Fun times

2 12 2007

Dinner party was fun — simple Chicken dish with steamed veg. Wow — I have seen those cheapy steamers in the store, but dang. I never knew just how cool / useful / convenient they were. The hostess had a 3-decker … and used 1 level for potatoes, 1 level for broccoli, and 1 level for carrots … all came out so tender & full of good nutrients, so easy. They were telling me you can also do rice & crustless bread in the thing. I was impressed :-)

You know what else is impressive? Conrad just uploaded pictures from his Macy’s-Day-Parade-Eve walk around our neighborhood. The balloons are all inflated and ready for the big day tomorrow (a bit strange to look at them close-up and netted down, but still neat to imagine it). Next year, I *will* be there to experience it *with* Conrad, but this is a good step!





Impending wildlife stampede

I am very excited. In reading around the Singapore tags on the Blogroll, I hear that Dr. Jane Goodall is coming to Singapore this Friday afternoon. I’ll be there … she says to bring a recycled costume of an endangered species (not sure I have one of those in the closet) and an eco-picnic.

Event runs from 4-7pm in the Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden in Singapore’s Botanical Gardens (another place on the list!)

More information

I promise to take some pics and share some post-event memories. Any locals who want to go just let me know.
