blue crab cake & spinach artichoke dip

We were going to meet TNT at CPK for lunch. We had ordered appetizers but they still didn't show up. When I called, they had canceled on us. :(

The crab cakes were really good.
My chicken milanese was also tasty and it was portioned out for 3.

We went to Underhill to look at some furniture when we remodel the kitchen and TV room in Jan. Looks like it won't start till sometime in Jan and we're probably looking at 2 months.

Back it up!

I take pictures, photographic pictures

We went to see Beowulf at Imax in 3D. I have to say that i did not get a headache and at times you forget you're wearing them. The last time I was here was to watch Spiderman 3, which was a total let down. Not to mention I was in a cast and walking down the path took forever and I had to stop a few times.

This was a great action movie if you're into that. Too bad it was all CGI as i think it would have been killer if it was live with CGI like LOTR.

It's one of Garbage's song. So does a bloody piece of toilet paper used to blow my nose constitute as ART?

bored?

nothing more fun than reading these :)

tutta bella

appetizer and pizza. The marinated mushrooms and hot peppers were delicious! The pizza crust was too soggy for me. Serious Pie so far has the best crust in town.

Cannoli and tiramisu. Why do i bother. The only cannoli i liked was in North Hampton's Joe's. A dive of a restaurant but the only cannoli i've ever savored! Same goes with Tiramisu, never been my favorite.
mmmmmmmmmmmm. maybe not so much.
The bill and our view of Space needle.

This Tutta Bella is their 3rd location in the city @ the 2200 Block (right on Denny).

this is a photo from solutionsoap i found on Flickr. It's not mine! I've been wanting a french bulldog but I know they would be way too high maintenance with the 2 birds and all.

So I guess I'll just be admiring them through other people's photos!

i think it's cute how rocco perches on Neil's shirt and sometimes falls asleep in that position.

Bellevue Botanical Garden

I've been enjoying going to the BBG as the season changes and it seems there's always something new and in need of a photo op. Today, they were setting up th holiday lights that will be lighting up the eve after thanksgiving. We should all make it a point to go. I think Tanner and Tyler would get a kick out of all the pretty lights! I've never been and I think it would be fun to take night pictures as I have never had an opportunity.

Thanks to some of my new found Flickr friends, I've been learning to take better photos and use some photo processing programs to "tweak" them. Let me know what you think :)

Darjeeling Ltd.

What I like about this or any Wes movie is that it's like "splenda". Taste good, it's sweet, but really it's not like real. It was a cute film but his stylized filming can get a bit annoying. It's all so calculated and rehearsed that when I watch it, I feel like it's not spontaneous. And WTF was Jason doing barefeet the entire movie?

Don't get me wrong, I thought it was a nice film and some pleasant moments. The scenes of India were beautiful and amazing but I never felt their relationship was anything more than superficial.

Go see "Dan in Real Life"

Has anyone heard of schmap? So anyone, this lady from flickr emails me and asks if they could use my picture and I said of course. No $ but recognition only. Who cares, use it ! :)

So I just received word today that they did include my photo. The calamari from capital grille. I have to say that it was so mean calamari. So good! :) And the best waiter in town!

A new place to dine. Oriental spoon.
It's in Factoria (Loehman's plaza) next to starbucks/subway.

The cashier was a ditz cuz she didn't place our california roll but oh well. The bulgogi beef was sweet and very tasty. It came with miso soup. I really liked the spicy seafood udon. 2 clams, a few calamari, 3 shrimps, but lots of oyster mushrooms. The broth was very savory.

Give it a try.

Kabob Palace

we went to this kabob place right across Seoul Hot Pot. Neil loved it. I thought it as OK. I still think Naan and Curry is the best in town.

Check out Neil's Flickr for photos. :)

Dan in Real Life

So I kinda knew before watching it that it was going to be some kinda of love drama but I was pleasantly surprised at how much Neil and I loved this movie. It has romance, comedy, love, and happiness. Definitely a chic flic but such a good one! It's a good movie and the soundtrack is unbelievably good!

DEXTER

Rented 3Disc Dexter season 1. So there was Weeds and now you have to watch DEXTER. Why? Cuz it's twisted, it's got amazing acting, and the plot thickens with every show. I think Hiram will really dig it.

I really like the opening sequence. The macro, intentions, and how well executed the scenes are is just amazing. On a side note, watch an episode of PUSHING DAISIES and I will bet that they will win BEST SET and STAGE if that is a category.

So watch it!

Have some ginko. I've been playing with Adobe Lightroom program. Download it for free from Adoba and use it for 30 days. Take any of your photo and make it better.

I joined a Flickr group where other Flickr members upload a RAW unedited image and other members get to process it.

We had dim sum with the Village and Teri and then dinner at the Village where Danny made his bread salad. Neil said it wasn't as good as last time. Well, it's because he forgot the shaven parmesian cheese and by the time Neil mentioned it, I already ate all of mine. Lily made some yummy clam pasta and we got Costco Cupcakes. Huge and moist.

Why no pics? Danny has them all on his camera!

Insomnia

Are you kidding me? I want Ikue to tell me what's going on???

This is what happens when you can't sleep and wake up at 3 0r 6 every morning.

Kung Ho dinner

spicy chicken
noodles
spicy ginger beef

Spent the afteroon watching Tyler and Tanner play Wii. Tanner KO Tyler 2x on boxing. Tyler needs to improve his hand/eye coordination.
But it sure makes watching him play fun.

:)

Danny and who?

Danny and who?, originally uploaded by awungfoo.

We like Ivy's new do. Danny doesn't. We had dinner tonight at Seoul Hot Pot. It was good and authetic! Luckily, Danny made reservation because there was a line waiting at the door. The tofu soup was bubbly hot and they offered to add an egg and crumpled nori at the table. The potato pancake was really good and not too oily. I really liked the kalbi, just the right amount of fat w/o being too marble.
