Empty Wrapper

Guess what I found from the pile of candies (from halloween)!
missing candy.....only air is inside that plastic wrapper! I remember finding 2 candies in one wrapper..I should start collecting this and sell it on Pawn Stars.

Dinner at La Madeleine

the rotisserie chicken...the rice was very very delicious! wish I could make it at home. What kind of rice do I have to use? I made spanish rice today with long grain rice, but it wasn't like the stuff I eat at Mexican restaurants....a little bummed out :(

french vanilla tart. VERY, VERY good. I had half last night and finished the rest for breakfast!

Blackberries

I finally tried blackberries!! They were very delicious and kinda addictive... I like biting into it and popping the juices...(if you know what I mean)
tell me how you eat your berries!

My Current Obsession

I need my weekly fix of pho with lots of bean sprouts!

This was my favorite childhood drink from au bon pain and recently started drinking it again. For some reason it feels healthier than fanta. Maybe because it comes in a bottle?

Hope this works...it's suppose to diminish all kinds of spots (sorry, freckles are forever...says the box)

Gucci Candles

My godmother used to work at Gucci, and she gave me these candles...Never knew Gucci made candles!
 but the scent is too strong...it rarely comes out of the box!
Mr. P is cringing at the scent~~

Mr. P & Friends

Since its November, and there aren't much "seasonal" fruits, I've been turning to imported fruits.
longan....tastes somewhat similar to lychee, but this one had a weird after taste

my favorite red papaya~ it's an acquired taste but SO good!

I bought blackberries from wholefoods today...first time actually trying it out! Will blog about it later :)

Freaky Friday

More like stupid friday... first I wake up in the morning, open my fridge, and find last night's ice cream...
all melted...
And then I go get some hot chocolate from starbucks, close the lid (so I think) and take a sip thinking to myself "I better not burn my tongue"....and then I feel hotness on my tummy and then my toes. So I look down and see what I have created. Ta-da!
should have done this for halloween with fruit punch...looks like I got shot

and the hot chocolate went through my sneakers onto my socks! GAH!

Diner Food

We recently visited the Silver Diner in front of our house and were pleasantly surprised with the good food they had. At first it seemed a little pricey considering it to be a "diner", but I guess they use good ingredients as they advertise to do.
egg blt with cranberry cole slaw (which I didn't love)

country sampler with pancakes.....the butter was sooooooooooo good (I'm a sucka for butter)

Just wish that the price was a little cheaper...we went for breakfast and the bill came out similar to our dinner at a nice Mexican restaurant!!

Bath time!

I always buy these bath salts and bombs when I visit Japan.
bath salts in purple, green, blue, orange, pink colors

bath bombs in cherry blossom, bamboo and other good stuff!

tried the bamboo today

looks like a BIG icebreaker

LOVE the color and the smell~ I might include this in my first giveaway!

Wrinkle Pads

To my beauty bloggers: Help me!!
I want to buy some wrinkle pads for my forehead...which has FINE lines whenever I look "up". So after a quick search on Sephora, I found this:
It's from Peter Thomas Roth (have never heard of this company...yet), and it sounds too good to be true. "The result: tighter pores, clear skin and disappearance of fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone. Leaves skin soft, smooth, firm and revitalized. " It's $45, so I wanted some confirmation from my beauty junkies! Should I try it or not?

Clam Chowder

My #1 comfort food! Clammy Chowdie!
I was born in Boston, so I gotta have legal sea foods once in a while...right, Daisy?
Mr. P needs to lose some weight...look at that bulging tummy!

Meals in Japan

Some meals I had during my trip to Japan:
zaru soba and ikura/salmon rice...i love ikura!

hakata ramen

maki

onigiri bento

omurice

sushi set

curry rice
Delicious food! I wish I had the recipe for the curry rice...it tasted different from the usual S&B or House curry.
