Nom! Sansan.

It’s days off like this when I can spend extra time making a yummy breakfast (instead of just my coffee on school days).  This quiche takes some time to make but it’s so worth it.  I added sausage with the spinach. And instead of a pie crust, I mixed hash browns with lots of spices and herbs with butter and broiled it to a crispy crust. So this makes it a breakfast quiche instead of a brunch quiche? I’m hoping the quiche will reheat well so I can possibly do a make-the-day-before meal.

I’m definitely enjoying my slow mornings dotted with tea/coffee.  The sunshine during summer is unbelievable.  I love that fact that it’s almost 9 pm and there is still light out.

Since being away from the bf for 2 months, I hope to spend as much time together before the new school year starts.  We ended my Las Vegas internship with an awesome (and expensive) vacation on the Las Vegas strip. When we got back home however, it was back to business. The bf gets up early every day to begin with work on the computer, then to the office, then back home for more computer time. It’s like I don’t exist.  Sigh. I know he’s busy and has a lot of projects this summer. He tries his best.

After months of internships and gaining experience, I finally get to enjoy my last summer vacation. I’m exhausted and all I want to do is chill out at home and be by myself.  I finally get to work on my piling projects.

I did a lot of shopping in the past month.  The recent fad in arm candy looks pretty much like friendship bracelets with a modern take.  I thought about buying some at H&M, but what fun would that be? This hex nut bracelet is too cool. Braiding is easy but braiding with hex nuts intertwined was not so graceful.  It required both hands and some toes to keep the hex nuts in place.

I’m going to avoid my family a little bit because every time I’m around them, they want me to do crap for them.  I love my family but I need my summer.

During my stay in Las Vegas, I got to play tourist.  The Coca Cola store allows you to try different flavors they sell in other countries. Only 7$!  They ranged from African countries, China, England, Italy, Argentina, etc.  Some were mystery flavors like “Beverly.” Some were not carbonated.  My fav was green apple from China, tasted like Jolly Ranchers!  The nastiest one was the dark green, uncarbonated drink that tasted mouth wash, yuck.

Stir fry made with tofu, bok choy, mushrooms and carrots.  The sweet potato noodles were also from my Seattle trip.  They don’t taste much like sweet potato, more like regular egg noodle but with a smooth texture reminiscent of potatoes. All my posts have been about food lately, hmm…

I picked a few goodies during my trip to Seattle, which included very expensive pasta and yummy cheese made locally.  I thought I would throw them together for mac and cheese.

The cheese tasted like curds and made a mild but creamy mac and cheese.  This is one of the few meals I’ve made in the past few weeks.  I’m so tired, hope school ends quickly and painlessly.

Roll out the dough.  Cover with melted butter and lots of cinnamon sugar.  Cut into squares and stack into a bread pan.  Allow the bread to rest and bake!

This dessert is not too sweet, flaky and something my parents would love.  I made mine with red bean paste.  Recipe can be found here:  http://www.tinyurbankitchen.com/2010/12/thousand-layer-spiral-mooncakes.html

These turned out very soft and chewy (my favorite kind of cookie).

Made my own Morse code necklaces the other day. “Swell” and “Breath”
