spring break recap
had a productive and restful spring break. i love the feeling of waking up without an alarm clock. even though i still woke up early because my body is used to my usual work schedule, but there was no stress about having to be somewhere at a certain time. i was able to reflect and journal which is something i needed, because lots of times i feel as my body is moving faster than my mind.
the productive part of my week was the gazillion errands that i've been meaning to do for weeks; one them being getting my car fixed and replaced my break pads. =D
i also had the time to try making a few more new dishes!
shrimp, asparagus and carrot tempura
(this one didn't turn out very well because i used the wrong batter mix, so the texture was more like a tonkatsu than tempura.)
yamaimo and sashimi salad
bacon and onion risotto
steamed fish with black bean sauce
lion's head
hoisin sauce lamb chops with orange cranberry couscous
oh and of course i also spent a lot time playing with my new friend here; it was given to me as a surprise by someone very thoughtful... =D
