pre-holiday cheer

tonight i had one of the best meals of my life (see below picture) at an authentic chinese dinner party! i do not know the names of any of the dishes, since their names don't translate, but mmm... phenomenally better than sketch carry-out JADE GARDEN on park street. for dessert we had tofu pumpkin pie and black tea while watching the classic "home alone" on televsion. at first i was a little nervous about going to this shindig tonight since i didn't know anyone except for the hostesses, hsaio-chi and her other taiwanese roommate, but they invited all of their american and taiwanese friends together and served us their homemade heavenly food and wow, what a great night with a room full of semi-strangers.



later... review of "borat" and my new favorite quote.
