Our first week back

Has involved catching up with our cute pigs. We missed them terribly. A big thank you to C&J for taking care of them and giving them lots of cuddles.

It also involved our first experience with caviar. A few weeks ago I did a favor for someone at work that was travelling to Azerbaijan on a business trip so he brought me back some Azeri caviar. I was scared of those tiny black eggs even though I've eaten plenty of fish eggs here in Japan.

To make a night out of it, we headed to C&J's place for a Russia themed night and man did we feast - Chicken Kiev, creamy cheesey mushrooms, mashed potatos, champagne, caviar, white russians and all the Russian music you can imagine. So we braced ourselves for the caviar tasting and made sure we had some cream cheese on hand (we heard it complements the taste of the caviar). It turns out that we all LOVE caviar. We are totally prepared for high society.

We also spent time enjoying our park and the autumn leaves. It sucks how they've stopped people having fleamarkets on the weekend by the way. Mitaka city - stop trying to take the impromptu fun out of Inokashira Park!!!

oh and here are my jaywalkers! I finished them with a light pink yarn and they are still cute, cute, cute. Not so mutant like at all.

i LOVE the jaywalkers! seriously, i really dig fraternal twin socks. when they are too much alike, they are just boring in my opinion.

What a beautiful day! And hey, your socks look GREAT. I like how they are different. I've never tried caviar, but is it like eating tobiko? Kind of?

GUINEA PIGS!!! I've been beggin my hubby for a guinea pig recently. I think I just need to get him to hold one and it'll close the deal ;P Anyways, they're cuties, and the socks are wonderful. You can never go wrong with pink, but you obviously already know that :)
