Photo Diary in Food, Mostly, Last Part, I Promise

Well, in less than 12 hours, will be returning home. Doubt I'll get sleep tonight as I haven't even finished packing. Packing schmacking. Mommy!!!

LOL

Kidding, ok!

Well, what can I say, more eating get-together in the last 2 days.

Friday night was spent with friends.

Paella

Sotanghon (Filipino glass noodles)

... among the many many food that night...

Friends who I've known for like half my life now, practically since we moved to Canada. Friends who've gone thru' graduations, promotions, career changes, weddings, funerals, divorces, births... milestones... and who knows what else from here on.

Maybe I'm deluding myself, but I thought we look the same. Ok, maybe not. Maybe a (few) pounds here and there. Hah! Plus, give or take, 10 kids (that night, at least), spread among the group. *sentimental sigh*

Today was again spent with all sides of the family.

Started with dimsum.

I wish I can tell you this was done deliberately. A picture of empty plates to signify the end of a meal, the end of a trip... Maybe we'll just leave it at that... heehee...

One of the best, if not THE best, mango pudding I've had

Then, one last visit to the in-laws.

Then, one more family dinner at this Vietnamese restaurant.

Pho

... and its accoutrements...

And gotta have the rolls, of course...

And as I really should go finish my packing now, leaving with thoughts of this--

Blueberry ricotta-filled cannoli

... as I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again...
