Work has been stressful lately… same with our Taiwan trip. I’ve been so exhausted that my dSLR is still sitting in my camera bag. I haven’t touched it since we were in Taiwan, which basically means that I haven’t uploaded/looked at pictures. My blogging is at a minimum and my mind constantly feels exhausted from […]

It surprises me how quickly time goes by now. It felt like it was just yesterday that I was ringing in 2010 with the Hsu Family in Houston and now in a blink of an eye, it is already a few months into 2011. We have goals to travel a lot more this year and […]

We just finished up our 10 day trip through Taiwan… Pictures need to be sorted and I need to recover from jetlag. Traveling is exhausting; thankfully I was fairly good and unpacked and cleaned up as soon as we got home so I don’t have my luggage to deal with. Unfortunately I’m only halfway through […]

I love eating tri-tip. It cooks well, super flavorful and is delicious by itself or in sandwiches. When I’m lazy, I’ll get the preseasoned stuff and just roast it and slice it up for a quick dinner. One of my favorite pre-seasoned tri-tip comes from Schaub’s meats in Palo Alto. It’s called a “Fred’s Steak” […]

Sorry… that’s a pretty sickening sappy title of this post. And I guess as newlyweds I can semi sort of get a pass. Before I lose all of my readers (yes… all 3 of you!) I should quickly explain. When I’m too damn lazy to cook dinner, he generously offers to take me out to […]

My friend Charlyn introduced me to the Pioneer Woman blog. I clicked on the link at 10am. The first thing I saw was her recipe of the day… Steak au Poivre. Beautiful beautiful steak. I sat there and drooled… 2 hours before I could take my lunch. I didn’t think it was right for me […]

I guess I’ve been procrastinating long enough on my resolutions… 1) Travel more Hopefully we’ll accomplish this with talks about a trip back to Taiwan in the near future and once that is done, we can finally go on our honeymoon. Tahiti possibly? 😀 2) Cook more Strangely enough, I’ve taken more ownership of the […]
