We attended Ben and Deanne's wedding and reception on Saturday. A lot of Misti's extended family has been in town for the festivities, so it's been fun to see them all again. The combination of Tongan and Basque food at the reception was unique and quite tasty. I liked the raw fish, and the corned beef wrapped in a Taro leaf, while at the same time enjoying the Crème Patissière and garlicy Basque chicken. I also managed to snag some banana jello, but am a little confused at whether that was supposed to be Tongan or Basque... I'll post a photo or two within a few days (of the newlyweds, not of the jello).

Lazy pronounciation test: say the phrase "Little Gift Cottage". Did you properly pronounce the T's, or did you really end up saying "Liddle Giff Coddage"? If you say your T's as D's, then you're using the so-called "flap T" instead. We Americans, it seems, tend to be horribly lazy about our T's, whilst the Brits (and possibly Canadians) say them properly (I guess that's why they always sound so formal).

Just realized today that there are hidden faces embedded throughout the film "Ella Enchanted". Weird, but interesting. Speaking of which, Misti's Aunt Koreen looks just like Hattie (Lucy Punch) in "Ella Enchanted".
