Dinner at Thai Garden

,

This is the most authentic Thai restaurant in the area. I read about it and had wanted to try it for sometime. I could not find it initially knowing only the street name, forgetting that it is a long street and without memorizing the restaurant name. But then I got to hear about how good it is again on my way when I stopped to ask around about it. It was a long trip, but it turns out to be worthwhile.

There, simple as that!

Let me be clear. I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments, but rather as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations.

I am red pumpkin

You Are a Red Pumpkin

You are beautiful, interesting, and bold. You may not stand out immediately, but you're the type of person who gets a lot of double takes.
You believe life's too short to do anything you hate. There's so many things to love in the world, and you try to fill your life full of them.

You have a heart for adventure and a passion for travel. Even if can't visit some place new for a while, you still remain curious about the world.
You find it easy to be excited and optimistic about new things. You are fearless and believe that everything will work out in the end.

Adding orange to gray

,

What best can you do on a depressive gray October day in west coast Canada? Buy a live crab, stir-fry it with ginger and green onion, and have a feast.

Both dungeness crabs and wild chum salmons are cheap in October, but I prefer crab anytime.

For Freedom

“生命诚可贵
爱情价更高
若为自由故
两者皆可抛”












"Liberty, love!
These two I need.
For my love I will sacrifice life.
For liberty I will sacrifice my love."

The unbearable grayness of being

Last evening when I was preparing to go to bed, I heard a sudden dripping noise in the bathroom. I found it strange as it had been a while since I last showered. Then to my horror I saw the dripping coming from the ceiling, directly into my bathtub.

A quick snack

,

Stir-fried oysters with ginger and green onion. A little salt, white pepper, sugar, and white wine does the trick. The oysters are a dozen a jar for $5.99 CND (sale price). I used six in this dish, saving the rest for later.

Tried Belgian Waffle

,

Saturday morning I got up early but the weather was terrible. I decided to brighten up my day by trying Belgian waffle for the first time. Luckily when I was ready to get out the sky had cleared up a bit.
