homeward bound...

Imminent departure,
back to homely pasture...

henceforth the following ends.
Driving experience, taking wrong turns.
Experimental cookings, with me as the sole critic.
Californian rain, running for shelter with waterproof windbreaker.
Shopping frenzy, particularly cheap American brands.
Pinot Noirs & Merlots, after every dinner.

and soon i will be back,
to homely places,
to familliar faces.

homeward bound, finally...


Chevrolet, the quintessential American car.
And i present to u, the Chevrolet Cobalt :)
Ok ok... rented car, not owned by me,
but it has gotten me hooked on driving *aargh bad drug*


A Decadent Bubble Bath.
oohhh nice... just soaking in the tub with bubbles :)


GRAPPLE!
"Looks like an apple. Tastes like a grape."
It is really damn delicious!


And the Pinot Noir, from Sonoma... quite fragrant & smooth :)


And there, one of my first self-cooked meal in Fremont.
Salad with mushrooms & baby carrots,
Beef steak with ground turkey,
Toasted bread with butter & cheese,
Merlot from Napa Valley,
And the lovely fresh milk... ahhh
Sounds like quite a lot rite? hehe good enough for me :)


When a local that i met on Mission Peak told me it was Salmon season, i simply had to make a salmon meal.
And tadaaaa... Salmon cooked with Butter & Garlic, and baby carrots as side dish.


And when i have too much spaghetti, pastrami & Pinot Noir in my fridge, this dish came to life...
Pastrami cubes spaghetti, with mushroom marinara & Pinot Noir sauce :p
