oh there's a hummingbird singing
this morning, i went out to clip some branches and this cute little hummer buzzed around me the whole time clicking away. I've never heard them make any noises but they click their beaks. I walked back inside after a few minutes and decided to come back out w/ the camera to see if it was still around. He was! So I took a few pics and I think he got the clue that I wasn't going to give him any nectar and he probably thought, "What?! I waited around for this!? A photo-op!" See ya and he flew away!

spazzos
finally had the chance to dine here tonight.
made reservations online, how cool is that?
The hostess was an idiot but the staff and food was good.
my frutti de mare was a nice surprise with the addition of creamy polenta at the base.
dessert was good but nothing i haven't had before.

red mango
www.redmangousa.com
w
of course, I was in the mall taking pictures and the girl behind the counter says to me..sorry we don't allow photographers or something of that sort. It's not like I haven't seen photos of their store and inside on Flickr and everywhere else. Like helloooo...there's 2 yogurt machines and a counter with toppings....
The yougurt was actually good and the toppings very fresh. The mango sucks because it's NOT ripe and you just can't beat fresh tree ripen mango from Hawaii.
Besides being told that I couldn't take photos (HELLO get a clue, I take pics in restaurants all the time!) and this location is flanked by glass on 2 sides so you can see in! Whatever!
Where was I? Oh the yougurt. The small size was actually pretty big and i think they charge per topping.
eat sushi smile more
we met up with our friends Minh and Nghuy (i can't remember her name) NEW eeeee....anyway. We met them at Blue C Sushi after we already ate and they gave us 2 iPod Shuffles. I already have an iPod and Neil really wanted the iPod Nano in Blue so we exchanged the 2 for 1.
This is Neil's first apple product. I hope he loves it. I gotta admit that the nano is coool for it's size. You just want to get it in every color! :)

12 days of christmas
www.trophycupcakes.com
it's a hit or miss. if it's fresh, it's really good. I really like the bite size ones. Barney's had them at their counter a week ago when we went there to check things out. On a side note, I was surprised to see almost the entire store on sale. Crazy. I've never been impressed with the staff at Barney's (seattle). NYC yes, Seattle, no.

bitter melon with pork in black bean chili sauce
for tonight's meal. Black bean bitter melon with pork. Neil marinated the pork in some sesame seed something so the flavor was a bit off but still good. Neil picked up the bamboo shoots and I haven't had those in years! They're sooo good on rice!

wii bowling
these kids are better at it than me. They get such a thrill playing! Look at them jumping up and down and flaying their arms like mad!
4 plates
Old country buffet w/ teri and tanner. The fried chicken was good and crunchy. Everything else was not so good. The coconut cupcake was extremely moist and chocolately. yum yum.

thread leaf
i didn't like this at all until i darkened the background and made drastic changes. now it looks cool. :)
maple leaf
just playing around w/ software program. It's kinda ironic that you can take a photo that you don't really like and make it kinda cool.

ps i love you
I'm reading Atonement and PS I love You. Both are made into movies and I'm hoping that they are both as good as the book.
In case you haven't noticed, I'm a big diptych fan. Diptychs are 2 photos spliced together and Flickr has some really cool ones. I really like the ones that depict sayings like "head over heels" "time after time" etc...you get the idea.
This past winter storm is doing some damage to retailers. No one is going out and a lot of people can't get to their destination and people are staying in. A lot has to do with the stupid media which hypes everything up and uses scare tactics to increase their viewership. They don't care what it does to the rest of us.
Do your part and go out and support the economy!
SHOP AWAY!

wholesome goodness
i've been having quaker oats oatmeal for breakfast but i switched over to costco's house label kirkland organic oatmeal. it's less sugary and taste very organic and clean, not artificial like quaker oats.

taj palace
For a buffet, I have to say that I was impressed at the quality of the food. fresh, delicious, creamy, spicy, and the naan is made fresh and brought to the table. The vegetarian aloo gobi was soooo good.

It's Dec 1st, and it started to snow. It was snowing pretty hard this morning and then it stopped. We had lunch w/ Teri & Tanner @ Taj Palace. Really good for a buffet.
Stopped by Circuit City and then it started to snow again. It's been a few hours and it's still snowing...
Happy December everyone!
