ROLLING WITH MY HOMIES



5 COMMENTS

Holy Mo it's an outfit post!  Sorry I've been lagging.  After Colorado, I was sick, then after the sickness, I was busy at work, then after the busy at work, I was lazy as fuuuuuuh.....  So here is me back in action and rocking a HOMIES tee.  I really loved the black and gold version but this one seemed more authentic Hermes-wanna-be in the orange.  Hahaha.  I couldn't stop giggling at the low-rider above the letters with a verified homie in the driver's seat.  Just thought I'd keep things casual this day since we were off grocery shopping for our Sushi-Date-Night-In experiment.  

What did we learn?  Making sushi is no joke.  There are lots of things you have to get to do it right.  You should wait for the sushi rice to get to room temperature before you start shoving your hands all up in there.  Test the heat of the oil for tempura by dropping one drop of the batter into the oil.  Good tempura batter uses COLD sparkling water and a few ice cubes.  Wetting the knife helps in cutting the roll.  It's really easy to make too much sushi once you get going.  And finally, everything is funner with sake shots.  The Hubster and I actually had a lot of fun cooking together.  Usually when we try this, I end up doing all the work and he just watches and says nice phrases like "looking good" "smells amazing" "oh is that how you do that?"  This time he was part of the process and also the official shot re-filler.  We were very proud of our huge pile of rolls and our homemade Japanese meal.  =)  Side note, why did I think sweet potatoes were orange?  The sweet potatoes I had and peeled and fried were a light yellow.  How come when you order sweet potato fries at a restaurant they are orange?  Maybe I need to Google this.  I hope you enjoy the pics!

YEAR OF THE SNAKE



2 COMMENTS

What better way to celebrate Chinese New Year than a dinner date with The Hubster at one of my fave asian fusion spots, SUNDA!  They have a special Year of the Snake menu that is running til Wednesday, February 13th.  There are some dishes that I would definitely recommend.  So here we gooooooo!  Yummy yummy!


DOS taming the Lion.  =)



Jamo and Ginger for The Hubster and Hello Kitty cocktail for me!  How could you NOT order a drink called Hello Kitty?!




Hot N Sour Soup - spicy and tangy just the way momma likes it!


Just your everyday Chinese Lion Dance weaving through the tables.


Took these two a while to notice.  Haha.


Olympian Jordyn Wieber in the house!


Mushroom Siu Mai - Healthier version of the traditional pork siu mai.  Delish and so soft.


Mu Shu Duck - This was The Hubster's favorite dish of the night.  He kept raving about the soft and buttery texture of the pancake.  The duck and sauce combo was very savory and delish.  These didn't last very long on the plate.  Nom nom nom.


Ginger Tofu - wasn't my favorite dish and a little bland for my taste but The Hubster enjoyed it.


Szechwan Long Beans - This was so nostalgic for me.  My momma used to put long beans in soup and this definitely brought back some fond memories.


Steamed Fish - I love having a healthy dish option and this one was in such a yummy broth.  Definitely one of my favorites of the night.  I am one of those people that loooooooves fish.  There was a spicy kick to this dish that was unexpected.  Yummo!


Round 2 for me and Round 5 for The Hubster.  =)



Pepper Steak - biting into these chunks of filet was like chewing on a puffy meat cloud.  The meat was so tender and soft and the flavors were so tangy with a touch of sweet.  I will definitely be thinking of this for quite some time.  I hope they keep this one on the menu!


After 7 wonderful dishes, I needed to wash it down with some green tea.  How cute is the little honey scooper?


Ended with an "OFF THE HOOK" bang!  Fried red snapper!  How could you resist?  I had no room left in my belly but I forced and savored every bite!  I only made it to two pieces before I fell into a massive food coma!  The fish was amaze!  The outer parts were just the right amount of crispy and the fish stayed moist inside.  And what a crazy fun presentation!

Thank you to Deanna, Scott and Sunda for a crazy fantastic meal and a fun night.  Crazy how many times I've been to Sunda and never sat in the main dining area.  Hahaha.  The Hubster and I for some reason always sat and ate up at the bar.  Hmmmm... I wonder why.  The main dining room was surprisingly cozy given the gigantic space of the restaurant.

Make your reservations now for tomorrow night or Wednesday night and fill your tummy with some Chinese fusion goodness!

DRUNK ON PRABAL GURUNG X TARGET

PRABAL GURUNG X TARGET

RELEASE DATE SUNDAY FEBRUARY 10, 2013

So I never really went for the Target collaborations over the past years.  I thought the Missoni one was not that great and the recent NM collabo was too expensive for what you would go to Target for.  Then I saw the upcoming Prabal Gurung collection and thought, "Whoa!  LOVE!"  I have been thinking that I need to inject more color and patterns into my wardrobe, which by the way should be added to the "Shit Girls Say" list.  I swear I say that every season.  My thoughts on the Prabal Gurung collection ,which is solely based on these pictures from Target, are that the collection is a smash!  The dresses especially are very fun and wearable for most body types.  It's trendy without being too over the top because let's be honest, women that shop at Target for clothes really aren't looking to overspend on crazy designs.  God, I just hope they have my size!  Who else is going this Sunday?!
