June 19, 2017 Lunch – Azuma. Dinner – PPIs

June 19, 2017 Lunch – Azuma. Dinner – PPIs

A rather sporadic day of food.  I ate a bagel and then rode to Campbell Rd. against a pretty strong headwind.  I consider myself a recreational bike rider, which means I do not overly tax my body pushing hard into heavy headwinds.  Instead I try to enjoy the exercise of riding as much as possible.  One interesting thing did occur on this morning’s ride a huge cottonwood fell across the bike path just north of the botanic gardens that had to be circumnavigated.

When I returned home I showered and then met with Bill Turner and Sally, and then went to a podiatrist appointment at 11:00.

After the appointment I drove to Trader Joe’s and bought 11 bottles of wine and a bottle of cognac.  The 2016 Crayon rose’ has finally arrived, so I bought two bottles of that, plus a Brunello di Montalcino, a Chablis, a bottle of Amontillado sherry, two bottles of Ferme Julien rose, and the rest were the usual suspects.  Dollar for dollar, Trader Joe’s offers the best wines for the best prices in Albuquerque.

I then met Willy at Azuma for lunch.  He ordered his favorite Japanese dish, Sukiyaki beef from the teppan grill.  I remember his birthdays when he was young, when we would get a group of his friends and go to Samurai and sit around a teppan grill and order lunches for him and his friends.

Here is the Chirashi Donburi I ordered and a picture of Willy waiting for his teppan lunch.



Suzette came home feeling sick at 5:00 and rested in front of the TV while I met with Aaron about the Romanian wine business.

At 6:30 when I finished my meeting she was still sleeping, so I heated the PPI spinach and eggplant lasagna from Friday’s lunch at Mario’s and ate that.

Then I asked her if she wanted to split the PPI Chirashi Donburi.

I divided the Sashimi and we ate it as a light dinner.

We watched the Antiques Roadshows, which included the 2002 Albuquerque edition.

I was still hungry, so I ate a few bites of tabouli and then a few bites of clafoutis.



Then we went to bed.

A rather uneventful day, food wise.

Bon Appetit
