Good news!

Today my coworker at work shared a piece of good news with me and I'm so happy for her! ^___^ Looking back from a year ago, I thank God for giving me the opportunity to be promoted to a different position at work and during the training period I got to meet many new coworkers and over the year, develop some good friendships. It's great to see my coworker pass her review and sharing the news with me.

Macarons

Happy Sunday! Lately I been into making macarons! It's not that easy to make. First time I made it, the cookies turn out all wrinkly and it wouldn't rise up and turn out to be a hard almond cookies. Second time I made it, it was all good, but it's not a circle shape but turn out to be an oval shape and the shells are too thin, but taste good. Third time making it,  it was a success, all the cookies turn out nice and perfect, no cracks. Then this weekend I tried to make macarons again with different food coloring and after taking it out of the oven, 1/3 of them are perfect, but the rest have cracked shells. Hum..I wonder why the shells cracked? Trying to think what i did differently compare to the time I got all the shells perfect? Today I attempted to make it again, but some are cracked and some are good looking. It's hard to be consistent when making Macarons. I guess i have to try to make it a couple more times and experiment with the folding of the meringue and almond meal mixture. Anyway, it was fun making macarons and sharing it with my friends!

Lumix 25mm...

Happy Saturday! I got up really early today, at 8 am, I guess the soju really knock me out yesterday night. Guess in a way it was good thing, because I had a really good sleep, therefore I didn't need to snooze or sleep until noon to get up. (^__^)

Anyway as promised from my last post, today I will post some pictures I took with the lumix 25mm lens my friend lend me to use. Last weekend I had the opportunity to go to Healdsburg with my sister and brother in law to pick up some wines from Soda Rock and Williamson. Then afterwards we went to get some coffee beans from Flying Goat Coffee. I heard from my friend that she read an article, Flying Goat Coffee is among the top ten coffees. It was convincing enough for me to buy a bag of each flavor coffee bean. Coffee is addictive! At first I only drink coffee during work days, now I even drink it on the weekends, good thing or bad, I'm not sure. Then for dinner we went to BACHI, the pizza there was delicious! So simple ingredients yet so bold in taste. For the main course I had the seafood risotto, very good as well. Then we had tiramisu for dessert. After dinner I was so FULL, as always I tell myself, next time I'm not going to eat so much, lol. But you know... when dinner time comes, I easily order more than I can finish.

That's it for now, have a great weekend!
