For the past few days, Ethan and I have be fortunate enough to be the recipients of Rosa’s delicious cooking. She invited over for dinner on Friday night and she made a scrumptious chicken pasta dish. Many of the WT volunteers came over to participate in a fantasy football draft. Though only a few people new much about football, the group took turns picking players and forming their rosters. Ethan formed a team based on players with cool names and Brenden's (the football encyclopedia) advice. After a night of football, we decided to go out to the Bowling Alley. Drew desperately wanted to get out of the house, so we headed there at 10pm despite knowing the crowd doesn’t arrive until midnight. Basically, the Bowling Alley just became another venue to hold our group of palagis as we talked. Just after midnight when we could tell the place wasn’t going to get much more crowded, we called it a night. We promised to return to the Mesepa house (my old home) the next day, as Rosa wanted to through a feast.
Rosa is Jewish and wanted to celebrate Rosh Hashanah. She cooked a mid-afternoon feast of spinach and cheese on pancakes (YUM!), chicken, potatoes, rice, stuffing, and dessert. Mmm it was good. I’m glad Rosa likes to cook and entertain..... as I most definitely can’t figure my way around a kitchen.
On a side note: Rosa and April live in my house from last year. Except it has now turned into a mini WT compound, as Drew and Bret live in the front house that used to be occupied by a tiny, frail, old man. It’s kind of strange hanging out in “my house”... that isn’t really my house anymore. It definitely makes it a comfortable and familiar place to be, though it looks different as we had made it our own by decorating the walls with Samoan carved weapons and siapo paintings.
