Eat Around the World

Hey y'all. Check this out. Last Saturday went over to Sachi, Mihoko and Dave's house for dinner and we all made a dish each. Sachi made Malaysian vegetable curry (her boyfriend Dom is vego), Mihoko made ma-puo tofu, Dave made Japanese salad dressing for the salad, Yuki made kim chi with pork and I made my Morroccan style beef with couscous. Oh my god the meal that night was unbelievable. Dave's sister and her boyfriend came, Unes the last member of the house was there as well and later two more stragglers came. This is becoming a bit of a regular thing now as two weeks prior I had dinner with them (plus and minus a few guests) and met some really nice people.

And to think this all started with working at Second Cup, a chain coffee shop (known in Australia as Gloria Jean's, which I used to work at during uni!), where I met Sachi and Yuki. And through Sachi I've met Mihoko, who took me salsa dancing last Thursday night. Mihoko is a top shelf salsa-er, we had so much fun. My body ached for two days after. And through Mihoko I've met Neil, who gave me a lift to Ikea - sweet.

I realise this blog sounds rather elementary. It's the end of a long day and I just want to get this out instead offering any thing insightful. But things are looking better in Toronto these days anyway. Least I'm never short of a good meal! Bon appetite!
