Of friends and food

April 9, 2006

What a great start to my holiday week and a bit.
After the fear of the Friday afternoon’s fire, Frank, Oreon and my little brother came over for drinks and pizza, homemade of course. We sat around and talked, had a good time, gossiped and watched the teev. It’s nice just to hang out with friends and family- we don’t do it enough. I miss my brother and am as guilty as hell that I don’t have enough time for him lately. I’m sure he’ll live, but he seems so down at the moment. It’s the same for Frank- I never spent enough time with her when she was here, now I miss her and don’t see her enough. I’ve got to fix that. I’m such a slack friend.

Saturday night, BMB made a *huge ass* Chinese banquet. He made so much food, we didn’t finish it all. Us, the hoovers from hell. So much has changed. Of course, we broke the first rule of yum cha ( which is not “don’t talk about yumcha”)- don’t eat deep fried first. We had dim sims, spring rolls, meatballs and prawn toasts.
There’s still chicken wings and spare ribs in the fridge. I think the chicken wings will make a great lunch and we’re taking the spare ribs up to Mum for dinner.
Yes, after a lovely weekend, we’re off to helltown for some quality time with the maternal unit. Hopefully she’s going to teach me how to overlock and without a doubt I’ll have to do something on the computer. See you in a couple of days.
