Cooking with Fred

2000, Cooking & Baking, Hangouts, , ,

This is the next day. I was playing with a toy where you try to get the heavy thing to swing up and land on the peg. I had just won it here.

Here is Fred, exceedingly happy that he had finally managed to win with the toy. 🙂

We went to the store to get some ingredients for our cooking exploits. This is me outside Fred’s car–the one he drove from California to Michigan (school) and later down to Florida to visit me!

I’m putting away the eggs. Thrilling, innit?

We are preparing to cook honey cakes. Here is me with tools of the trade.

Fred developed a hobby of playing my keyboard while at my house. Here is him doing so.

Got to visit San Francisco, the Golden Gate bridge, and the Pacific Ocean on the Winter Solstice, and then we did a Yuletide ritual together.

Visiting Fred in San Jose! We made wassail with cider, apples, and our own spices in a tea ball, and made crescent cakes for the full moon.

Anime Weekend Atlanta – Saturday

1999, Cosplay, Vacations,

My first anime cosplay! I’m Little Washu from Tenchi Muyo. I had a wig that I was trying to dye pink but I ruined it, so I just had to be a blond Washu.

Other cosplayers from my same anime were there! I didn’t know them but I got a picture.

(Yes I had the cute little Washu robots on my shoulders.)

My Washu Costume

Here was someone dressed as the main character of the anime I was from:

And here are a couple of cosplayers who were dressed as characters from animes I liked.
