Lovin' From the Oven, Buddy's Birthday Breakfast and a Wedding.

Today I passed around a price list for my baked goods at work. Hiding it just in case my Super was lurking about. Many people seemed to like the idea. Chess was very enthusiastic about it and kept throwing ideas at me (for this Sunday's Super Bowl), I welcomed the suggestions but told him that I'm not doing anything fancy at this point. Dino ordered some Oatmeal Raisin and Chocolate Chip cookies. 'melia ordered a dozen Chocolate Chip cookies for her spa weekend next week with all the department managers. Marie placed an order for 2 dozen Peanut Butter cookies and LM wanted a dozen Chocolate Chip cookies. I guess the order forms Carlos gave me for Christmas came in handy afterall. Not bad but I'm a bit apprehensive about it because I've been so lazy and uninspired lately. Now that I don't have any exams to study for, I feel kind of out of place and out of my mind, what to do with all this free time? Time will tell.

Buddy turned 14-years old on Saturday the 24th. She requested to go to dim sum at CBS Seafood in Chinatown. Goober brought her friend AND her fancy justice-balance pin. It was a rainy morning but we got there just in time before the weekend breakfast rush. So without further ado, here are some pictures from that glorious morning when I realized just how old I'm getting.

Place setting

Ha Gow

Pork Ribs with black bean sauce
Shui Mai

Steamed Shrimp Noodles OUR favorite

Gai Bao (Chicken buns)

Ham Sue Gok - Buddy's favorite. We got some nice homemade ones later that same day from our neighbor.
Custard pastry - Nick Nack's favorite

Later that night JMK and I went to Lin's sister-in-law's wedding. Dinner was delicious. Chicken breast stuffed with spinach and mushrooms were accompanied by mashed potatoes, green beans, baby carrot and yellow squash. The person at our table who ordered the vegetarian meal left before dinner so we passed her plate around and everyone just picked something off of it.


The wedding cake was gorgeous but I'm not a big cake fan so it didn't do much for me. It was Neapolitan flavor and the servers butchered the poor thing.

Intro

Hi folks! I'm starting this blog because I want to keep my sanity now that I'm done with school, share my many food pictures, recipes, experiences, and thoughts, and I'm trying to get all these pictures off my cell phone. Hope you enjoy it!
