the food post

its my birthday month

i may not be able

 to

 process

 how many 

years

 are involved

 i can

 and

 do

 embrace

 being

 celebrated

 feted

gifted

 for a whole month

 sounds pretty selfish

 you say

 a tad self indulgent

 well

 february is a short month

  sunday

 after my mani/pedi at polished

 essie little brown dress topped with some coppery glitter

 my sister silesq

 and

 my sis judy

took me to lunch

 at 

fusha

 a wonderful asian restaurant

 amsterdam and 75th street 

offers 

sushi

 sashimi

 thai 

and

 variations

 of 

each cuisine 

we indulged

 ordering

 a lot of appetizers

i didnt

 get a shot 

of 

 grilled eggplant spears with a spicy hot dipping sauce

 or 

the leafy vietnamese spring rolls 

or

 the crispy little fried vegetable rolls

  because

 i was so busy eating

 i forgot 

midway

 through

 the perfectly quick fried calamari 

i remembered

though looking like onion rings 

these calmari were perfect

i dont use sauce with my calamari

you cant improve on perfection

so i cant tell you what it was

 papaya salad 

we had two orders of this

 it was so fresh crisp

delish

tuna tartar 

nori wasabi chips

and guacamole 

 spicy tuna taco 

topped with avocado 

tasted amazing

 looked more like pizza wedges

 lemon sorbet 

served

 in the lemon

 surrounded

 by whipped creme

 sooo perfect after all that fish and spice

judy had tea 

it smelled so good

 i love the little tea pot

 its just like one 

in 

my small

 but

 growing

collection

this post

 is dedicated 

to someone who should have been at lunch with us

who would have loved this post

for 

wendy 

much missed
