I can think of few gifts from a friend that are better than “the wrong gift.” Why would I be happy to get the wrong gift from a friend? Well, isn’t it obvious?

It shows that they were thinking of you and wanting to please you and get you something special. How much more of a gift could you want?

I have given many gifts in my life and most of those gifts were probably the “wrong” item. They probably weren’t appreciated because what I placed value upon wasn’t necessarily what “they” thought was of value. “My bad!” I guess I’ve waited about 40 years to say that phrase willingly, “my bad.” I made a mistake, but it doesn’t mean I love you any less. Or cherish our friendship any less. You’re special to me, and I am very thankful for all our years of knowing each other and you welcoming me into your home and life. I hope there will be many more, although neither of us are “spring chickens.”

So, I’m going to be looking up recipes that use Wasabi Powder… a lot of frigging, stinking Wasabi Powder;-)
