Not quite neighbours.
21 March 2006
Dan has moved uptown. And while 181st Street in Washington Heights doesn't exactly make him my neighbour, it is a whole lot closer by than all of my friends who live out int Brooklyn. He had a vegan pie-themed housewarming this evening. (It was originally scheduled for last Tuesday, 3/14 in American-style dates. Keep in mind that he's a math geek.) I spent the better part of the morning making a vegan blueberry cheesecake. But, as it happens, I don't seem to be in possession of all the pieces of my blender, which left the filling not quite as smooth as it should have been, which caused it not to set quite as well as I would have liked. Although it did set better than Dan's attempt at a lemon meringue.
Despite the non-alcohol nature of the event, and the fact that tonight's a weeknight, he got about as good a turnout as my original uptown housewarming. And since I moved to Inwood, it was the shortest trip home that I've ever enjoyed after a party that wasn't at my house.
