(Well, until Elsa cooked supper &#8211; then she worked her butt off). After faffing about in the morning (because the garage was off-limits from 8am til noon), we headed off to Jewell to buy all the ingredients that <a href=\"https:\/\/elsaf.livejournal.com\"><b>elsaf<\/b><\/a> and I didn&#8217;t bring in the car. Of course, after all that food buying, we, um, went out to eat for lunch. Heh.<\/p>\n<p> Elsa drove <a href=\"https:\/\/judiang.livejournal.com\"><b>judiang<\/b><\/a> and I to Chinatown for lunch. We ate at Penang (a Malaysian restaurant &#038; sushi bar) and filled up on sushi. I ordered ebi sushi plus the Maki Combo plate. More sushi than I could eat, but there ya go. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n<p> Afterwards, we shopped in Chinatown. We picked up some key pastries from a bakery and then visited several shops that sold lots of tat. One of the first ones we visited had a Lucky Cat who waves. YAY! I have wanted one since I saw the one our local Japanese place has. It was only $9.99, so I had to get it. <\/p>\n<p> I priced several Mah Jongg tile sets in several of the shops, but nobody had one cheap enough for my cheap self. So I&#8217;m still without my Mah Jongg tile set. <\/p>\n<p> After shopping, we stopped once again at Jewell to pick up the things we&#8217;d forgotten to get. And even managed to forget one of those! Whoops!<\/p>\n<p> We rested up from our shopping before Elsa began her tutorial on Lamb Curry. Judi and I watched while she cooked &#038; explained stuff. She was almost as good as Justin Wilson! (Without the thick Louisiana accent, that is.) <\/p>\n<p> During the 1 hour simmering time, we just listening to music, chatted, and geeked. Elsa&#8217;s just added the cream to the curry, so we&#8217;re just about ready for supper. Yay! Smells wonderful!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was a nice leisure day for all of us. (Well, until Elsa cooked supper &#8211; then she worked her butt off).
