OMG wafts of good-smelling stuff coming into the room while !! I'm typing this - CAN'T WAIT TO EAT!!!!!!! Giselle and Glenda (they come from Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico respectively) are cooking some of their native food ... plaintains, Spring Rice, stuffed peppers!! And yx's got her bak kut teh up and boiling. OMG. OMG. OMG
Anyway, we took a 1hr bus ride to the outskirts of town today to visit a gigantic pet shop! It's got halls devoted to different kinds of animals - like a whole section on fish, one on birds, one on reptiles and so on. WOW! Happy today. We saw things like snakes, lizards, frogs for sale, and their crickets and worms were actually in tissue-box looking containers which are really so convenient and so cool. THEN, just before we left, 3 baby ferrets came in!! Only the video can do them justice. They are somewhere between playful kittens and baby teddy bears, and were bouncing around in their enclosure! Yx refused to get away from them, and by the end of the trip, she was lamenting on how absolutely IDIOTIC AVA is to stop us from keeping things like these. Bought a stuffed bone for Brownie (real hollow long bone with glutinous doggie chow stuffed in it), a squeaky toy that emits at frequencies only dogs can hear, and a peanut-butter-flavoured cookie that is cat-shaped, chosen by yx.
Well actually we missed the stop that went to Animart - or so we thought, but in fact it was the right one! And on the way we actually passed a gigantic Wal-mart, and I distinctly saw a building called "PetsMart" there, which was 3 stops before Animart. So, after shopping, I asked the lady in Animart if PetsMart was anywhere near and asked for directions, half of which I didn't really understand. Yx and I decided to walk there anyway. We promptly got lost, walked back to the Animart busstop, missed the bus, and waited 40mins in the blasting cold for the next one. On the way back we passed a greenhouse but the things looked dead and we'd have to wait even longer for the next bus if we got down, so we gave it a pass.
Anyway, after that we went back to State Street for more shopping, I bought myself a nice dragon-shaped incense-holder and a really nice file with the U. Wis logo on it! And some really cute car decals! There's one that says, "I Brake for Tailgaters", and another one, "Save toilet paper - use both sides!" OK, this place is hilarious.
Right, I'm going out to check I really really think dinner should be ready by now. Going out at 9pm for some dancing with the U.Wis Swing Dance Society.
