Music To Go With The Food


The man just had to try his hand at the ramen salad. Not too bad! The salad dressing was the key. He used mainly shabu-shabu sauce for it.

There was the usual thick as gravy mushroom soup. We had hearty Irish beef stew (with copious amounts of Guinness!) and browned-butter mash.

The whole point to dinner was to gather and watch John Mayer: Live in Los Angeles on blu-ray. I like John Mayer's music. But watching this dvd just blew me away. Him accoustic; him as the Trio; him with the band. The boys drooled over the guitars and how the thumb-over neck (very Hendrix) technique formed the base of John Mayer's techniques. I was totally enthralled with his huge charisma and stage presence. It's like, wow. When I grow up, I wanna date a rock star.

John Mayer's sounds might be pop-ish. But he's a blues man at heart. If he's coming for Mosaic next year, I'm waking up at 9am to grab front row tickets man. (The last time I woke up at 9am just to grab front row tickets was for DCFC 12 August okay!)

For dessert, the friends brought over a basketful of awfully sweet momo peaches. So so juicy. Drool. Over fruit, music and man.
