My first cousin once removed got married over the weekend. And that's as far as I understand in terms of English kinship terminology... maybe because I'm unaccustomed to it, but it's too confusing. Like... my mom's first cousin's kid is my second cousin... I think. Okay, my head hurts. I'm just going to keep calling my newly-married first cousin once removed biu gu, as I always have.

The food was okay. I can never understand how abalone is such a delicacy. The wedding cake was too sweet and uninspired. I swear I'm not a foodie! But I've tried regular cake and pie that is more delicious. At our table, we emptied nearly every dish, but around us, lots of plates were still full and they asked for the waiters to bag them up. Methinks they deliberately did it to get free food.

Now I have even more white relatives by marriage. (Though more distant this time around.)

And the bubonic plague is in Denver o_o

Sounds like a grand and sweeping general statement, but I think it's true. I love the dry, crumbly Parmesan along with the soft, crumbly farmer's cheese; from the off-white mozarella to the blue-veined Roquefort. Cottage cheese, Brie, Camembert, Cheddar (mild and sharp), Cheddar Jack, Muenster, Asiago, Pecorino, Fontina, Ricotta, Colby, Monterey Jack, Feta, Provolone, Gorgonzola, cream cheese, Swiss, and more -- I have not eaten a cheese I haven't liked, although who knows if that one variety is out there, waiting for me to hate it since there are hundreds, if not thousands, of varieties from all over the world. I am not a cheese connoisseur by any means, I just loves my cheeses.
