updates for Aangthy
Its been 6 dates so far. All of them quite awesome. He makes me laugh, its awesome to snuggle and hang out. And the other stuff is good too. ;)
The second date (the Wednesday following the first date) he cooked us dinner, a pesto-sauced tortellini with veggies. It was a simple easy preparation, but good. We played another board game (Small Worlds) and watched an episode of Avatar - The Winter Solstice, from first season, before him driving me home.
Then on Friday, I'd had the day off, and needed to go to the store to buy bus tickets and something to eat for dinner, so I called him to see if he had a free evening and wanted to hang out. He said that he did, so I grabbed flat bread, humus, feta, couscous and salami for munchings. I had to work at 8:30 the following morning, and he offered to drive me in to work, but I didn't have my work clothes with me, so I had to decline the offer to spend the night. He made a joke about something, using the monster-truck rally "Sunday Sunday Sunday!" voice, which I replied "Well, I get off at 5:30 on Sunday..."
Then on Sunday, it turned out I'd remembered it wrong, and I really got off at 4:30. I got home about 5:15 or so and started making dinner. Then at 6:33, just as I was finishing eating, he called. "So, I think I remember you said you got off work at 6:30..." Lolz. I'd remembered it wrong, he remembered it wrong from what I told him, but he called me right at 6:30. So cute. We hung out, just cuddled and watched Avatar - he was now at Lake Laogai - because he'd had a lonely crappy weekend and just needed some low stress hanging outs.
We made arrangements for Monday, it was Warhammer night, and he invited me to join him and meet some of his friends. When he picked me up, however, he decided that he's just seen his friends and would rather spend the evening with me. He cooked dinner again, a yummy asian stir fry, and we watched more Avatar.
I didn't have Wednesday off from work this week, so we had to wait until Friday again. This time I cooked, Chicken Marsala, but with Portabello mushrooms in place of the chicken, served with roasted red potatoes and green beans. Adventures in cooking - I asked him to heat up some oil while I floured the mushrooms... so he put his wok on high. Then as I got done, we both looked at the wok that had started to smoke, and as we looked, it poofed into flames. So I removed the wok from heat, we grabbed a lid (after I pointed out that since the wok has a small base, he didn't even need a lid that was as big as the wok) and snuffed the fire. It did wind up with the house being full of smoke, but the food came out great - good thing I told him not to use the fire extinguisher.
He also wanted to make Pumpkin Pie, since he was going to a Canadian Thanksgiving meal on Saturday, so we went to the grocery store to buy the ingredients. He'd received in the mail a pair of steampunk goggles that he'd ordered, and decided that he'd wear them to the store. Ah geeks. But we wound up not making the pie, since he didn't have his recipe, and couldn't get a hold of his mom to ask for it. So we ate the apple pie I brought over that my mom had made, along with some frosting in a can (made from oil, not cream, so safe free of lactose).... I had to work at 9:30 on saturday, but this time I brought my work clothes along, so he drove me in to work in the morning - wearing the goggles again.
I would not be surprised if he wore the goggles to the Thanksgiving party.
I can also properly cyberstalk him, and have added him to facebook and google+. Alas, I don't have another free evening until Thursday.
