Tonight I had dinner at the Little Sisters of the Poor's French Food Festival. I ran into Sr Joseph Marie, and we talked about a girl in my church's youth group who's interested in the order. Of course I ate tasty, tasty noms. Also did some shopping for Mother's Day and B's B-day at the Sisters' booth, where they were selling things like pot holders, bags, bibs, and dishtowels, all handmade by the Sisters and residents. Other booths had homemade jams and jellies, desserts, wines, and food. Plus there was a whole area for kids with face painting, a moon bounce, and other fun stuffs! Next year I'll have to get my family to come along! ^_^

My dinner -- salmon and spinach in a lobster sauce. Delicious! There was wine, too, but it was too dry for my taste so I only had a few sips :P
