Dachshund is Not Invited


Coworkers were trying to schedule an event that all our family members can join us...

After months discussion, we finally had a BBQ on the 27th. One USA Unit and I took Laplace, the kitty boss, with us. When we got the travel bag out, the dachshund insisted to sit in there (ok...he's black and tan, mostly black, so you can't really see him in the photo, but he's there). We eventually needed to kind of dump him out from the bag, and put the cat in. 

Too bad that neither of our dogs are super friendly...we are not comfortable letting them run freely at the party, especially at the event with many kids.

Giraffe's house is very cool!!!!!! My hope is my company dramatically increase my salary, so that I can afford the similar house in downtown. 

About Laplace, it was sad that he didn't get to meet his potential girlfriend - Goose, Giraffe's kitty. I think he will have to go again, and hopefully he will be able to meet his future girlfriend and also make friend with K & JGiraffe's kids :D

Simple Dinner - 07/20/2013


I enjoy cooking. I'd never really cook when I was in Taiwan, because there's always food anywhere and any time. I've started to cook more a year after I moved to United States - - I moved out of dorm and lived with a Malaysian girl and a Japanese girl. A fun fact, most of foreign student I know didn't know how to cook when we were back home, and we all magically start cooking after we moved to United States.

Anyway, 7/20's dinner - Pork Curry, Fried Egg, Pan Fried Vegetables

Art of Omelette



Once in a while, I'd like to make omelette as late night snack. On July 7th, I made Spinach Kale Tofu Omelette :) The fun thing of making an omelette is throwing it in the air to flip it :D :D :D it was a successful flip :D

七月七號的宵夜是蔬菜豆腐蛋。煎蛋的過程中,我最喜歡的就是翻面啦!

Tokyo Banana


Back in June (I think lol), Yiching & John brought back some treats for us from Japan! Thanks for their sweet thoughts...I've been wanting to try Tokyo Banana for a loooooooong time, and I finally got to taste it. It's so yummy and it looks super cute!

Bionaire BW2300 Twin Window Fan Review


We bought a new fan - Bionaire BW2300 Twin Window Fan with Remote Control. It was a good buy. We need something that can fit on our window that can get cool air into our room during middle of the night. This project is easy to put on/take off from the window, and it comes with a remote control. As always, whatever we purchased, Boss Kat had to inspect it for a while.

We bought it from Amazon
Price: $54.99

Happy Birthday, America!
It's nice to be with you for another year.
Let's hope for a better immigration system in the future.

Cheers!

Love,

Vegas Trip

We stopped by Vegas again! Yes, second time within 10 months. Truthfully, we think we were crazy because there's not much for us to do there besides eating and walking around. Nothing really changes there within 10 months lol 4 days 3 nights trip was way more than enough there. 

We stayed in Aria like last time since we both like to stay at newer hotel and we both had positive experience at Aria last time. This time is much cooler actually - we got to stay at 32nd floor instead of 8th floor. We had better view and we weren't in the corner of the building that it's easier for us to access the elevator.

We went to Wicked Spoon like last time, and it's still good like before. I like their food, the way they display the food. Overall, I would say it's a better deal than the buffet in Aria, Bellagio, and MGM.

Anyway, it was fun to take a short trip with One USA Unit. Next trip, we want to go to New York, Boston, Chicago, or Tokyo :)

A Month Without You

Dear Torison, It's been a month without you. I think of you a lot, especially when I do things in the kitchen. No one helps me pick up ...
