My Week in Photos

Deidra, Sweet, Perrie


I think I'm the last person in the world that received her free Zoya nail polishes because mine got lost in the mail.  It took so long that I completely forgot about them until they showed up! hahaha



My Chicken Alfredo with lots of broccoli and corn... so nommy especially on a cold and rainy day.  I made extra sauce and froze it because....


A few nights later I added white wine to the Alfredo sauce tossed in some clams, spinach and egg noodles and you have a totally new dish!


My "monthly friend" was visiting me this past week so the hubs showed up after work with these!

I know I know I have the BEST HUBBY EVER! thanks booboo :)


Cafe Bakery is a local Hong Kong style cafe - they make the most yummiest Doria's.  My dish is the one on the lower right corner it's two, yup TWO fried pork chop smothered in a creamy cheese sauce baked over rice. 

SO bad for you but tastes SO good. 

Why is it that all the bad things for you always taste the yummiest and the worse it is the yummier it gets?!  WHY?! hahahah


My Salmon risotto came out too dry :(  definitely needs more chicken broth next time.


My Baklava - hubs gave this two thumbs up :)


Urban Ballerina - Sephora by O.P.I.

Mushroom Swiss Burger

I absolutely live for brunch on the weekends!

Southwestern Omlette



To cap off the week I made Almond Jelly which is just about the easiest thing to make and it tastes so light, refreshing and delicious!

    Is it okay if I just respond here? Haha. I dunno how often people go to check tagboards on a blog. But nuuu, I don't actually live in Taiwan, haha. I wish. I live in the USA (North Carolina) like I've typed in my About Me, haha. I forgot that I have Taiwan listed on the actual profile, whoops. xD I just put that as the country 'cos I was trying to be "more private", I guess. But where are you going in Germany and why?! You've moved a lot! I'm kinda jealous, haha. I haven't left the states since I was 12. So boring.

    My FAVORITE dish in the whole wide world is pasta with white clam sauce and yours looks absolutely delish!

    You'll have to let us know how the Zoya nailpolishes look - I'm particularly interested in Perrie.

    Oo pretty!

    Omg... it's like I'm looking at food porn. I want pasta, bbq, yummy sweets, everything! It's too bad I'm watching what I'm eating. I'm such a fatty at heart. LoL.

    Wow! Those Zoya colors are sooo pretty Lisa! I'm tempted to order some more! You DO have a sweet hubby! I went through a tub of Dreyer's Rocky Road already this weekend. With a sore throat and my "visitor" on its way too - it was a MUST! :) Happy Sunday!
