Potato gnocchi with shrimp and peas

I am world-renowned for my ability to get dangerously lost
when driving, but my condition has been in check for the past few years thanks
to GPS. Unfortunately, yesterday I had a
relapse on the way to a Junior Club meeting in Honolulu when I made the fatal error of
inputting the wrong address. Worst of
all, I dragged my sweet friend down with me.
She sacrificed getting in to the meeting on time for directing me via
cell phone to where I needed to be. Half
an hour later I was still lost and we both decided it’d be best if I pulled
over while she came to get me. The
meeting was nearly over at this point. So
I made it up to my friend in the only way I know how by buying her an early dinner
at my favorite sushi
restaurant
, which was serendipitously right by the spot where I pulled
over. Because it was an impromptu meal,
I didn’t have my camera on hand, but you’ve
seen
what Sushi Sasabune has to offer.
Absolute heaven on a plate.

Once
I got home, I still had all the ingredients for the potato gnocchi with shrimp and peas I planned to make. Since Lloyd hadn’t eaten I whipped it up and
ended up eating a small plate myself as a late night snack. The creamy peas and dumplings were a nice
contrast to the firm shrimp. I also
tossed in a few sliced mushrooms (leftover from pizza night), which were a
welcome addition.

Tonight
is our first night of photography class.
The goal is to understand our new camera. Or at least understand how not to break it, which
I’ve done multiple times now and could only fix by completely resetting it. Right after class, we’re headed to the
airport for California
wedding weekend number two!
