Today in China, orangutan fled his cage and went exploring…oh, excuse me, the article said “on rampage”. Last week in Rotterdam, Netherlands, Gorilla escaped and injured 4. And some cheeky bastard already registered the gorilla’s name, Bokito, as a brand. Not a bad month for primates, eh?...

I. Baked. 10. Dozen. Cookies. In. One. Sitting. Since. Around. 7:30. Oh, I also made bacon and rice for dinner while whipping up the batter as well. Talk about multitasking! The last 2 dozen of the almond blueberry are cooling right now. By the time I’m done here, I can wrap that up and go to bed. Oh hell no. I’m not doing dishes tonight! I did rinse everything out though. 🙂 So, the sample batch of Absolutely Weevil cookies (chocolate chips + English toffee) are ready. And I am introducing the more dainty, and at the moment unnamed, almond...

Heroes finale. Damn. DA-YAM!!!! I may not have called the ending but I have called THAT ACTION quite a long time ago…[spoiler alert…highlight to read more]…since we found out than Nathan can fly and that Peter/Syler could explode. I was thinking, why didn’t he just fly the guy off? They do that in most action movies anyway! That’s all! Keep it up, Kring! P.S. Brandon arrived in DC safe and sound. Well, aside from the fact that his non-English speaking cabby drove him 8 miles in the wrong direction from his hotel. Oh, and he said the hotel so far...

1. Hunks upon hunks of well marinated meat roasted over open fire. Hmm….charred meat. 2. Bouncy house. (No adult takers this time though.) 3. 2 people burst into “Somewhere” from West Side Story in the middle of a conversation. 4. An impromptu sing-along broke out once the guitar is taken out of the case and everyone had sufficient amount of alcohol in their systems. It was no “The Greatest Love of All” from the other night, but hey, we did pretty well for a group that seemed very shy at the beginning! Once again, massive fun at Amy & Pete’s....

1. List of food stuff include carne asada, green chilli marinaded chicken, full taco station, spicy chicken soup, 7-layer dip, freshly made guacamole, buckets and buckets of cookies, ice cream, and strawberry strata I made (which folks thought it was a lasagna until Brandon once again mentioned to them it WAS dessert). 2. List of alcoholic beverages include Newcastle, fancy red wine, Lychee sake, and strong margaritas. 3. List of discussions include “Oakley has a tail“, sexy gay geeks, wine tasting gone street i.e. Greg M. described the white wine that it tastes like “it has a baseball bat and...

Nhien took me, Celeste and Eva to China Town for some Vietnamese food at lunch. We had to park across the street and jaywalk across 4 lanes of traffic over to the plaza. On our way back, we were waiting for 2 more cars on the other side to pass when suddenly Nhien took off. She high tailed in front of those 2 cars who barely even slowing down for her. I yelled to her, “Don’t you know how us Asians drive? Those fools weren’t going to slow down for you!” Eva added, “Yeah, Nhien. Don’t walk like you drive.”...
