Why *you* should be jealous

You should be jealous because I spent almost 12 hours yesterday at one of Chris Chan's infamous tea parties, and you most likely did not. I drank tea, peed, drank tea, peed(rinse, wash, repeat). I listened to divine music. I was told I had a ticket for the Feist concert in October. I played geeky German board games in the style of settlers of Catan. I talked about all kinds of current issues(this included hack talk as well as an interesting conversation with the director of the food bank, which I will not divulge according to his wishes-by the way, you look a little bit like Joaquin Phoenix). I ate all fricking day, from 2.30 in the afternoon until 2 a.m.-

• bean soup with roasted red peppers and zucchini
• veggie samosas with hot mango chutney
• spinach feta pie
• apple-zucchini salad
• little rolls with a cheese filling(can't remember the name)
• coconut rice with mango and other fruit
• German Speatzle pasta
• Ghanian deep fried bananas with tomato stew
• Stuffed squash and zucchini
• Orange and regular raspberries
• Candied cantaloupe
• Green tea ice cream
• White chocolate raspberry gelato
• fortune cookies
• homemade brazilian toffee chocolates
• all kinds of fair trade chocolate
• cherries

I also now know a lot about all kinds of people in Wetaskawin- I tell you, life is one huge soap opera there!

Chris Chan also had the good sense to point out the best website I've seen in ages to me.

Now: more good times.
