Heard that the tower at People's Association is going to be torn down for some fancy schmancy clubhouse. It kinda upsets me a little, since I've spent almost every Saturday of 10 years between the age of 10 to 20 there. Fond memories that I cherish and keep close to my heart. I made some of my lifelong friends there, together practising music. It was such a simple joy, being in the same room with all my friends, playing music in harmony. Now my most respected conductor has passed away, and the tower where we would pass by every Saturday from our practice room to the canteen will be gone as well. It's just kinda sad.
Went to Missouri for the weekend. It was very hectic, mainly because of the long flights and various delays. It was quite an eye-opener though, despite the fact that the food is incomparable to San Diego.
Went to White Castle though. Hey chi-town girls, remember the time I was wailing for White Castle at 3am, but we never got it? Ha! I got it finally! :P
I know the meat is mostly fat, and it's definitely not gourmet, but the bun was as soft as I remembered, and it's just sooooo good.
Went to have St Louis style pizza too at Imo's, which is pretty much like a flatbread, with Provel cheese which can only be found there. The cheese was drippy and melty, SUPER good. :) It's soooo good. :)
Got to rent the new Mustang! Woot! Although, I have to say, I'm glad I didn't get it, since that was one of my choices. Too cheaply made.
Me and Meghan at BARcelona at St. Louis. The food was pretty good, but after all the not-so-great food, my stomach was highly critical. Too bad. :/
Going to Vegas this weekend. Gonna meet the girls up there. It'll be nice to catch up, especially when we don't really see each other that much anymore...
My work's been kinda crazy, mainly because I feel like my projects aren't progressing forward, or as fast as I would like them to. Been thinking a lot more about my work lately, and stressing out about it. I guess I feel the urgency now, so I try to work harder, and spend my free time thinking about my work. I guess I've always had it easy, and in school, it was way easier. As long as you put in the effort, you get the grades. Getting good grades have never been hard for me, and I appreciate it only now, when effort doesn't equate to good results. I've came to the understanding now, that as long as I ponder more over my experiments, and think about it critically, I can grasp the right experiments and techniques, and that will lead to success.
Did my nails. Kinda like the nail art I did. So am showing it here. Hoho.
Been cooking a lot more too...
My attempt at recapitulating my dad's steamed cod fish. I did it! Yalta! Very happy with the taste and texture. And the right is eggplant in dark sauce with tofu.
Went to Kensington Grill at some point too... everything was forgettable... like
the salad...
the scallops (Whisk N Ladle has better ones)
BUT
the truffled macaroni n cheese was amazing. They used some kind of white cheese, and truffle oil. SOOOOO good. :) Best Mac N Cheese of ALL time.
Okay I'm tired. Laters!
