This past weekend was a festive chaos of cooking gone wild, family dinner night, an aborted attempt to relive my youth, friends’ baby birthday, and the Lion King.  In no particular order, I learned that:

• the Koreans have created a near-perfect venting system for their bbq
• there are restaurants in Singapore that don’t allow children – shame on you Kuriya!
• the in-laws now ask with every new dish – was this cooked sous vide?
• egg yolk-sized spheres are easy to make
• the Lion King musical rocks.  Go see it.  Seriously.  And if you don’t want, hakuna matata
• I’m definitely too old to stay out past midnight.
• there are at least three different types of baby wipes: oil-based, water-based, and for the hands/mouth
• bacon makes food taste better (not new, but always worth stating)
• Perla’s pastry makes a fruit tart that’s almost as good as La Farine

So after a hectic month and a weekend chock full of activities, G and I are off to Bali for babymoon, part deux.  Since we both have excess vacation days and we’ll likely not have any time to ourselves in the foreseeable future, now’s the time for a quick getaway to veg on sandy beaches that weren’t man made.  See you all in a week!
