Time to Cook

Ok, so my last post was back in May.

Whoops!

But in all honesty I barely cook in the summer. Too hot!

Now suddenly summer seems to be gone and I am feeling like cooking again!

GIVEAWAY!! GIVEAWAY!! GIVEAWAY!! GIVEAWAY!! GIVEAWAY!! GIVEAWAY!! GIVEAWAY!! GIVEAWAY!! GIVEAWAY!! GIVEAWAY!! GIVEAWAY!! GIVEAWAY!! GIVEAWAY!! GIVEAWAY!! GIVEAWAY!! There are a lot of things I love about my job and this is one: our office has a full kitchen and we are encouraged to cook whenever we want. The kitchen happens to be next to the stockroom that is filled with our cookbooks AND there is a grocery store just down the street. How awesome is that? Pretty awesome! So today at work we are cooking out of one of the cookbooks we publish, Double Take by Jeremy Holt and AJ Rathbun . What I love about this book is that the recipes are pretty straightforward - whatever you make will turn out as expected.

It's a necessary antidote to the Ad Hoc at Home type titles that collect dust ton my bookshelf for most of the year.

After pho - tea time at the Super 88

Image
So after we went to Pho Hoa ( see post below ) we went to the Super 88. I am in love with the tea aisle at the Super 88. And apparently it loves me back. Or it would with a strong cup of New Wei Gei Tea... There are dozens of diet teas, extract teas ( the chicken one has me a little perplexed ), remedies for booze, boobs, & bowels, cures for TV/Computer, and apparently a Baywatch tea.... Then there are the * ahem * stamina teas, which of course are kept on the upper shelves. Oh yeah, and they were also selling corn in a bag. Curious. FYI - I think if you click on a picture you can see a larger view.
