[quote=briansd1]navydoc, parties are your house sound really fun.
You can host weddings at your house complete with Lao square dancing. I have Lao friends too and I love papaya salad with sticky rice and beef jerky.[/quote]
They are fun Brian, and my wife and I were married in her parents’ family room with >200 people in attendance. 650 people at the reception at the Scottish Rite Hall in Mission Valley. I’d love to host something like that for a niece or nephew (possibly even my own daughter!). The papaya salad my wife’s family makes might have the blood from one of the Aliens creatures in it. It is so hot I’ve been worried it would burn a hole in the table. Sweet sticky rice and mangos are one of my favorite desserts.
It was immediately apparent how important family was to my wife on our first date. It was Thanksgiving at her house. Seventy-five people, and almost none of them were speaking English. I didn’t care, I was an intern at the time and didn’t want to be alone on Thanksgiving.
I’m glad you understand now BG, the space will most certainly NOT go to waste.
Oh, and to relate to FLU’s week-in-review post, I’ve never left Piggington’s. I read this blog on my lunch break every single day, and have since we moved to Maryland.
