So today i woke up nice and late with red wine hangover that i honestly thought might kill me. I`m old and don`t drink much anymore. Hangovers serve a good reminder of why that is. Last night was Megumi`s birthday party (her actual birthday is on the 15th - same as Michelle Culligan) so Ulala and i went over to Emi`s house for a pot-luck dinner and celebration. We brought curry-beef stuffed tomatoes, which i made. Then there was much imbibing of red wine. I am very happy to report that you can buy Argentine Malbec (only one maker, though) at my local supermarket and Chilean Cabernet at the convenience store. Wonderful! But as many wiser than i have pointed out, "just because you can doesn`t mean you should." Thank you to Emi and Matt for a great time. They are excellent hosts. Last night was a lot of fun. This afternoon, on the other hand, not so much. Overall it was very much like something out of Black`s Books. Here are some photos from the fun part:
We made gyoza!

Megumi and Ulala. I honestly don`t know if they`re singing or going to kiss the weird little character.
