Fancy Beach Trip

Sunset view by the lake | 黃昏來河邊

When I texted UN in Texas the photos of my private chef C was cooking at our kitchen. He was like “you made our guest cook?!”  You know I can’t waste my resources. 

傳照片給在德州出差的UN看時，UN說我怎能讓我們家客人煮飯呢！但明明就是他最想吃到朋友C煮的食物！

We always had new ways to chill at the beach/lake!  Simple camping gears created photogenic moment was our goal (the food was delicious), and we definitely had lots of fun moment!  Thanks to my dear friend C for visiting Virginia!  See you soon!

私廚來我們家玩，每天出門野餐花招多變！用簡單器具營造網美效果（其實是大吃大喝），就是我們的宗旨！歡迎私廚以後多來我家開火！最後感謝朋友C在UN出差時陪我玩！

Good time!

Our BFF Got Married!

James’s bff and my bff got married last weekend! That’s right, our best friends!

我們的好朋友結婚啦！沒錯，我和UN的好朋友！

Thank you for having us!

One last funny face before my bff tight the knot!

For my best friends:

你們一定會白頭偕老，永浴愛河，嘻嘻哈哈，你知道我繼續就會用錯成語。

所以祝你們，每天能一起禱告，每週能一起上教會，每個月能一起吃鼎泰豐，每年能更愛對方！ xo!

Dumpling Date Night

First, I want to thank UN for making dumplings with me despite having slept for only three hours the night before (he got called in around midnight). 

首先，感謝UN昨晚睡不到3小時（凌晨被醫院叫進去看病人），又上了一整天班，卻還是願意陪我做水餃！

Very unusual of me to buy dumpling ingredients, and I even bought carrot juice to make orange dumpling skins. (Halloween theme!)

Friends who know me know that I don’t enjoy eating dumplings, but I get a satisfaction from watching others make dumplings. One of my favorite YouTube channel Peaceful Cuisine has a video out teaching how to make dumplings. Watching it over and over again is so therapeutic for me. 

不知道哪根筋不對，竟然到軍營裡的超市買水餃料，還買了胡蘿蔔汁讓水餃皮變橘色！

跟我熟識的朋友們都知道，我不是特別愛吃水餃，但很愛看人做水餃。我最喜歡的是Peaceful Cuisine的無配樂水餃影片。他每個做菜影片我都愛，不吵有秩序，滿足我輕微強迫症的慾望。

Dumplings recipe: skin 9 grams, stuffings 11 grams, with cabbage, mushroom and ground beef. Conclusion: my wrists hurt, kitchen is in disarray, don’t want to eat dumplings anymore! (Sigh)

 今天做的水餃，皮9克，餡11克（以為自己鼎泰豐），內餡是白菜香菇牛肉。做完感想：手酸，廚房亂，不想吃水餃了。（崩潰中）
