Today marks the 6th anniversary our wedding day :-) Serendipitously, it was my Friday off and the last day of Shaun's spring break, so we spent the day together having fun. We got a great lunch (more on that very shortly), wandered around a bookstore, then watched Rango ...

Tonight I made my galbi recipe with some thinly sliced beef bottom round to make bulgogi. We like the galbi much better. This was kinda jerky-like, tasty jerky, but still not the best texture for dinner :-P I served this with some steamed broccoli and ...

Today for lunch, I went to Din Tai Fung Dumpling House in Bellevue.
It's an internationally renowned dim sum chain with most locations over in Asia. They're especially famous for their xiao long bao - Shanghai steamed soup dumplings.
I arrived shortly after they opened for lunch, and it was already bustling. ...
