BBQ for Lunch

The weather has been really nice, so my husband and I had family and friends over for a bbq today. Doesn’t that look delicious? There’s BBQ Chicken, Steak, Mushrooms, Shrimp Wonton, Edamame, rice, salad, chips and salsa.

This is the second year of the “Edible Book Contest” at my workplace (I work in a library). And the entries are even better than last year! Here’s my favorite so far (they’re still trickling in). It’s James and the Giant Peach, submitted by Rebecca B. How cute is that??
The rules are, everything in the entry has to be edible, and it has to depict a book.



I had ramen for lunch today, and my tummy was quite happy! There’s a small Japanese restaurant in Rosemead, CA called Shin-sen-gumi Hakata Ramen, that just makes you feel like you’re visiting Japan. As you walk in, you’re greeted with “itashimasu” (welcome in Japanese) and then seated.
Today I got the Special Pork Flavored Noodle with a side of rice with grounded chicken bowl. Good stuff! My husband got ramen with a side order of gyozas. Noodle refill is only 95 cents. And the service is very fast and excellent.

I had dinner at Pho Vinam. It was delicious and I was stuffed! I had a bowl of Pho, and my husband had the beef over broken rice. For dessert, we had a mango smoothie. Yummy!

The House Special Chicken is my favorite entree at Pick Up Stix. I also love adding the Mandarin Garden Side Salad on the side too! Get it with the Cilantro dressing!

This is my favorite thing to have for breakfast — a strawberry cream croissant. Yummy.

My husband made udon for lunch today. Yum! It’s a Japanese soup with thick noodles.

This is my favorite thing to have for lunch — a full rosemary chicken sandwich on ciabatta bread from Baguette Bakery & Cafe. It’s a cute local restaurant, not too far from my workplace. And the food always is delicious. The bread is nice and freshly baked, and the soups are magnificent.
The desserts are all so appetizing too. I highly recommend the chocolate chip cookies and creme brulee. I haven’t had the chance to try every dessert yet, but I that will be my goal. :)

I stopped by the mall after work tonight to buy a few things. Tired… so got some coffee and this yummy cinnamon swirl coffee cake from Starbucks, and I was ready to window shop!

I had these delicious strawberry pancakes for breakfast on my trip to Catalina Island. It was yum! The restaurant was very nice, but it was a little bit too busy. Getting our orders took a bit longer, but hey, what’s the rush? It’s island livin’!
Restaurant: The Cottage Restaurant
Where: Avalon, Santa Catalina Island

Don’t worry! I didn’t eat it like this. This is the bowl of ’stuff’ that goes in our Japanese Pancakes, also known as Okonomiyaki. Cooking the Okonomiyaki was a lot of fun!

This is what it looks like when it’s done!

Oh yea, they have yummy desserts too!
