Rinaldi and Yvonne's House Warming, also Sher's Good Bye Partry

Yvonne made roasted peanuts. I love this style with a bit of soy sauce, star anise.
Loc and Stacy made arugula salad, one of my favorite salads to eat.

Lai Theng brought Malaysian Curry her housemate Justine made. It was delicious. She also without fail brought her math homework to the party. She got everybody to solve her math homework for her. Not a problem with a room full of high tech engineers.
Kristine and Wayne brought 3 kinds of banana bread. I think Kristine should go into business with her banana bread.

Cici made chilled moon cake. It was just right, not too sweet and favorful. One of the things you can count one when Yvonne puts on a party is board games and she has fun ones.

Illuminated Manuscript

Went to Taize tonight at the Mercy Center. Sr. Suzzane was on piano, while Sr. Jona was on the mandoline, and Zenni was on base. I think this is the first time I heard the mandoline at Taize, it was light and sweet. I really like it. It's gonna have to be on the top of my list along with string quartette. I noticed the illuminated manuscript framed on the wall. I really like classic pieces like this, the calligraphy and the illumination.

After Taize service, I was invited by the youth group to join them for a hangout. To my surprise their youth group were all in their 30's and 40's. I think I will join them next month at their monthly gathering before the Taize service. Good to meet nice new people.

Sher was late for the event and I had to go pick her up from Bart. I really didn't like showing up late to services and walking during the service or prayer. I just feel terrible and the anxiety and distress, just not good. But,..... that's how it was. She was late.
