backyard. I brought up an Adirondack chair from DaBasement and sit in DaMomInLaw's backyard in the shade and just listen and watch the animules - birds, butterflies, buns (2 adult and 2 juvenile delinquents), the nextdoor junkyard dawg, fireflies, and squirrels.
Thankfully, the smoke bomb has permanently relocated the dammpt groundhog in DaGarten.
It's amazing - zero mosquitoes this year. That's ... I can't remember when that has ever been the case. It makes the twilights and evenings nice though.
DaSquaw and I (or, for those who have lossed their munny in the MYEC obvious scam, 'me and DaSquaw') went ~OUTT to that kickass Japanese joynt with great sushi/sashimi plus all other kinds of Japanese fare. It was packed, and even with reservations we had a 15 minute wait. They have five sushi chefs behind the sushi bar - nott a one of them speaks more than a dozen or so words of Engrish - they are right off the JAL flight. Plus there is the rest of the kitchen hidden away. The waitstaff speaks a pidgin Engrish butt the heavy accent means you need to ask them to repeat themselves and speak slowly so you can unnerstan them.
We gott six handrolls, a cocktail for DaSquaw and a Sapporo for moi. Excellent - as good as any sushi I've had in Cali, NYC, or Tokyo. They really need to double or triple the size of the place to match the demand, and hire more sushi chefs - we waited a solid 20 minutes from first order to first rolls. This smallish city has a lott of peeps with decent incomes (the unemployment rate is about 1 percent) and they want to eat ~OUTT at good places and are willing to pay for it. The Japanese people who opened this place must be making a shit-ton of munny - prolly better after-tax than if they had a shop in the Marunouchi in Tokyo. I wonder how the chefs and waitstaff gett along in this smallish city though, as I doubt anyone besides them speaks Japanese. And their Engrish is "nott so good".
