[Cook] Sizzling Garlic and Lemon Shrimp

I love the meal planning website Relish. One more day left to get $16 for six months of meal-planning from Relish. Today's dinner was super easy to make, and the result was way above my expectation. Dr. P went on a business trip to Boston this morning. Too bad he didn't get to enjoy dinner with me. But I'll make it for him again when he returns.


Sizzling Garlic and Lemon Shrimp

The main course was Sizzling Garlic and Lemon Shrimp. I served it with couscous and salad with pears and pecans.

[Getting Rid Of] Vintage Faux Fur Collar and Cuff Coat

I bought this coat couple years ago. I think I paid about $200 for it. I did wore it many many times, and always get compliments. The fabric is just beautiful, and I love the vintage looking colors. But.... I didn't take good care of the coat. The fabric on the front buttons are missing (my cat Strawberry ate it, for real!), one of the bottons on the back shoulder is missing, and one side of the tag is falling off. So whoever wants this coat, it'll require a little bit of work to find the right buttons to replace.



Size small; beautiful vintage looking coat; faux fur collar and cuff trim; front pockets; full lining; Fabric 51% polyester, 49% viscose, lining 100% polyester, fur 100% acrylic. By Heart Moon Star.

[Cook] Mocha Brownies

This morning I bought $16 for six months of meal-planning from Relish. Since my new year resolution is to eat healthier and to cook more at home, a meal planning service should help. Once a week, this website will come up with 20 main entrees (all with side dishes too) that are prepared with fresh and seasonal ingredients. You just pick 4 or  5 that you like, and it'll generate a shopping list and recipes for you to print out. I went grocery shopping with a list today. The meal planning service really saved me a lot of time. I haven't tried any main entree yet. But today I made Mocha Brownies from their menu. Wait, I thought I was supposed to eat healthier?


Mocha Brownies

I don't think I'm supposed to share the recipe publicly since its copyright belongs to Relish. The brownie was made with brown sugar, butter, coffee, egg, vanilla extract, flour, baking powder, salt, pecans, and chocolate chips. It was sinful and bad.... in a really yummy way!

[Mission Viejo] [Food Court] Muscle Beach Lemonade & Hot Dogs

I went to the mall today. Ate lunch right before I went. I wasn't hungry, but thought I would walk around the food court just to see.



Muscle Beach (Hot Dog On A Stick) gotta be the busiest stand there. I saw too many people eating the hot dog, and just couldn't resist the temptation.

[Getting Rid Of] Supermarket Gourmet by Jyl Steinback

I decided to "get rid of one thing a day" this year. My house is filled with things I don't use. I want these things to go to someone who would make good use of them.



Today I would like to get rid of a cookbook, Supermarket Gourmet by Jyl Steinback ($17.95). It has 266 pages with 200 recipes. Most of them only use 5 or less ingredients that you can easily get from supermarket. I bought this book from Barnes & Nobles when it was on the bargain book shelf. I had it for about a year or two, and still never use it.

So who wants this cookbook for $5? The money will cover envelope and shipping. If you want it, please leave a comment with your email address. First come first serve. If nobody wants it by the end of the week, it'll be a donation to the library.

[Teddy & Twinkle] Family Trip to Starbucks

Happy new year! The weather was so nice today. What a beautiful day to start a new year!



There's a Starbucks just one block away from our house. We decided to take a family trip there to get some coffee for the adults, and water for the kids. :-P
