the colors came out a little funky. but the top left butterfly is dark pink and the top right is like a magenta color. $4.00

watermelon, peas, orange, strawberry, apple, and cherries. $4 each (beads on apple will actually be sewn on, not glued... so will look much nicer)

nom nom nom

this past weekend (passed? no... past) i wanted to cook some korean food

so i julienned some carrots (by hand, which is why some are thick and some are thin), sliced some onions, diced green onions, and minced garlic... (can you guess what i'm making?)

in a separate bowl, i mixed soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, black pepper, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes... (have u guessed yet?)

i poured the marinade into a large tupperware, and added the garlic and some pureed apple. when the sugar dissolved, i added the vegetables and meat and let it sit in the fridge for an hour.

actually, i got impatient and let it sit for 45 minutes. next, it was cooked in a pan and extra green onions and sesame seeds were sprinkled on top. i also added black pepper for taste... =)

this, is a different story which i do not feel like explaining. why, you ask? because the korean market was out of many of the ingredients i wanted to make this. so i resorted to *gasp* a kit!
but i added vegetables to make myself feel better.

finished product. grr.
normally there would also be odeng... and i definitely would not use a kit!

forgot to include the measurements:
about 1 lb rib eye (sliced really thin)
1 small carrot (julienned)
1 small onion (chopped into slivers)
3-4 cloves of garlic (diced)
1/3 cup soy sauce
3 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp sesame seeds
1 green onion (diced)
freshly ground black pepper
red pepper flakes

there and back again...

some of these pictures are a couple of months old... but oh well.

andrew and i took c to ca adventure a couple of months ago:

as you can see, he's REALLY happy to take a picture with his ONE AND ONLY (blood-related) aunt!

at first he was really hesitant to play in the water, but then he got really into it.

this was for liz's bday a couple of months ago. the lighting was weird, so i edited it weird too! =) p.s. where are we all looking?

for memorial day weekend, andrew and i went to the huntington library:

it was REALLY bright that day, hence the crazy shadows and lighting.

yes, i know you love my fake smile.

where does this lead to?

can you see albert einstein's signature?

i loved these pictures. i want a wall of these pictures in my house.

i really liked this light installation thing they had there, so i made andrew take a picture in front of it.

my turn!

here's what they really look like

cool lightbulbs

zee end.
