Was at the grocery store today and saw some Milo. I remembered that my niece and nephew used to like that stuff in Singapore, and it was like 79 cents so I got some. Plus it is healthy and energy and cool soccer player!!!

Like 5 easy gulps later it was gone, and then out of curiosity I checked the nutrition info... wtf 180 calories!

It tasted alright though!

Friday.

Black Friday!! But we didn't go shopping. In fact, I'm not even sure if we left the apartment. We might've.... but probably just to get gas or something mundane like that.

Instead, we made some kick-ass food!!


Peanut sauce, and two AMAZING sandwiches:



Close up of one of the sandwiches:


So, that's some thick french bread (too thick actually), grilled chicken breast smothered in peanut sauce (awesome peanut sauce, actually), a salad of jalapenos, red onions, and cucumber (with a somewhat sweet sauce), and cilantro on top. AWESOME. The too-thick bread just meant that we kept eating the extra salad and piling on extra sauce the whole time.

Seriously, I never thought I'd be able to make something like this, but it was really easy! Karin found the recipe online, I'll update this later with a link. Mostly you just need red curry paste and peanut butter, the rest is normal stuff like salt and sugar. And a tip, for some reason cucumber is totally amazing with peanut sauce. This was one of the best things I've ever made I think.

Wednesday.

Had some leftover bulgogi and a bunch of veggies, so tried making some jungol, which basically means throwing all that together into a pot, I guess? Someday I'll know better maybe. This stuff wasn't bad though, but it tasted way better 2 days later.

Tuesday.

I posted a little while ago about all the coffee shops that are in our neighborhood, so we decided to go take a walk again and try one out! Turns out the place we were at was kind of a biker bar, but for coffee, which was pretty interesting, and really kind of loud. But it was still fun.


Should've taken a picture of the actual place too, oops!

Everyday

Took this in the morning while making breakfast and lunch. It's not always sandwiches, but we seem to make soup a lot and it makes lunch pretty easy. This is on our kitchen table.

Saturday

So Saturday was a big day... I won the lottery! Here's my check from the Minnesota State Lottery!


No actually it's a check for... $2.00. I should have taken a picture of it, such crap. Karin got a lottery ticket for christmas or something and the first thing she scratched off said $14, so we mailed it in. We have no idea how to do lottery stuff... but then we got a check back for $2.00! What the heck?? We have no idea. The letter helpfully included information on how lottery money is taxed, too, excellent.

Also on Saturday... I made bibimbap for the 2nd time! I think it doesn't look quite as good as the first time.. but I didn't get a good picture of that one. Also there's no beef in this one. But still!


Bibimbap!

Lastly, Saturday was the first time that Quimby had ever fallen asleep on my lap...


Maybe that's too many cat pictures haha, but I thought it was significant, first time and we've had them for like 7 months or something now. Anyway I will probably keep taking lots of pictures of the cats anyway, they're super cute!

Stopped at the new Five Guys nearby for a burger on the way home.


Good thing I bought those running shoes...
