Before i went to the hospital the opther day i went to the chinese supermarket, bought frozen dim sum and wrapped them in a blanket in the car (i had forgotten the cool box). We are eating some tonight....mmmmmmmmmmmm

Doozer loves dimsum. I should get some of that too.

Why'd you do that? That's dishonest..... if the host makes that thing, they must love it, so it's better to declare you don't like it and leave more for them

That's totally logical, but there is a flaw, as the host will then feel obliged to rustle up something else for you to eat. In the meantime, the host doesn't get any of the lovely pizza. For that reason, a sensible host may offer a variety of dishes to choose from.

I got a new one this time, it has a yummy sweet green centre in the fluffy bun outer.

I am craving things i did not get, like new world lime or coconut jelly and the waterchustnut jelly too. And the one i call slobby prawn. Oh, and paper prawns. .


I am sorting through lots of old house magazines and bishing. Out of a whole recylcling box full of magazines i found half a dozen images to keep. And no sign of the stupid florring i am looking for either.

I am also looking at bathrooms as i go, trying to get inspiration for a layout for a small bathroom that does not make a shower over bath feel like a compromise in the small space.

Yep. Only way for a
Arge gathering imo is to come up with a sort of vague food idea...like 'mediteranean' or 'picnic-y' and hope everyone likes something enough to stop them from being too hungry. And to provide lots of bread and butter!

You can get baths with a straight edge inside and out: http://mediacache.homeimprovementpages.com.au/creative/articles/hip/1904/1904_620x290.jpg

I've only heard of Chinese supermarkets since I visited MSE.... never been in one or seen one.
