(no subject)
Yesterday I got a couple of folks into a chatroom with me to watch some movies. We got through The King of Beggars, Care Bears (the 1985 one), Phantom Tollbooth, and Cinderella (Rodgers and Hammerstein, the one with Brandy).
I also made myself some pork rib soup! Using the new Chinese herbs I bought from the store! It was delicious.... I hadn't realized just how much I missed their taste in my soup. I use the leftover soup to cook rice too. If I'm careful then the rice isn't too salty.
Today I got an email from Nalo, last minute invite to her "at home" and she sent it to a wrong address (people sometimes assume that Jaymee is my legal name and thus in addresses that assign first and last names in the username). So I got to hang out with her, and David and Dr. Latham. I've never hung out with Dr. L at close quarters before! It was nice hanging out with them for a while, and Dr. L gave me a ride home too. Everyone's moving to L.A.--Dr. L, Nalo, and a couple other profs.
Tomorrow TX and I will be heading to the grocery store again... I promised her steamed fish :D Very excited. But I need some equipment for it though, so I'll pick them up at the store. Whole catfish, nom.
I also found this terrific recipe for bak kut teh! Every other recipe I've found so far suggests getting bak kut teh pre-mixed spice packets, which I can't really find here, so I figured I'd find out what's in the packet and make it from scratch. I've got three out of the list there. I really appreciate how the recipe has the Chinese name, the pronunciation, the scientific name AND the English name. Gonna try it with the rest of the pork ribs I've got, and if it works, well, YAY, that is a food thing I know that my dad doesn't :P
At the rate I'm cooking it might be really worth my while to move out and find some roommates so I'm not stuck eating my food all the time!
