Yesterday Kuniko had the afternoon off of work, so she cooked dinner for us. She made an asparagus and bacon pasta with white sauce and hit it out of the park. I was going to make this dish the other night, but we ended up going to Swaad for dinner. I think she did a much better job on the white sauce than I could have done.
Tonight after work I’m meeting one of the inspectors from the factory for the first time in a long time. We’re going to the usual tachinomi for a couple of beers and to catch up. We’re both starting to be short-timers around work. I’m always a short-timer around the end of my current contract (which ends in March) and as production winds down on his project he’ll get ready to move to the USA for a year or so to manage the mass production of the project. So I think our opportunities for meeting up are getting fewer and fewer.
Last night while walking home after work it started snowing. This was my first snow of the season, and as usual, it was pretty surreal for a guy from California. Luckily it didn’t last very long, and melted as soon as it hit the ground. It’ll be interesting to see what the weather is today…
