Coconut milk, Dad losing his brother, Kaili, Jasmine, and June 2011 BBT Tally

Discovered that my coconut milk expired yesterday, so sought to make the Garlic Alfredo Spaghetti. After a very quick MSN conversation with Teunis, he seemed to think that he was going home after work barring unusual circumstances, and so could make things with this coconut milk as a substitute for regular milk in recipes. Well, that'll be good if it happens! He did come home and start looking in a Thai cookbook, so that's promising. (and later made tapioca pudding with coconut milk, and coconut rice) Mary also unfriended me on Facebook, but perhaps she's busy too.

Also called Dad to do the polite thing upon the loss of his brother from intestinal cancer, who was only five or six years older than he was. Apparently, one of Dad's nieces emailed him to tell him the news, although Dad had only seen him a few times in the forty years since he's been here in Canada. Then Mom wanted to know whether "Teunis" was a made-up name (it's apparently been in his family for 800-1000 years), how he liked his job, how he GOT to said job (not in a taxi - and transit is unfortunately NOT an option!), and whether we were going to the Steveston Salmon Festival on Friday. Teunis and I also discussed my supposed jealousy of Kaili (HAH!) and his hanging out with "a friend" - I knew he was hanging out with that bitch Jasmine as soon as he said "Scrabble." I don't approve, especially as he JUST hung out with her two weeks ago while she was feeling suicidal. MEN!
