quelle une surprise!!

 someone covered my eyes with their hands during the show's intermission and said "guess who." i could have killed her and my friend elsa said she could have given me a heart attack. elsa was sitting right next to me and couldn't get over the shock on my face.

 well, she was back from thailand in time for chanda's dance in ellen's show!

 it was wonderful and special and very exciting. 

we all had lots of energy and couldn't stop talking . . 





 oh no . . not more gelato and espresso . . 



 we couldn't resist surprising korrina at work . . 

 we had fun crashing the morimoto "scene." we hadn't been in the restaurant before. it's very nice! we stayed only a few minutes as it was late and she was cleaning up.

 a standard post-show pic . . we walked our friend deychen home and picked up morgana's suitcase. deychen had been in on the whole plan, and even my friend janet knew. 

her welcome back to tyrol gift.

what does she think of it all . .

by the way, chanda's class danced so incredibly well. their group piece was fun and exciting to watch, and all their solos were especially moving and lovely. they have all really grown so much. chanda danced beautifully and received words of praise from her teacher for having a strong presence on stage and for opening up to the audience. she's been working on this for years, so it was nice to hear.

what korrina was up to

 so, while we went about our wednesday business, what was korrina up to? she was helping her boss, the iron chef himself! morimoto was part of the celebrity chef gala: autism speaks to wall street.

 she really enjoyed herself and felt that she really worked with "some amazing people." above are the green tea filled teapots ready to be placed on the tables.

the first course: fugu sashimi with cucumber ponzu and microgreens. don't ask me please! 

the menu for the evening . .
 
 
 and the team.
