safe with soup and salad

Usually when I don't know what to eat, I often cook fried rice.
But since I'm on this stupid special diet, I can only resort to soup and salad.


Mixed greens with caramelized onions, mushrooms, corn, and asparagus in an Asian marinade sauce.
Corn, peas and tomato soup.

I think my salad making skills are improving :)

Happy CNY!

Happy Chinese New Year!
 This is the first time in the 4 years of my college career that I got to celebrate Chinese New Year with some of my friends from Hong Kong!  We ate some really delicious home cooked Chinese food at Bleu Monkey Cafe that my boss cooked for us. 
 Then we hung out with Sammy the Ferret! Super cute but super stinky :)
