did the babylonians have day-glo?

tony prepares to make a wish on his ziggurat of neon brownies and beautiful rose cake. (candles not indicative of age.) ziggurat by "Gresham" (as Willie was calling her.. yes, to her face) and rose cake by Joaquin.

here's a better picture of the rose cake.

in which i fillet a fish. ew.

okay, so technically i am writing this on the next day, but as gregory had a post where he hadn't yet been to bed, i can do so too.

on thursday i found a moment to myself, so i went across the street to the asian market for some groceries. i decided to buy a whole fish and cook it. i've never done this before, so i didn't really know what i was doing. luckily the fish was already dressed, but i did have to fillet it. i thought that i had to cut the head off before filleting, so i did. it was disturbing. but also not.

all in all, i bought a $2.78 fish and got two fat fillets off of it. i steamed them in the bamboo steamers in a sauce of soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger and rice vinegar. it was delicious!

so that's my post for the day.

today was filled with a good friend from out of town, the dog park, and a friend's birthday party. amazing.
