A European and Australiasia Night :>

I went to my Czech friend's potluck party last night. :> It was fantastic!! Everyone brought a dish/ drink from home. It was a really fun evening; everyone was really friendly, I felt really comfortable, and had many interesting conversations. :) There were people from Italy, France, Germany, Poland, Czech (of course) and even Australia. There was a persistant euphony of different tones and accents in the living room.

Lenka and Alena made lotsa Czech cuisines, including a meatloaf with potato salad, a christmas sweet and spinach pastry. There was pasta made by Italian hands :>, gratin dauphinois (potatoes) from France, a fantastic nutty cake made by German Estee, who claims the cake is from Iceland :>, a Polish eggy beer, mulled wine, and I made Siew mai and pandan agar-agar. Our tummies have never been more satisfied.

I even learnt a little about Australian slang in the 2 minutes before Alena and I left for home. e.g. Dutch Oven?? hmmm better not describe that. Jam Jar for Car, Bugs bunny for money, Molly the monk for drunk

Shame I forgot my camera... but I don't suppose I will forget such an enjoyable event :>
