Backlog: Dinner with Calum, Vanessa and Dave

Posted on April 8th, 2006 by Sacha Chua

Calum introduced me to Vanessa and Dave, who will be moving to Indiana this August. I regret that they're leaving soon. They're absolutely wonderful people whom I would've loved to get to know more. =) Vanessa reminded me of Tinkerbell, and Dave's a fellow Linux geek... <grin> They're awesome.

The food was fantastic, too. I need to figure out how to cook salmon fillet like that - just the right mix of salt and flavor... And oh, the strawberry cream cake! The strawberries! The cream! The cake!

On Technorati: friends
