Friends and food
It has been a busy but good weekend. On Saturday I went for a bike ride with Jeanette, then spent the evening playing clicky browser games on Kongregate and watching The Tudors.
Today I took my dad (and the rest of the family) out for yum cha because it was Father's Day. I then went for an easy jog/walk (a jwalk?) because the weather was a perfect sunny 25 degrees for the first day of Spring. After helping to paint our new window frame (mmm paint fumes), I drove to Alice's place for our monthly Shanghai Mahjong Club mahjong. She cooked us steak and perfect mashed potatoes.
Alice's Mashed Potato recipe:
1. Peel potatoes
2. Boil potatoes until the water is mostly evaporated
3. Mash the potatoes with a fork or some other proper mashing implement
4. Warm/heat the milk in the microwave
5. Add milk (or cream) and butter
6. Serve with truffle oil
We also had a perfume sniffing orgy (a snorgy?). My wrist smells really good right now, although not as good as Jackie's. Note to self: Buy a bottle of Arquiste's Aleksandr fragrance when you feel like splurging on yourself.
