A Bug's Life

There was a book exchange today, T and I went along with a couple of big bags of books (and I returned later with another couple) and came home with five new books each (including a Michael Chabon I've wanted to read for a while). The remains from the exchange go to the Amnesty bookstore up the road. Nice idea, it was a bit sparse when we turned up just after it opened, but an hour later the tables were fuller.

I went to Cho Mee grocery looking for some sort of wheat-free sauce to go with crispy duck (got plum sauce), looked plaintively at the chilled mochi and fish balls (contain small amounts of dairy), and went delving in the freezers at the back of the shop for the first time. Frozen mochi and fish balls have no wheat or dairy and I am nomming on red bean paste rice balls. Goopy. Delicious. Nom.
