Best Meal Yet in Louisville

Hi dear colleague! I'm flattered that you are reading my blog. And I'm super curious to know who you are. Mind telling? :)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just had one of the best meals since I got to Louisville!

Last night my colleague invited me over to her place for dinner. Her parents-in-law were in town last weekend and they made a lot of yummy dishes. I mean tons.

It was sooooooooo good. We had 卢/炉牛肉 (I still can't figure out which 'lu3' is correct) which is beef cooked in a spice mixture specially brought over from China! We also had 红烧猪肉, pork with a layer of fat boiled with some herbs. And then there was cabbage spicy style and 豆腐干 (dried tofu).

My english translations don't do justice to the food. But rest assured it was delicious! Authentic home-cooked Chinese food! Can't get any more authentic than this.

The beef was most yum-yum. I kept eating and eating it, with all thoughts about me being a vegetarian thrown out the 1st floor window.

I wish I have photos to show. Wanted to take photos of the food but then I didn't have a camera or a camera phone with me. Speaking of phones, I just got my new phone today!! Yay!! Will write more about this next time. :)

After dinner we went to watch our department's softball tournament. We play every Tuesday, but for some reason it rained every Tuesday for the past few weeks. I think maybe God / Kwan Yin doesn't like softball.

You know hor? I think everybody looks younger when they are not wearing work clothes. Last time at Drake, we looked so much more serious in our 'interview attire'. Kinda weird at first to see each other dressed like that. As though seeing a different person. Now it's kinda the same way with seeing colleagues in casual dress.
