Weekend Report: Pre-Birthday Buffet Lunch

Food this weekend ->
Made some Butter Chicken with drum sticks.

Butter Chicken.

We celebrated by Dad's birthday early this weekend, because Ben is away the long weekend and I have a softball tournament the weekend after.  We went to Emerald Buffet for lunch.
I got 3 plates of mostly the same food: mussels, chicken feet, money bags, fried wonton, mini-BBQ pork pastry, stomach, and shumai.  The mussels were small, so I got alot of it.  The mini-BBQ pork pastries were really good.  The money bags and chicken feet were good too.

Plate #1.

Plate #2.

Plate #3.

I finished with a small bowl of congee with mussels, stomach, and fried wonton.  The congee filled up the gaps in my stomach :)

Afterwards we had cake.

Useless Gaming News:
Some 6 player gaming at Brian's house.
Started with 4-player Alien Frontiers, but we didn't finish it.  It seems like a very neat game that uses the dice very uniquely.  I'd like to playing it again.

Alien Frontiers.

Moved on to 6-player Fortune and Glory.  It's a Flying Frog game, so it's expected to be a good game, but super long.  Especially when spend alot of time going over rules and jumping into an Advance Cooperative game.  We should have played what the instructions suggested: a Beginner Competitive game, but Brian doesn't like "vs mode" and pouts.

Fortune and Glory.

Useless Idol News:
This weekend at the 4 day AKB48 Tokyo Done Concerts; Akimoto Sayaka and Itano Tomomi had their graduation ceremonies.
Sayaka had a sea of green pen lights when she performed her graduation song.

Uhho Uhhoho Sayaka.

Also current and ex original Team K members appeared and performed with her, including Kasai! :)
(BTW: Kasai fixed her hair so it's not super blond anymore.) 

Kasai with Fixed Hair.

Yuko cried the most and seemed to have gone crazy after Sayaka's graduation concert.  lol

Sayaka's AKB Theatre graduation is this Wednesday.

Itano had her name spelt out in penlights by fans.

"TOMO" Penlights.

Her graduation song "Saigou no Door" is pretty good too.

Itano's AKB Theatre graduation is this Tuesday.  I took Tuesday off so I can watch the streamed concert at 3am
