Oh yeah. Here goes another gem to go on baby’s Stanford admissions essay. The kid fed himself naan tonight at a tender four months. He deftly pinched a piece of naan and deliberately stuffed said naan into his face. Grandma & I squealed with delight. The random stop at Naan & Curry at Serramonte mall was the best decision of the night. The lamb curry was quite good. A hint of spice even grandma could…
I have lost a very important document for my aunt & I am losing it. Could it be that my mommy brain has robbed me of any capacity to remember… Anything? One thing I didn’t forget is how to eat good food. Tonight’s candidates were the new pizza & burger places at Stonestown but alas we craved for Shabu. But Shabu we did not! A new Korean spot at Lakeside caught our attention. With a similar…
Baby has cleared the 16 pound mark! We think. First time baby “steps onto” the scale himself. Demonstrating a 15.8 weightage. But when mom or dad hold him, he’s 16.4-16.6 pounds. Sounds like baby Michelin is a heavy hitter. This is how I pre-game before breakfast. What you don’t see is the salami. Very important detail. Baby is growing like a weed probably because I’m practically a pro eater. Dim sum yesterday and…
A special dinner with our Rhon Rhon & A-dawg. Of course I don’t call him that to his face, because he doesn’t like it. Karilagan in South City to fulfill our craving for sizzling sisig. Our fave here is the oxtail ragu. I unfairly ate more than anyone else (sorry). Our veggies was the least touched item maybe because we are all carnivorous. The whole bangus was a touch dry but still tasty with…
This is my son. He drools aloha. See the splattering of islands on his shirt? That’s love. Aloha Friday brought a wonderful night with Melly where we Marnee Thai-ed. Coconut hot cakes for the win! As Melly pointed out, there are dessert like. Sweet. I like these quite a bit. Lots of textures in a little thing. The duck salad I found to be a touch too salty. I do love my duck so no…
First comes the turf. Tasty. I learned that steak increases milk production so here we are. The surf comes from our local haunt, Yum Yum Fish. I wish they had a frequent buyer’s card like boba tea because I would have earned a free platter of sashimi by now. Salmon nigiri has been our thing lately. White tuna was meh. It’s the super white we like. Call it the-butterfish-belongs-in-my-stomach-fish. Unagi & kappa roll is a…
Thai lunch in a bento at Chaabaa. The other thai place that isn’t Marnee. Usually I go the M route but today, oh, today we try somewhere new. Chaabaa has lunch specials that pack a lot in a box. I was ravenous (what’s new) & I got full fast. Baby feeding intermission, as per usual. Here’s the little man hanging with Uncle Calm. A small walk around & baby was ready to cruise inside (aka…
Photo credit: KM Baby was all abundle for his first zoo adventure! Quite the chilly day, so we were dressed to the nines in puffy & leather coats. Basically baby slept through the first and last part of the trip. He did manage to cry quite a bit in the middle despite the various signs posted for guests to shh. Most pictures of baby look like this: My fear of sun exposure and of the…
Well, one really. The little one takes milk in his tea, sans tea. Look at this little chap. Content on my lap for most of tea time at Secret Garden. The Bedford is perfect for me because it ensures the most food. That’s important. Little tea sandwiches which I calculated as exactly two sandwiches which are cut into eight little ones. My favorite is the the one with vanilla cheese. Had I known…
Now that the new baby smell is starting to wear off, I’m starting to think about what the next steps are. Baby is certainly thriving. Very alert & seriously cute. Staying at home with him is rewarding and feels right. But what about work? Do I go back sooner or later? A lot of change stirring in the pot for family and friends. This is inspiring. How can our little family make the best choices for…
