This morning, I woke up, and for a second I really thought it was Saturday! I thought I’d set my alarm by mistake; I even started to think of what I wanted to do. Soooo disappointed. Hot chocolate for breakfast to make up for it! Actually this is the first time since Trader [...]
Trader Joe’s is Evil. OMG, I don’t know how my sister goes to Trader Joe’s all the time. A new one just opened nearby and we went and you know what we bought? Chocolate covered cherries, chocolate covered blueberries, and chocolate covered espresso beans. And in fact, if memory serves me [...]
There are two new tart frozen yogurt places in Berkeley — that I know of — for a total of five tart frozen yogurt places and at least seven frozen yogurt places total (tart and sweet alike). It’s madness! I’m not complaining, mind, but I’m just shocked that there is this much market [...]
My sister and mother are visiting this weekend. They got in last night after a bit of a nightmarish plane ride (skipping the grisly details, basically it was delayed flight, missed connection, lost luggage). So we take them to a good Mexican place that’s walking distance from home and the little motel/inn they’re [...]
We like to try and cook something new or complicated (or both) together on Valentine’s Day instead of presents and yadayada I don’t know what. Not that we do it every year — some years we don’t feel like it, some years we can’t think of something we want to cook. Actually the [...]
Had my first Starbucks tea latte finally, soy vanilla rooibos. Not bad! Not as good as the tea lattes at Coffee Bean, but pretty good. It’s nice to have more options than just the chai tea latte that they had before. (At the Coffee Bean, I’m partial to their English breakfast tea [...]
Happy New Year! I think we celebrate New Year’s (and birthdays, incidentally) by drunk dialing/texting people. Lovely, no? :)
I meant to post more than I did in December, I really did, but work got so busy and then I went to visit the family in MD, and dude we stayed up late all [...]
Soooo… I’m not sure if this is true, but I feel like every time I hang out with the nephew (5) and the niece (2) I catch something. Even if they’re not sick! Cos kids are disease vectors! Yut says it’s just me, cos he never gets sick, the punk.
Anyways, so yeah, [...]
Just wanted to say Happy (early) Thanksgiving! We’re doing the turkey this year, Trader Joe’s All Natural something or other, hopefully delicious. :)
Speaking of Thanksgiving, PETA’s come out with an unofficial Cooking Mama game.
Play the full size version on PETA.org.
Not quite as good as Cooking Mama, but waaaaay crazier. It’s v. PETA [...]
As soon as all of my cousins were free on Friday when we got to MD, we all got together to eat. (I would say, “what else?!” except of course there’s always card playing, cross-eye inducing amounts of card playing.) CT suggested China Bistro (755 Hungerford Dr 301.294.0808), a little hole in the wall [...]
