more festivities

today greg and i had dinner with morgan's friends from london, and it was nice that deychen was able to join us. we had fun talking and sharing where we visited in london, and hearing about their walks around manhattan. emma and elper attempted twice to get to central park, but were distracted both times by temptations along the way (one was the museum of modern art and the other was the natural history museum). morgan also took them to teddy roosevelt's birth place and the merchant museum and i think they're planning an excursion to the tenement museum, and aisha a ride on the staten island ferry (and also meet ups with chanda and korrina). it was a rainy night and everyone arrived wet and cold. we drank copious amounts of green tea and peppermint tea and ate piping hot red bean and quinoa chili (dessert was leftover cookies and chocolates). (and they enjoyed seeing the tree.)

  1. What a lovely night
    And the chill sounds fabulous
    And there is so much to do
    And see
    You could never do it all (even if you live in NYC I imagine there is always something to do and see)
    I hope Ms friends are having an amazing trip, and Morgan is enjoying being a tour guide

  2. So many guests for you! Is it hard to serve them all?

    1. One pot meals make it relatively easy.

    2. That is what my mother used to do: Cook a huge pot of soup or stew . . .

    3. And they're extra nice in that you can finish and leave it on the stove and just heat it up later . . no standing over the burners while guests are around.
