Night of Tuesday, Oct 2nd, 2012 - Chris Pirazzi & Varonica Tang (唐佩)

 

Varonica fixed us Mapo Tofu for dinner.  Sichuan spice is often "Ma La" => Ma () = Numb & La () = Spicy which is quite unique from other spices.  She used special Chinese Sichuan peppercorn (花椒) hand carried directly from China for us, they were uniquely "numbing" and spicy at the same time.  Wikipedia says the numbing is caused by "3% of hydroxy-alpha-sanshool".  VERY good, very interesting.  The white dish in the picture below is a potato dish called  "Potato with Vinegar" possibly Chinese name is 醋溜土豆丝.

The finished decorations Jim was preparing in the cherry picker.

 

Below it shows the sign I left asking that the party not spill onto my upper deck (I allowed the party to use the entire guestroom I rent below), and you can see I tied up the gates to further discourage party goers from entering.  Well, about 10 minutes after I left for the weekend, they untied this gate, took the sign down, and moved the party into my private upper deck area.  Plus they moved my cameras, which meant I had to return from Los Gatos to fix the cameras, and found people sleeping on the deck.  I felt taken advantage of.
