Chilly Day Hot Pot


We learned from our past hotpot events to use two different outlet sources to avoid blowing the circuit  We were professional and duct tapped the extension cables to avoid an asian Final Destination fiasco.



My favorite part about the hot pot was that the vegetarians brought there own pot!  Everything was already chopped and ready to go!  My favorite type of vegetarian: prepared!  No wait, my real favorite vegetarian is the non-existant.  But this will suffice.



We had a bomb-ass sause station set up.  Everything from eggs, chinese bbq sauce, peanut sauce, ponzu, sesame oil - you name it.  And barley tea!




Every time it's someone's birthday I find something in the house, stick a candle in it and make everyone sing.  I found mochi ice cream!  Happy birthday Ben!



New faces!  Alysia has a man now who was totally digging the gay scene.  He described it as strange to be in a room full of dudes without any sort of alpha male energy.  No worries there!  Though watch out for the girls fighting for the crown for miss sass of 2012.

And Jimmy from Houston - texas gaysians.  That's another pocket.  Jimmy had a little culture shock being in a room full of diverse asians, he admited to usually seeing one ethnic group at a time. The fact that there were indonesians to koreans all there was alien.

And Sam's room is the usual after food game room.



All of my face recognition programs are confused by these two:



 No deaths, everyone full and no longer shivering from cold LA nights!  Dude, it almost hit 60 degrees at night!  ;)  Nothing like dipping your raw meat into a communal pot of boiling seasonings.

Rainy Day Hot Pot

February 19:

Jimmy had the brilliant idea of having a hotpot event for a rainy day Friday.  We just wanted to invite some eastsiders but all of a sudden it became a party.


We were more prepared this time.
1. Extension cable to use the outlet in the hallway so not to short circuit (again)
2. No more bowls, no problem - STARBUCKS CUPS!
3. Invite more Chinese people to do the cooking... correction, FIERCE Chinese people.  That's right stir that broth

Mmm lots of meat and veggies and soju.

It got a little steamy.

It was a nice impromptu kick back with lots of good food and vibes.  Good thing people brought meat, it was supposed to be a party for 10.  Lol




Watch the progression of the night - food, soju, dancing, karaoke... pass out.

Don't mind my voice I had it on "SIREN" that night.  And what to do with the 5 trays of extra meat?  I'll tell you un momento.
