Doughnut & Chardonnay

In the past three days, I had more meat and rice than usual because the Korean food was so good. So I was trying to balance out with less eats today.

First, I had cherries for breakfast as planned.

Guess what happened next?

My boss brought two boxes of doughnuts. Shoot!

How can I stay away from it!?

I tried to cut portion. Maybe these three is equal to one regular size.

lunch: papaya salad from Khun 9 Thai
Although it’s only vegetable and shrimp, I got pretty satisfied.

Around 3pm, I had another mini doughnut. Bad!

On the way home, I suddenly wanted a glass of chill white wine.
I spontaneously stopped by a liquor store and grabbed a bottle of chardonnay.

dinner: tarako spaghetti + chardonnay

Mmmm, did I consume more calories after all???

Korean Night Vol. 3

Today, I used BCD Soon Tofu Mix and made a tofu soup with a lot of Korean water cress.

dinner: all leftover other than soon tofu

breakfast 1: watermelon

breakfast 2: apple bites & lemon cake

lunch: all leftover all day Korean food

Korean Night Vol. 2

spicy pork & squid bbq

We stil have a lot of Korean food!

My husband cut watermelon for me, but look at there small dices and bits 😦

I would rather want like this ↓

This is Japanese way. What he did is probably American?

breakfast 1: fruit

breakfast 2: mini apple turnover

lunch: leftover from last night. Sill good!

Korean Night

Again, I didn’t feel like cooking this evening. I swung by S-Mart, Korean Market and picked up some ready-to-eat food. I love Korean markets. They offer a lot of good stuff for reasonable prices.

appetizers: spinach, bean sprouts, fish cake, western bracken fern, kimchi + beer

main: marinated beef BBQ, lettuce, Korean red rice
This rice tastes amazing!

Dine LA’s Restaurant Week is a 14-day (July 14-27) event that locals and visitors have the opportunity to enjoy a selection of specially priced prix-fixe lunch and dinner menus from some of L.A.’s best restaurants.

Why not trying a new restaurant!?

There are so many restaurants participating, I really couldn’t pick one. But, we finally did.

One of three tastes so green, which is my least favorite.

My first course: beef carpaccio with heirloom tomatoes
Delicious!

My main course: Chicken Tajine
Curry taste…not my favorite.

Couscous comes with tajine.

Dessert is very simple and good.

Breakfast

Dinner

Not feeling Like Cooking

I felt lazy as a usual Saturday morning. My husband fixed french toast for breakfast. We didn’t have any fruit to go with, so I made green juice with spinach, parsley, apple and lemon.

It tastes drinkable with apple and lemon.

His French toast is a little dry, but can’t complain it because of my laziness.

Lunch: curry udon with a lot of green onion

I didn’t feel like cooking at all. We just went to pick up some dish at the Main Course.

salad

Turkey Vegetable Lasagna

Very good 🙂

Baby Back Ribs To Go

On Wednesday, Sunny & Vihn, owners of Huong Vi informed me that they were going to serve the baby back ribs on Friday, which is today. I couldn’t go out for lunch, so called to reserve two order to pick up later.

Ribs come with tropical salsa & chips and rice.

It is a perfect dinner with beer for Friday night.
