Inspired by @suzerain.bsky.social's post about meeting David Bowie, here's my encounter with Lauren Bacall.

Back in '98 or '99, there was an event by the Chicago IFF honouring Lauren Bacall.

I was a volunteer and met her in the ladies.

Ate Kenyan food for the first time.

The dish I ordered was bean fried rice with salad. The beans and rice were served in different containers.

It's tasty enough.

Bought a healthy chicken sandwich from a sandwich shop for 5.75euro.

Lady making it had a baby in her arms, sitting by the entrance. When I stepped up to the counter, she put her baby down in a cot at the back.

Op shop, aka 2ndhand shop, visit. One can find all sorts of stuff here.

Most items on sale are in relative good condition and very reasonable pricing.

First attempt making gluten-free choc chip cookies with almond flour.

Not quite crispy even after it's been in the fridge.

Need to find a different recipe to try again.

On the flip side, cookie dough is yummy!

A wonderful find at a secondhand shop.

Perfect for my art and craft supplies!
