OK, I just looked up the kabocha manju recipe and I'm going to make some when I finish the plum kosode today. The last of the kabocha from my garden are sitting on the counter and I think manju would be an excellent destiny for them.

Depending on how late the party goes at Estrella on Thursday night, I might see you there; I'm flying in to Phoenix Thursday after work and my daughter (the one who delivered the shoju at Great Western) is picking me up. At any rate, I'll see you Friday.
