Saturday: made cheesecake. Damn good cheesecake.

Sunday: Went to church with wife. Explored Presbyterianism. Received loaf of bread from kindly Presbyterians, the better to start my Monday morning off with some tasty Jesus Chow. May go back next Sunday, even sans promise of tasty bread.

Went to dim sum for the first time in at least two years. So good. So cheap! My one regret is that the steamed-dumpling trolley didn't make its way to us until the end. Okay, two regrets: I didn't get a bowl of eight-treasure rice pudding. The cart kept being out. Did not try the tripe or the chicken feet. Chicken feet beyond me.
Also, I must learn to make pork bao like that. Or we could just go back after church next Sunday.

And so an inextricable link was formed in Selkie's brain: church = chow. Of such simple stuff is a convert made.

*ducks*


Best wishes to [livejournal.com profile] sovay today, though I don't want to make a big deal out of it. Send good thoughts!

One of my favorite things about church as a kid was the donuts after morning mass. Also my suitemates who attended kind of halfheartedly last year did so largely because they got to stay for dinner. Church + food is a pretty potent combination.

Church = chow is indeed the essence of Protestantism. Donuts! Cake! Potlucks! Soup kitchens! Heifer project! Did I mention potlucks?

Yeah, I know.

I'm not actually converting, and as far as the pork bao, I swear it'll never happen again. :)

Pork shmork, if you want to eat replacement parts when you know better - meh, between you and Hashem. But conversion - thats O_o - particularly when we have the smack down on the food after services. :P
