Happy Saturday!

Well, let's see. Waking up at 8-8:30 and forcing myself out of the house at 9 wasn't the most amazing part of it but whatever. Shopping for food in 6 different locations for ingredients as widely varied as wonton skins, lamb shanks, BC spot prawns, morbier cheese, fresh dungeness crab meat, and panir certainly makes up for that

However, I would give myself a D/F for planning because I didn't do everything I planned to.

no need for false modesty here. this all sounds awesome.

i want all of these, esp. 3 and 4. i meant to tell you that we had the wine you gave kate along with 7-course omakase at an amazing byob sushi place in portland, or. we were all raving about the wine - it was so so good! i took careful note about what it was called, but now have completely forgotten. that always happens to me.

I have to say that it seems awfully rude that others didn't set some of everything aside for you, given all the time (9 hours!) you put into what you did. I obviously don't know the full circumstances here, though. But it sounds like without your hard work and shopping (for which I hope you got compensated, either directly or by the contributions of others), there would have been no party, or at least no big 8-course dinner.
