18th Anniversary

Today we celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary. It went very well. Chris went to work for half a day. I went to the quilt meeting. They had a drawing for Block of the Month and I won the blocks. After the meeting, I met with Nancy, who drove us to the thrift shop where I bought a humdinger of an ironing board. Then I walked back to the apartment, where Chris was waiting for me. He had gotten me a very nice card and I was touched.
Then we walked into Itaewon where all the international restaurants are. We chose an Italian restaurant. It was very nice and it was open at 2:30 in the afternoon. Chris ordered the Burning Pizza, which was spicy, naturally. Feeling adventurous, I ordered the Abalone Viscera Spaghetti, but they were out. So I settled for the Squid Ink Spaghetti. It was the perfect Halloween dish: spaghetti in an alfredo sauce with calamari rings, all black, with a small mound of bright orange fish eggs in the center. Yummy. (The mango smoothie was good, too.) When the dish was served, I thought "I'm wearing my best top, and I've ordered a plate of ink. What's wrong with this picture?". We brought the extra home and took a picture of Michele trying it. Later we took a short walk to the local coffee shop for dessert, but they didn't have any. So we had coffee with whipped cream, a Kiwi drink, and a nice conversation.
