Home Made - Kitchen may close from June to July.

It has been a while since my last post.  The past few days have been hectic. I was too busy to cook. Because my lease is expiring, I am looking for a new place to move in. Now,  I am packing up my stuffs and clearing things. I didn't realize that I had so many things in my storage until I opened it last week. I decide to donate some of my clothes to GoodWill...

Goodwill, it reminds me a lady whom I met in middle of the town. Her name is R. We were waiting a bus on a Tuesday morning when we started talking with each other. R told me she got a black jacket from GoodWill for an interview. I had never been to GoodWill before I met R. She told me that GoodWill is a place that people can buy good quality things with low prices. I researched the company immediately. I learned that GoodWill is in a good business model. It collects and sales the donated stuffs to the people who need them in a reasonable price. I think GoodWill is really benefit to both of donator and buyer. For me, I don't need to straggle between keep and throw away my goods. I can always choose to donate them. Helping people to help self.

Home Made Burger with sweet potato fries


♥ My prayers go out to all those injured in Boston Marathon ♥

Today,I made a burger with sweet potato fries. I wish I could make it better. The beef is well done, so it tasted a little dry. I used oven to bake sweet potato within 20mins, no extra oil needed. All process took me over 40 mins because I need to cook it with mid-low heat and watch beef carefully to avoid over heat.  In this point, I would prefer order burger from in-N-out. Anyway, it is another healthy dinner. I felt so happy that I discovered a new home dish. In next week, I will cook different flavor burger and write recipe next time.

Today, I made Braised Prawns, which is a famous Chinese cuisine. Braised Prawns is a popular dish in  Chinese family. I remember my grandfather used to cook it when I was little.

☆ 2 tsp white wine 
☆ 2 tsp vegetable oil

Hiking at Big Basin Redwood State Park


A hiking day. I went to big basin redwoods state park. It is far from where I live. I drove on mountain road very careful. Because of narrow roads, I don't think I can drive back after sun goes down. The park is huge. It has several trails. Some of them are very long. Most of trails may take you more than 3 hours. So, loop around redwoods is good for family visitor.


Headquarters Parking Lot & Loop Trail

Parking is $10 per car. You will get a park map and note. Write down which trail you are going on the note,then leave it on your car before enter. Because the trail is so long, I kept map on the hand all the time. Indeed,I am afraid of losing my way.

Big basin also a great camp place. I saw some groups came with camping baggages. The park store has rental place where you can get camping equipments or sleeping bags before 4pm. All in all, it was my  "new weekend adventure".

Maine Lobster Roll Night plus PSY's new song Gentleman music video


Saturday, a relaxing day. I was in Sam's Chowder House eating lobster roll. I don't know whether it has another place, which serve lobster roll in half moon bay. Sam's house is good enough for me. I saw thousands of people posted their views and pictures on yelp.I like the place not only because of delicious seafood, but also the nice seafront view. Maine lobster is expensive in California. There are not a lot of places serve fresh Maine lobster roll. I remember last year I ordered 2 lobster dishes in Maine restaurant with $24.99. Maybe next time I will buy a lobster and test-cook it by myself. 

Walked near beach and enjoyed a beautiful sunset tonight. Back to home, I watched PSY's new music video "Gentle man" on Youtube. I am not surprised that it already has over 10 million views. I believe it will become a next "magic song"!! I made a link. If you are interested in "Gangnam style", you probably like Gentle Man.
