2008.1.7. Finally my guest is departing after 5 days. Even though she's a very nice girl, mature and independent beyond her age, I'm still glad to have the place to myself. Especially yesterday when I learned that Z.Y. (a friend I used to hang out with), someone of my age, died 10 days ago.
Last Saturday, we shared one dinner together and watched a new documentary Kike Like Me (the director is a snob, but the movie has some interesting bits). She made Greek salad with feta cheese, Tahina dip, and sweet Sahlab drink. The latter two being my first. She also tasted for the first time: jelly fish, tong ho, and ginkgo seed.
I've planned to make a proper dinner sometime and invite her over, since she'll be in Seattle for at least 4 months.
