Sushi To The Max

Continuing with the happenings from my recent girl's trip, I want to share some highlights from a "theme" night supper.

Sheila, Vicki, Sandi and Ms. Iowa volunteered to host theme night this year.

The title was

"Sushi, to the max!"

Dinner attire: Maxi Dress.

(Wikipedia:A Maxi dress is a floor or ankle length informal dress. Maxi dresses are formfitting at the top and loose flowing at the bottom, cut to flow over ...)

Sushi and a maxi dress = Sushi to the max!

Is that clever or what?

The title was the brain child of Sheila.

She is the ultimate, theme night aficionado.

Often imitated, but never, ever duplicated.

No detail of the table presentation went unnoticed.

Irresistible little wasabi and soy sauce tray's.

Paper Lanterns.

The dining chairs were dressed for the night.

Delicate bird shaped, chop sticks holders.

Oh my.

Authentic Japanese pouches, directly from Japan,

holding napkins and chopsticks, graced each place setting.

Every seat had it's own sense of personality.

An impressive tablescape.

When I first laid eyes on the presentation,

then heard how the items were acquired,

I thought about the depths of their friendship

and the extraordinary things they do

to make us feel special.

Me and sushi, we will never be the same.

A special thanks to Vicki's Mom, Beth, for the use of her Japanese items, which she acquired through her relationship with a Japanese Sister City.
