Friday Five!

When was the last time you…

1. …sent a handwritten letter?
I wrote one to Hannibal Lector. As a response to this apologizing for the guests\’ rudeness. Okay, so I still shower late in the morning. And by the way, Yeh are you still up for it? :p
As for a real letter, the last one was when I wrote to Naim. :D I still have some stuff left to use!

2. …baked something from scratch or made something by hand?
From scratch? *laughs* Eh, that must have been a long time, since I haven\’t gotten the patience to do it for awhile. My cooking phase started in middle school and died by the end of high school. Fried rice is the most recent thing I can think of. If you can count that. As for making something from scratch, aha! CREPES. I made that during winter break with my sister. They\’re good. They take practice to make in a good shape. Reminds me, I need to get powder sugar…

If anybody is interested, the recipe is this (I copied it from somewhere, but I am too lazy to find the source):

4 eggs
1 cup flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons melted butter

Measure all ingredients in to blender jar; blend for 30 seconds. Scrape down sides. Blend for 15 seconds more. Cover and let sit for 1 hour. (This helps the flour absorb more of the liquids.)
Makes 12-14 crepes.

3. …camped in a tent?
A tent? ME?! Seriously. :p I have slept in a cabin with only a stove for heat…during girl scouts. The last time I did that was…probably…uh. Sixth grade? I am not even sure. I know we slept in a cabin about two miles away from my house. And we also went to Half Moon Bay.

4. …volunteered your time to church, school, or community?
I actually would have participated in circle k at Berkeley, but I was too lazy to do anything. And besides, social anxiety was hitting me hard. The last time that I can distinctly remember was when I volunteered at the local food bank. Both the one in Concord and the one in Oakland. In January, I did it for the 20 hours of punishment. Then I kept Sri company while he did his own 20 hours of punishment. I think I was too nice.
If you count this time, then maybe I did kinda volunteered…

5. …helped a stranger?
Me generous? Only with my time. Maybe it was in class yesterday when the guy in class asked me what the instructor just said. I said, \”Logic gates.\” Oh and how I sometimes stop at the crosswalk while driving to let the pedestrians go across first. That does count…right?
