kimio

i haven't blogged recently.

i had a friend pass away a week ago today. he died suddenly of a heart attack. he was a very sweet guy. i used to work with him. not being very old or sickly, it is very much a shock to everyone that he is gone.

kimio was a badass cook. he made me bitchin' cheese fondue for my birthday. everybody at the company we worked for gets to choose something for their birthday. most people choose cake, or wine and cheese. i felt like being a prima donna pain in the ass and asked for fondue. kimio came through and did an excellent job.

he used to make an incredible sculpture out of a pineapple. apparently his was a unique technique because i can't find an image of it anywhere on the web. picture a pineapple on its side like a boat with little oars made of the fruit.

i'm thinking of making a hawaiian feast on saturday, with an extra place set at the table, followed by a fire and a prayer to Kanaloa. maybe i'll see if there's some of kimio's favorite greenery around i can burn as an offering....
