In order to properly celebrate Jen’s Birthday we met at Little Sheep Hot Pot in San Mateo. Later we surprised her at Peet’s with a birthday cake.

Tuesday

Had 105K miles on Maxi so I turned her in today. I got Alli in exchange, 2011 Nissan Altima. Later I met Arlene for dinner at Kingfish. The Sea Bass was excellent. I now know the secret of Arlene’s diet. She orders the Beignets for desert and makes me eat 5 outta the 6.

10-10-10 Pho Ha

Mary Ann was in town so we drove down to San Jose to meet her for a Pho lunch. I like my T-Shirt better, although I should have shaved. To further the Vietnamese experience I had an avocado shake afterwards.

Pasta Throwdown

Inspired by the Ikedas, Sandy decided it was time to cook our black ink pasta we purchased from Italy. She challenged me to a black pasta throwdown. We had to acquire our ingredients from the same local store and the dishes had to be ready by 6:00. Challenger 1: Pilipino Pasta Lover – Sandy Barin-Goya. …
