California… First car! Ever! Another great Asian female driver to (soon) master California’s monster highways.. (I miss you MBTA..)
Fitness
I joined a gym and got a fitness assessment done two days ago. Man I am out of shape! But behind that sinking feeling is a suspicion that it’s all geared so that I would sign up for this trainer series. I politely refused the 20-something year old trainer who looked like she just graduated from high school. Am I ready for California? I ended up getting the 3-yr membership. :P
Truffle oil
… is a wonderful thing. Made salad dressing with truffle oil and balsamic vinegar last night, over lettuce, grilled asparagus, and mushroom filled ravioli. Awesomeness…
New cushions! Introducing Betsy (suede), Jeanette (beige linen), and Princess (grey linen)… (well, I just came up with the names, but they may change)…
I think I could do this…? Sous vide cooking has been turned into DIY, and I particularly like this quote from the NPR article: “It slides across your mouth like a spoonful of custard,” she says. “It’s such a bright flavor; it’s like a bright summer day. It’s eating summer.” Sounds awesome!
I just really liked this. :)
Scallops…
.. are harder than salmon… :( Ok, well, the week is not a total failure. I really enjoyed salmon and asparagus. And I’m about to change my first light bulb (feel a tiny bit embarrassed… I had emailed my management company to ask if they normally change light bulbs.. turns out not to be the case… who knew?).
