Domestipithecus

…in Southern California.

Last night looked like this here:

It hailed and it stuck around for a while on the ground. It’s supposed to get down to 40 degrees tonight and is currently just below 60 degrees. Yeah, yeah, I know I’m a big baby, but that’s freakin COLD for this area.

In other news, the coconut milk ice creams were yummy. Mr. Pithecus liked the coconut flavor one the best and I liked the chocolate peanut butter swirl. You can taste the coconut in the background, but it was fine because I think it went well.

Mr. Pithecus and I went to a Thai place with his dad on Tuesday. They are not a veg place, but they are very accommodating (just ask for no fish sauce or eggs in anything) . We had the yellow curry (the BEST yellow curry I have ever had), drunken noodles, fried rice and oh so yummy sticky rice with mango. Well, I dislike mango, but the coconut cream and sticky rice is SOOOO good.
Curry and fried rice (sorry we had already started in when I remembered to take pictures):

That’s the drunken noodles in the background - here they are in their own shot:

Yum-MAY!

Also finished knitting a little bunny for a little boy’s 1st birthday. Benny’s Bunny:

Fuzzy bunny butt:

I’ll be back later this week to post things from my sister-in-law’s engagement party. I forgot to bring my camera with me, but I took pictures of all the stuff I made.

Boo and I headed south for a friend’s birthday gathering on Saturday. We took this as an opportunity to go to one of our most favorite veg places to eat. Papillon in El Segundo.

I used to go there at least once a week for lunch when I worked in town. Now that I’m an hour away on the wonderful Los Angeles freeways, I don’t get there as often.

Boo and I had dinner there after he proposed to me. And there we were, 2 years to the day from our first date and only 2 weeks until we tie the knot. We got all sappy and looking into each other’s eyes cheesy. BUT, I was still able to take some photos of our delicious food!

First we had the veggie fried wontons - these are soooo good we could have just orderd a few orders of this!

Then we had the nummy veg Hot and Sour soup.

And our main course was the House Special Tofu. This is our most favorite dish there. We love a lot of stuff but oh my this wins hands down. It was extra hot that night (the dish, not the temperature) and we like it that way. Of course, it was offset by the yummy brown rice.

We were going to split a Halo-halo for dessert but decided against it. Next time
