Fw: [MC74 and Friends] Theme : Tasting pleasures



-Dear EmCi,

MC noi kheo qua, kie^'n AM trong hang cu~ng pha?i bo` ra :)

To comply with your ultra soft and gentle (it  sounds  more like your eyes :)) than  Downy ) reminder, here are my entries , both from my trip last week to Columbus, OH to visit my daughter during her clinical rotation there .

1. " Dinner of a Dutch Merchant" , stolen from the  modest collection of the Columbus Museum of Art . I thought that the abundance of seafood ( the red lobster in all its glory :) was unusual for a European meal in the 18th-19th century but nonetheless the opulence of the meal would be very pleasurable, especially to a glutton like myself :)

2.  "Ahi Tuna Wonton", a  delicious  appetizer at Eddie Morton's restaurant , something unexpected for a Californian like myself to find in a mid-west restaurant, very light and tasty with a taste of wasabi mixed with terriyaki sauce. I am hoping your twin BT will replicate it and post the recipe on her food blog for our enjoyment :)

The quality of the pictures has a lot to desire, my camera being from" mot ngan chin tram ca? co^. " :) and I am a terrible photographer, having no understanding on light, nor motion nor speed nor shutter ....etc..  
Please feel free to disqualify them, I am just trying to show my goodwill  in response to MC's ultra soft and gentle reminder :)
