I’ve finished reading Pet by Alwaele Emezl (a brilliant book) and almost finished re-reading The Chase by Kristine Katherine Rusch.

Wednesday zoo party had some of the best food I’ve ever eaten at any event! Example—three different hors d’oeuvres followed by a salad they were calling Mexican Citrus Salad. It had nine different ingredients. Queso fresco and toasted pepitas being two of them. Main meal was seared flatiron steak topped with coriander chimichurri and salsa macha. Best of all were the potatoes! AKA potato pave. And for dessert, salted caramel tres leches (with other good stuff on top)

Heaven! Except for the strong cold wind that buffeted us coming and going.

Ambassador animals were a lovely little sloth and a big lizard on a leash. (FYI I had written “lizard on a leach, and then lizard on a leech” before I realized it wasn’t right!!!

We sat with a Neiman-Marcus top executive and three other lovely ladies whose husbands (and them, of course) help make sure the San Antonio Zoo has the money it needs.

Gorillas coming to the San Antonio Zoo! Eight of them.
