Fundraising dinner was, well hopefully good at funding the cause 'cause it's a good one.
I think I ate a few things tonight that I have never eaten before and I don't want to think any more about it. If I can't even identify based on animal, vegetable or cereal? The fewer questions asked the better.
Might have been flatworms for all I know. It was cooked in something with a base of chicken broth so I'm going to say that flatworms taste like chicken. Of course they do...
Then there was a soup that really unfortunately reminded me of a texture description that was either here or in Natter the other day.
Thankfully after the appetizer (really? felt more like appeterrorism to me) and the soup, things turned fabulous and much good eating was had.
But the best part was the family at my table. The son was apparently the one attending and he brought his Chinese parents, SomethingEasternEuropean wife, and his Amerasian daughter who was darling. They were lovely and made the conversation at our table of eight just flow and sparkle much of the time.
And I learned about "Asian Time" when the evening got way off schedule quite early. It doesn't look funny typing it but it was funny at the time.
Dayum, Plei. Smoking hot like a smoking thing. And Ticky is hopping cute like a hoppy thing. Amazing pictures.
Was slammed by a wall of PMS with bonus IBS just as I was leaving. Am now gronked on couch with tea, fire and drugs.
But I looked nice tonight and that is always fun. But my patiently straightened hair? Total ringlets. I think I might have to embrace the wavy and turn it into curly until we get past the rainy season. Wonder if I can get a shot. Will try after I post and edit as needed.
