More pictures and more commentary!
I went out to lunch one day with some of my friends in the bank. This was the day we were all wearing our matching batiks in Standard Chartered colors - we look good don't we?!
The Corporate Affairs team in our matching batiks
And Tom and I in our matching batiks!
Playing golf :)
This past weekend Tom and I had quite the cooking marathon!
Gnocchi in tomato sauce, beet and quinoa salad, foccacia, granola, apple pie... whew it was a great day in the kitchen!
Last weekend we went out to a dinner party at the home of some of T&C's friends - the wife is a professional chef so the meal was fantastic! This was the menu!
We played in a Memorial Day golf tournament hosted by the US Embassy - so much fun!
These were part of the goodie bags - SCORE!
Some of the ladies I work with took me to a batik museum where they make batiks! And I got to make one too! So neat! And quite the process - first you drew your pattern onto the cloth...
This was one by someone who is really really good! Isn't it beautiful? Each color means it has been dyed that many times... wow.
Next, you took a wax pencil-like thing and traced all the lines you had drawn in pencil
Then you dyed it!
And boiled it to take the wax off
Ta da!
