Make Wontons, not war!

The long holiday weekend was celebrated by making 180 wontons, and eating them over two days. Our resident Chinese expert taught us how to make the wontons, and then swore at our ineptitude. Addy, who was visiting, was put to work too. Much fun was had by one and all.

Chandulal was a young man who owned a small shop selling stockings. He was a good man, but a lousy businessman. Soon enough, the business went bankrupt, and one day Chandulal was found sitting outside his now-closed store singing "Sab kuch seekha hamne , na seekhi hosiery.."

Now how many people do you know who could say that about French Horns?

I can has blog!

Political sloganeering

Just heard Hillary C. saying in her Pennslyvania primary victory speech that (roughly quoting): "the American people don't quit and they deserve a president that won't quit". Umm, What of her declared desire to quit Iraq? Not that there is anything wrong with that!
