Today, I'm taking a different route than normal.  Today's post isn't about news, or even something amusing.  Today's post is purely to embarrass our friend Skye.

A certain someone was supposed to join us for dinner on the evening of 02/25/2007.  She delivered her regrets at precisely 1:29 PM; exactly 91 minutes before we were scheduled to meet in the city.  I'm glad she didn't call a few minutes later, or we would have already been on the road to the University of Pennsylvania Museum.

Just so everyone is clear on exactly what she missed; I've taken some photos that I'd like to share...

We spent quite a while preparing this one.  The table was set Asian-style.  The menu included fresh sushi (hand made by Jessa), many types of dumplings, several kinds of steam buns, and home made green tea (Japanese-style) ice cream.

Here's a picture of the table all set, wine glasses and all: 

Here we have a  close-up of the table setting, including the bamboo steamer used for the food.

Also, we even had a selection of wines on hand.  The bowls were set out for the ice cream.

Lastly, I thought I would include a picture of the sushi that was slumbering in the fridge.  The poor sushi, it was only a few hours old when it heard that we were ditched.  Poor little Philadelphia crab rolls.

We hope this blog entry serves to embarrass all those who have ditched us; and possibly all those who will ditch us in the future.

Also... 

In completely unrelated news: our neighbors had better Asian food than ever before in their lives. Our splendid food was devoured by screaming children.
