Despite
the lack of activity outside, us girls had tons to do. Card games and food
galore! For breakfast, S made utma, some spicy flatten rice dish. PF enjoyed it
so much that she went for seconds. Such gesture probably set a flame in S to
proceed with lunch preparation immediately after finishing on the utmas. While
she sliced and diced, PF and I competed a great deal on Doodle Jump. I usually
care not for that game, but I had to prove myself worthier than her in gaming
skills. That we did, neck and neck. The onion smell however proved a formidable
foe, forcing frequent trips to the bathroom.
After
lunch was prepared, we baked cupcakes. S thought it would be good to use the
confetti cake flavor for its colorful batter. That indeed was alright, except
the first batch was a lil burnt on the bottom. We hypothesized the high
temperature to be the problem. Second batch came out perfect, lightly browned
on the top and cooked to the bottom. Us girls then dressed our cupcakes up with
frostings and sprinkles. These three are mine.
I
regretted not accepting PF’s dare to use money as gambling tokens. I could have
easily won $15 from her since the girl was losing so much at Black Jack.
Instead we made do with some strawberry charms I’ve gotten for free from a
random website. Don’t ask me why or how, it’s been a while. Then lunch ensued
with a delicious pot of dry curry chicken and a pot of dhal. PF contributed a
plate of stir fried vegetable as well. I stuffed myself silly with rice and sweets
that day.
As the
skies turned auburn, it was time for PF to leave. We walked her to the bus stop
and watched the bus take her downtown. Christmas was a day spent with laughter
and food. May there be many days such as these in the future for all of us.
