Food Is What Matters

To me, at least...

We went to a party last night, a gathering of the city's literature elites, intended to keep a literature journal live on. Lui was asked to sign a special book that contains traces of some very special people in this country. The first page belonged to Canada's very own Pierre Trudeau. Towards the last quarter of the book, the husband drew, aptly, a cartoon of a reader reading a book with a book-shaped glasses...

We have been going to parties in that house for many years. I couldn't have enough good things to say about the food they served. For the first time, I cannot come up with a compliment. They went Cambodian this time. Lui and I tried to define the cuisine completely new to us. It's Thai. No. It's Chinese. No. It's Thai and Chinese put together in a pot, and served the next day after a party.
