… or monterey park. whatever.
went to get dim sum with some folks from my sometime-fraternity on sunday morning… it was kinda cool to see that there are some nice new people in aphio. didn’t get to talk with them a whole lot, but they seem pretty cool. we parted after lunch was over, though — jer and i had to do a ranch 99 run to restock the cupboards. aaah! it’s been so long since i’ve done a real ranch run!! picked up some mushrooms, veggies, noodles, soy milk, dumplings, a steamer basket, and a bunch of other tasty-yet-non-essential items, like some tang-yuan and chocolate covered muscat gummies. those are my favorite!! kekeke. ooh, and we also got those super-yummy custard filled cakes no place else seems to sell. hooray for ranch 99 in san gabriel. :)
monterey park is so far away though. =( it feels like a day trip — an hour to get there, a whole day spent there, and another hour getting back. it’s no wonder we don’t make the trip out there very frequently.
oh well. at least we are restocked now. i’m eager to try some recipes from the cookbook i got last week.. and maybe improvise a few too! we’ve got the materials now. i am so ready!! woohoo!!
