DAY 149

Wednesday 7 December 2011

 Nicole and Dian got up to walk to the car back near Pilar's place and pick up a few things for dinner at Dia, our local supermarket. This was, however, no ordinary dinner Dian was planning. It was a blowout American extravaganza meal! Amongst other necessities (milk, eggs), they bought multiple packs of ground meat, hamburger buns with such a lack of nutrition one might as well be eating cotton, a jumbo pack of pre-cut french fries, BBQ sauce (a must), avocados, tomatoes, chocolate powder and tiramisu ice cream. All this would eventually equal a burger, fries, and a chocolate shake to die for.

On their way back home, who should they run into but Pilar, our former hostess! They chatted for a bit then went their separate ways. They stopped at a local Chinese Bazaar and bought paints, canvases and envelopes.

Lunch was a simple yet perfect lentil and sausage soup Bill had made, but Dian wasted no time in starting her culinary coup. Claire did not get off work until much later and had already planned on seeing a play with some friends, so she did not take part in the bodacious buffet with us, though we saved her some leftovers (and boy, there were plenty of those-- yum!).
