Doesn't have a point of view

food, food, food
I am still without new photos because Mom forgot to bring the camera to our adventure to the pastry shop where we obtained Oliver hugs and a glimpse at his trip to Venezuela.
I should not be sitting so near my computer when I am already so behind on everything, but I am. I might actually need it soon.
I'm more or less just blabbing to myself than writing for you.
Here. Food is always interesting.
Today I made a bunch of things. I went crazy. My housemates are not home. I have never experienced this luxury before. I wish I had time to embrace how wonderful it is. I used my record player. I baked blueberry muffins. I sat in the bathroom. I danced around the kitchen. I sang in the shower. Then, I soaked some mung beans, which put a damper on it all. They have been sitting on my shelf for almost a year but I have not wanted to make them when Huyen was around because its her thing and I have no idea what I'm doing. I feel incredibly guilty for making these things right now, so I will tell you later what they are because they are amazing.
Yesterday I ate a tuna sandwich at Merchant's which was fun. I tried to read there, but I am too much of a sucker for watching people. Biking around downtown Walla Walla on a Saturday reminded me of how wonderful the town really is.
Friday was Indian food at the Exxon station. Prawin made kidney beans and rice sound less than exciting, but they were delicious. The couple is thinking about making goat next week. As Prawin said, there may soon be a goat in his life, as he might help them clean it.
The night before tha Anu made a huge meal for the family that included daal, curried califlower, yogurt, rice, and cucumbers. Huyen poured me a huge glass of chocolate milk to go with it and later I ate a little of Anu's deliciously rich kheer.
On Friday I also cooked for myself which I haven't done in forever. I really haven't made stir fry in three weeks. I don't think I've cooked with meat for probably a month. Man, it was good.
Okay. That's the end of my food list. Eric is scheduled to be back tomorrow afternoon to make my life more interesting again.
