Yesterday: Cooking workshop, nice walk
Geoff hosted a British food cooking workshop at Graduate House. That was tons of fun, and I really enjoyed getting to know people. Calum roasted the red peppers for the soup. I helped prepare soup and dessert, meeting another Filipina - Cel(sp?) - in the process. I promised to meet her next weekend so that we can explore Toronto, as she's never been to Chinatown. She had fun making the chocolate sauce for dessert.
The dinner was excellent, and props go to all the people in the workshop. =) I'm really, really glad I'm in Graduate House.
After coffee time, Lusine, Stefan, James and I enjoyed a brisk evening walk. The only odd part was being accosted by an unnaturally friendly person near Queen's Park. The man insisted on getting James to repeat his story about the Royal Ontario Museum's pair of guardian lions (dogs, James said), and kept walking with us until we reached the park. I'm embarrassed to confess that I was afraid instead of more tolerant, practically hiding in James' shadow while the guy was walking with us.
Still, this day was a day for much laughter, conversation, and good friendship. It was just what I needed to get my mind off things and to get a better perspective on some difficult issues.
