A Season of Plenty

Every year around this time, the Asian seafood restaurants start running crazy specials on them delicious delicious King Crab legs.  This is probably about the most important news you’ll hear from me all year.  $3.99/lb baby!  How are you not stuffing your face already?!

At the end of last year I got the opportunity to go to China for work.  This is the beginning of a series of posts about my trip to Shanghai.

Valentine’s Day Choco Overdose

Didn’t think it was possible, but I managed to overdose on chocolates this past Sunday.  Was green to the face, sick to the stomach, made two trips to the crapper, and was ready to tackle the rest of the box by evening.

Happy Valentine 2010

This is usually what happens with food gifts between me and Evelyn.  One of us will take a bite of it or immediately expect a bite of whatever delectable treat it happens to be.  I don’t think I have ever taken a bite out of EVERYTHING though…..  Although that would happen if it was the Deluscious Valentine Cookie Box.

But I am positive she would not blame me for doing that………muhahahhaaa

(On a side note, why do I always draw myself with 1 arm in the air……Maybe I should have 1 arm in the air as my new look….hmmmm)

=(

Today my good buddy Maverick died.



You were my first fish, and an excellent source of distraction.

I will miss you much.

Bake us cookies and deliver them in person!

Today Amazon bought Zappos.  This is a big deal in the .com world coz Amazon paid bucu bucks for them.

Anyway, The Wall Street Journal posted the following letter from Zappos CEO to their staff:

There were 3 excerpts that I found highly amusing:

#1.)  Please set aside 20 minutes to carefully read this entire email.

[Evelyn] lol.  i wish i had the luxury to demand people do this.  eh, i guess when you’re a CEO…

#2.)  Q: Will we get a discount at Amazon?

No, because we are planning on continuing to run Zappos as a separate company with our own culture and core values. And we’re not going to be giving the Zappos discount to Amazon employees either, unless they bake us cookies and deliver them in person.

[Evelyn] Um so like, this is pretty much PPP Hour’s policy towards everything.  What?  You want us to do something?  Cookies!  Gimme!  Nao!

#3.) Q: Can you please stop?

okthxbye

[Evelyn] To Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh:  I appreciate your brand of humor!  :D  That is, if this email was even real.  If it wasn’t, I was still highly entertained by whoever wrote it.

Soup 4 Life!

Man, Eliza won’t quit hounding me about the dentist issue. 

Recently, she’s even resorted to threats…



Yo, I’m eating steak 4 life. 

Even if I have to friggen blend it to make it go down.

Yikes! Is this someone’s leftovers?

This weekend I went up to SF to visit Liz and she took me to a fancy Chinese restaurant called “Heaven’s Dog”.  Even though the setting was ultra modern, the food still tasted pretty authentic.   Stick with the main entrees though, and go somewhere else for dessert.  Let it be known that I was the idiot that fell for this number: ”Jasmine Tea Granita with milk, melon, and mango”.  The waitress described the dessert as “refreshing”. 

Refreshing my ass.  This was what they served me…



 And they dared to charge $7 for this piece of crap.

I think if they actually served me a piece of crap, it might have filled the plate better.
