I made bacon & egg pastries and Tarte aux Poires yesterday. Well, both tasted good: A.A. already had three out of four pastries I made. BUT photos I took were bad.. so, I can’t up them either blog or my kitchen notes. I wish I had a better camera. Mine is not bad (Power Shot [...]

Memorial Day Weekend
Posted in food, tagged diet, food, nature on May 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Today is Memorial Day and A.A. is hangover again. That means that he wants to have some big breakfast. He wanted to eat Biscuits and Gravy and of course, I didn’t have anything to make this dish. Automatically we had to go to café to get something to go. Then, I decided to have something [...]
Off-leash Parks
Posted in dogs, tagged diet, dog parks on May 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Sophie and Misha (especially Sophie) got so excited when we were almost at off-leash park. Sophie was out of control. Today we decided to go to Military Reserve Off-Leash Park at first. It was right next to car-racing track and it looked kind of dirty. There was neither fence nor grass. After Misha tried to escape [...]
Green Bean Casserole

Here is one of my favorite side dishes, Green Bean Casserole. The recipe is originally from Cook’s Illustrated as I mentioned in my Kitchen Notes. I wanted to make it a little bit more creamy and less oily, so I added sour cream and used 1/3 of fried onions for topping. I have made this dish [...]
It was fun, but…

A.A. and I took Sophie and Misha to Eagle Island State Park today. He wanted to try off-leash and he did. He let them be free.. I didn’t think it was good idea, especially Sophie, because she never came back to us even though we called her name before.
Well, Sophie did very well: she didn’t [...]

It was Saturday today: very hot.. 93℉ this afternoon. We went to vet this morning and I was planning to walk on greenbelt near my work after that, but it was already hot at 11:30 am. So, I waited till this evening while hoping that we could be able to go somewhere late evening, but I decided [...]

On Tuesday, A.A. and I took Sophie and Misha to off-leash park. It was the second time for them: first time was the day before Misha got spayed. There were 6 dogs included male brindle Dane! He was not big as a male Dane, but of course, bigger than Sophie, so she was running away [...]
Happy Mother’s Day!

Today is Mother’s Day. I emailed my mom, but it was probably middle of the night there, or I already missed the day. I wanted to send something to her, but we are always broke, so I didn’t buy anything. I hope she will understand our situation. I have to remind A.A. to call his [...]
Mexican Feast!

On Friday, I made Mexican dishes: Chile Chicken Enchiladas; Guacamole; Salsa; Pico de Gallo; Mexican Rice.
It was quite work, but fun. Everything looked good, but salsa. I made salsa by Cuisinart recipe a little while ago. It looked bad, so as the taste. So, this time, I got a recipe from A.A.’s mom and tried. [...]
Brown Dane & Mastiff

I took Misha to the vet this morning (Wednesday morning), and her staples were removed! As soon as she came home, she started playing with Sophie: their coat was in brown when Sophie knocked the kitchen door.. they must have played with dart or been digging holes at backyard.. Anyway, at least it tells me [...]
