Since summer started, we’ve also tried to cook more often and cut down on eating out. I’ve been trying a lot of new recipes like Lomo Saltado (in honor of our trip to Peru) and Japanese Curry (sauce mix pictured above — we’ll have to try extra hot next time because medium hot wasn’t hot [...]

So come with me to a place that we don’t know
If you need some inspiration before we go, just know
It’s the way I have fallen in with you
Come with me, I just wanna say hello
It’s the way I have fallen in with [...]

I think I’ve already used this DJ photo before but it’s the only DJ photo I have that I like. So it’s getting recycled.
Every summer needs a good soundtrack. My summer soundtrack is still unfolding as summer gets underway but here’s a tentative tracklist:
The new Metric [...]

Well, Peru was just absolutely incredible. I’ll make a mega post later when all of my best photos are uploaded and spare you the play by play.
It’s summer! What are my plans?
I turned in my TCH badge today but I still have a bit of work to do on the LEAH website. Hopefully I can [...]

A few days ago while we were at the grocery store picking out a tub of ice cream, we spotted an unfamiliar blue tub of Blue Bell ice-cream.
(The husband will be so proud of how shiny our granite countertop is!)
I think the name of the flavor is so charming. Southern Hospitality. It’s “Homemade Vanilla with [...]

No spoilers this time. I just wanted to write that I thoroughly enjoyed Star Trek. It’s everything I want out of a summer blockbuster hit. Action, humor, love, cool special FX, great sound editing, a fun cast and fist-pumping victories. (That doesn’t count as a spoiler does it? You can’t spoil what you already expect?)
I [...]

I love Korean food. I really do. On Yelp, one of the profile prompts is “My Last Meal on Earth” and I put Korean food. I want to eat dol sot bi bim bap, a seafood pancake, galbi, kim chi ji gae, a bowl of spicy seafood noodle soup and ten little dishes of tasty [...]

A few weeks ago, BSW (Before Swine-Flu), I read this post about what Samantha Brown carries in her backpack. It wasn’t that interesting but what did catch my attention was that she suggested everyone sing a song in their head (or out loud if you’d like) while they wash their hands to make sure that [...]

The husband uses the backspace key a lot to go back in a browser but I personally can’t stand it. Especially when I accidentally hit backspace without being in a field and it takes me to the previous page.
Luckily, you can disable it in Firefox:
Type “about:config” into the address bar
Scroll down until you find “browser.backspace_action”
Double-click [...]

I’ve been wanting to create a new page on sockparade titled “Free Advertising” but since I stink at updating pages even more than I stink at updating the blog, I’ll just blog it.
Here are some things I’ve been enjoying lately:
Ruffles Light Original Potato Chips. These actually taste better than the regular Ruffles because they seem [...]

Dear Google,
I am one of your most loyal users. I use the word “google” in its lower-case verb form on a daily basis, I use Gmail exclusively for all of my email needs, I use Google Calendar to coordinate my family’s schedule and even my friends’ schedules, I use Google Documents to collaborate on trip [...]

We’re finally at Day 3. (Click here for Day 2 or here for Day 1.) Lost Mine Trail was probably my favorite hike of the trip. It was a good length and the views were very rewarding.
There was a couple near the summit of the hike that was taking a million photos of each other. [...]

I think I say “better late than never” too much in my life. It’s a bad indicator.
Day 2 of our Big Bend National Park trip (click here for Day 1) started with a pretty drive to the Rio Grande Village.
At the visitor center near Rio Grande, they had a little area where they had samplings [...]

I love noodle soup. My favorite noodle soup will always be Japanese ramen but since there is a ramen shortage in Houston (and Texas in general for that matter), I’ve grown quite accustomed to Vietnamese Pho — which is plentiful here in Houston.
For the longest time, my favorite Pho was the famous “Trailer Pho“. I [...]

I’ve been going back and forth about switching from Firefox to Safari because I was tired of not being able to see people’s photos on Flickr in the right color. Sanky first pointed this out to me last year and it didn’t bother me at first but it’s been aggravating me more and more lately.
Here’s [...]

I’m going to try to do something here that I’ve never been able to do before. I’m going to try to review each day of our trip to Big Bend National Park (BBNP). Let’s see who gets bored first, me or you.
We started our road trip right after the husband got off work on Wednesday [...]
