shadowsongpad thai went well, especially for a first try. i'm not sure i got the right variety of fish sauce, and i didn't make enough of the sauce, and we didn't have enough peanuts, but joel said it was delicious, so i'm satisfied. not very much in the way of leftovers, but i put together an approximation of what exactly it was that i made so that joel or dad can use the rest of the noodles up. i'd never realized that it's ketchup that makes pad thai pinkish. who would have thought asian food tasted good with ketchup...
i skipped fencing (obviously, since i'm posting instead of being there) but i think getting to stay home and eat without paying was worth it. need to get vitha's phone number or email or even just address, but i don't know how to accomplish that. i sent her a message via the ffg list, but never heard back. maybe she didn't think it required a response (since i wasn't specifically asking her address).
g street sells berninas. i think i want to check them out... the only problem is that it requires me to go to g street, which is generally a dangerous thing. turns out returns are only for store credit, and you can't return anything under 3 yards. (like, say, my 2 yards of osnaburg.) so i was kind of annoyed, especially when i checked today and discovered that jo-ann has it at least 50 cents cheaper. feh. i think i'll make my new shirt out of the osnaburg, so i can wait till i have more time to concentrate and use the raw silk for a shirt with a ruffled collar that can go with the new doublet that i've decided not to make for this pennsic. :) and i remembered that i was supposed to find a way to put gussets in the gold yelek too, not just fix the buttonloops.
i always have such piddling things to talk about here.
