I've been overdosing on Vicks Vapo-drops, and I think I'm already over the worst of the cold. I have a blogged dose dough, made it very hard to eat breakfast; I had to pause between each mouthful and take a couple of deep breaths. So now I'm slightly hyperventilated as well as Vicks-ed up.
We went to a friend's for tea last night, it was a bit of a dinner party, about 10 people there and Ally (the friend and host) cooked some awesome food. It started with Japanese nibbles like crab nori rolls and smoked salmon on chive pikelets as well as the oblogatory mini dim sims, spring rolls and prawn toast. Then she'd made a Thai Green Curry, Beef with Black Bean and Satay Chicken for the main course followed by a butterscotch fondue with fruit for dessert. Unbelievably delicious, and most of it was homemade from scratch! Apparently Ally used to share house with a Japanese girl when she was studying: one of the most obvious advantages of a multicultural society, in my opinion.
