Jessica Briggs gave a talk in our last Friday’s gathering. We hope she would come back to give other talks in the future or just come for fellowship. She got everyone’s thinking for while. It was that good.
The food was amazingly good. Our main entrée was beef steak and almost everyone had second. We also had Vietnamese spring rolls with shrimp. We will make more spring rolls next time. Thanks to Yiling and Yok who helped so much in the food preparation. [together, forever]
Our deserts were also spectacular. Despite of Egid's reputation in baking unsucessful cakes, a chiffon pandan cake was actually made, not bad, not bad. The only sorry part about it is, Darrin was not there to enjoy it. :(
Betty brought a homemade fruit-pudding pie to-die-for. I am not kidding about the "to-die-for" part. She was giving her whole afternoon to bake this pie. Thank you Betty. We love you very much. Although, Teresa was not able to make it, she sent Taiwanese wedding cookies which are pretty yummy. The price of a box of this type of cookies is approximately $30. Really? So, on your mark, get set, go, everyone dig in!! Furthermore, Jessica brought ice-cream and lots of toppings. So much dessert that we didn't get to open Betty's treat from the Cal-Poly farm store, "The notorious" popcorn. We promise, (Egid especially), will not eat it before the next gathering on May 1, 2009. Yeah, it was a super fulfilling evening, not only mentally, but also physically.
In the next gathering on May 1, 2009, we will have Angelis Chevalier, a phenomenal piano teacher from Brazil, as our guest speaker. So, mark your calendar you guys!
