So long blueberry pancakes
This is my last sit-down breakfast for a long while.

Love Pad Thai
I love Thai food in general. My fav restaurant is expensive, and this boxed version works just fine.
It just comes with noodles and a sauce packet, $4 a box and plenty of food for two. Add what you have. I mixed in scrambled eggs, sauteed carrots and green onion, sauteed mushrooms in a touch of Worcestershire sauce. Top with cilantro and freshly squeezed lime. Lime is very very important!

My fav dessert
My mom had a lot of mouths to feed. If we went out for dinner it was a buffet. Whenever we went to buffets, I go straight for the blueberry pies. Mmmmm.
But mine’s better. It has fresh blueberries.

Piggies
I have the task of preparing finger foods for a professionals’ networking party. I stole this from a wedding I recently went to. They are 1-up version of pigs in a blanket.
I used spicy mango pork sausages wrapped in Pillsbury croissant dough. To make the dough stick, coat the sausage in flour, then run through egg white before wrapping. Bake at 350 until golden. Let them cool a bit before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
The dough is a little soggy and has a weird shape. I will test this next with phyllo dough, which should be stiffer. If you have a dirty mind too, then that sentence sounded weird.
Yummy with deli mustard.

Chocolate Sandwich
I haven’t posted in forever. Below is a picture as to what I have been doing thus far, eating.
Chocolate sandwich: make a sandwich using good white bread and a chocolate bar, dip into an egg and milk mixture like you are making french toast, cook in frying pan with a little oil until egg mixture is cooked and the bread is slightly crispy. Om nom nom.

3FC
The Asian American Student Association seemed at its prime 4 years ago when I first joined. The club had over 70 members and yet we were all close. I think it was because almost all of us started college at the same time that we also all drifted apart at the same time. Friends started to hang out with certain friends. Groups began to form and split. Four years later the club is hanging only because of history, but it’s obvious the club has died.
But when a forest burns down, new trees rise. With the incoming freshman receiving no leadership from the club, they began to gather themselves. If you walk up the 3rd floor of the Knowledge Center and walk to your right, you’ll find a group of young Asian American freshman and sophomores all studying together. I like it there because you’ll always find a friendly face to talk to. The older kids seem to have become bitter and have retreated from the whole college experience. But these young kids are still so eager about their education and their future.
The group has become such a living breathing entity of their own, they made a name for themselves: the 3FC or the 3rd Floor Crew. At any time you can usually find them there. They even made T-shirts. They post events on Facebook and take trips together. It does sound kind of cheesy but they have brought back the brotherhood and sisterhood I once remember.
