Summary
Cleaning continues, gf says “It’s not that much.” But… I DID post some stuff for sale! Met up with a few old colleagues. How are they doing? -Off to the Friendship Store (?) -Ate at Carbo, a pasta-ria -Then to DuLi for dessert but they didn’t have anything worth sticking around for -So off to Jenny Wang’s supermarket (a knock off of Jenny Lou’s?) for ice cream And is fois gras now a thing in China? Is this why Blue Frog introduced it a while back? Kinda makes me wonder, why can’t you start a business in China? Well, what great idea do you have?
