We had a meal a while back that Lotis had sent home with me for Cristina. I think it was called Bar-I, and it is native to her island in the Phillipines. Cristina loved it so much that she wanted to learn how to make it, so we asked Lotis to help us buy the ingredients and to concoct the meal. Today was the long-awaited day and it was definitely worth the wait.
While we weren't able to buy the kind of proper ingredients available in places like New York, we are able to get substitutes and pretend they are the real thing. I don't have the kind of sophisticated palate to know the difference, and the meal today wouldn't take a backseat to anything available in any restaurant here. Deeeeeeelicious!!!
Mike and I whiled away our time trying to control the 4 dogs who were anxious to see what was cooking, and building up our appetites.
Later Cristina and I went to El Centro and I missed a turn, adding 4 blocks to our journey. I sure felt stupid... We were going to pick up Cristina's replacement phone only to find that it wasn't ready... come back tomorrow.... While I wasn't a happy camper about that, I was very happy to hear that the replacement is not going to cost us anything.
We got caught in a good rainstorm while riding home but luckily Cristina had both a jacket and an umbrella, so I got the umbrella. We only had a block to go so we survived the downpour.
I hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day’s excitement.
Cheers, Al
