I guess I need to work on my sarcasm then. Oh well, live and learn I spose.

I've done this long ago in Germany. I love Japanese food. My friends took me to this tiny Japanese place when I was in New York, the food was absolutely amazing.

lucienne if you are looking for a DC metro area delicacy might i recommend you try MY DICK

small portion size

[Lucienne]

lol

[Ivve]

fun size etc

[Ivve]

also, what the fuck, key lime shit is amazing. then again all my favorite flavors are tart/citrus, so lime anything is pretty much going to be eaten

[Lucienne]

All the lime/lemon whatever citrus desserts are amazing indeed. We don't really make that much in Sweden sadly.

[Ivve]

i thought your country was supposed to be better. how could you be so inferior in this respect?

[Lucienne]

Inferior weather settings and such.
We can't grow ripe citrus fruit.

[Ivve]

i'm pretty sure we can't do that shit year round either, but there's always a big heaping table of oranges every time i go to the store. maybe they should up their lab game, pretty sure this shit is engineered.

I think desserts just go way back. Considering most our desserts are based on apples or berries, I'm pretty sure that's just traditionally what there was. In comparison, Czech Republic uses whole lot more nuts cherries in their desserts.

every pie in sweden has fish and potato

probably has that weird ass milk yogurt you guys make too, don't lie!

is that on convoy or mira mesa?

convoy, which is only like 2 exits south of mira mesa. It's my fav, but the parking there fucking sucks ass.

my mother in law makes these awesome lime/lemon "cheesecakes" (not sure what else to call them, but basically a cheesecake crust with a lime or lemon pudding center with whipped cream, she makes it in a baking dish rather than pie form). If I managed to get the recipe from her I'll send it your way.

Both versions are awesome.

[Lucienne]

Ken's grandmother makes something like that. She also makes a lemon meringue pie which is amazing.

Ksan, since I'm already using you as food advice, what do I wear to a rehearsal dinner? I found out few days ago that I was invited as well, and I just assumed it wasn't anything formal. Then I saw the place today when we were helping out with some tables, and well, it's in a Victorian mansion by a lake. I do have enough dresses, so I'm thinking just a simple black one with a dressy sweater so I won't freeze. Also, I bought those wonderful Manolos in New York that I want to wear to the wedding, and I don't really have any other decent low heeled shoes. Is it acceptable to wear the same shoes if everything else is different? You Americans and your foreign traditions!

Btw, I got the stockings you recommended me a while back.

[Ksandra]

honestly, I don't think anyone pays attention if you repeat shoes. Especially since you came from out of the country you can't be expected to bring like 15 pairs with you. So don't stress on that part.

Rehearsal dinners have no "code". If it's a nice place, dress nicely. So your black dress with a sweater will be fine, there's no like color shit to worry about unlike the wedding.


Oddly enough, I'm going to a wedding this weekend. So excite :O really happy for the couple, but I rarely get to see them anymore so this will be fun. ^^

Thank you! I googled it some, but all I could find was less formal, don't wear the same stuff basically.
I just met the groom for the first time today, with a bunch of groom's men. They're all pretty cool, so I'm looking forward to the wedding. Now I need to fix my toes and nails instead of working. Throws my planning off completely. I wish I wasn't so crazily busy all the time so I could actually enjoy America.

Now we can exchange wedding food experiences afterwards!
