Although today is, in fact, our cats' birthday, this dessert was not for them. Kristin had a birthday in March, and we celebrated with a dinner at the new local steakhouse, where they have really good desserts. This one is the Chocolate Flower.

Donald and Kristin are back from our two-week trip to Japan, and more or less recovered from jet lag. After a disappointing start involving an unexpected overnight stay in San Francisco due to a canceled flight, we did arrive in Tokyo, albeit one day later than expected. We visited Tokyo, Fukuoka, Kobe, and Kyoto, and had wonderful weather for most of our vacation (high 70s or low 80s and sunny; except that it always rained when we were in Tokyo).| Mysterion

(All did not, in fact, go according to plan, and the trip now includes an unexpected overnight layover in San Francisco due to mechanical issues with the plane that was supposed to fly us to Tokyo.) We're planning to go for two weeks: the first time since our honeymoon that we've gone anywhere together for longer than a week except to attend a science fiction convention or visit fa...| Mysterion
