--- Random pictures of everything

Hello, hello. Today I looked through all of my photos on my camera and because of the fact that most of them brought smiles on my face, I'm going to post about them. The first picture contains a cheesecake that I made for my mom's best friend's family that visited us from Korea, stopping by on their way to some other place. I got my recipe from this random korean video on Naver a year ago and I have been using it ever since. I simply topped it with whipping cream and strawberries.


The second picture was taken spontaneously. For no reason at all. I guess the beauty of the sunset enthralled me into taking the photo subconsciously. I took it from my balcony.



The third one is a picture that I took quickly before going to Baton Rouge. My mom's friend's family, my family and I was just below the CN Tower and the angle just seemed perfect to me at the time. So, I just had to push the shutter button.


The fourth picture was taken in Baton Rouge. We ordered a Chicken Tender Salad as an appetizer. By this time I realized the "BS" button on my digital camera and my curiosity urged me to press it. The "BS" stood for Best Shot - not the swear word - and it had many different options, such as food, buildings, self-portrait, two - people picture and etc, of taking a picture. Obviously I chose the Food option because I was going to take pictures of... food.


Here is the fifth picture. Ahhh, this is what I ate. A Deluxe Hamburger. "8 oz. of Angus Pride chuck, garnished with shredded lettuce, tomato, chopped onions,dill pickle, mayonnaise and mustard. Served on a fresh toasted bun."

My mother, craving for food that contained less fat, chose the Seafood Linguini: Sautéed jumbo Black Tiger shrimp and North Atlantic Sea scallops tossed in a classic rosé sauce. Tasted AWESOME, but perhaps too creamy for my taste.


My sixth (?) picture: a bit blurry, but whatever. This picture was taken in my balcony when I was charmed by the city-ness of the area. This is my favorite picture, I think.




THE SEVENTH PICTURE: My Potato and Leek ( I used spring onions) Soup with the magic of Philadelphia Cream Cheese. Again, it was too creamy for my taste, but my friends loved it! They ended up finishing the last drop of the soup from the pot, which of course made me happy.


Eighth Picture. I took this photo excitedly when I saw the "very" awesome, huge lemon decoration on  top of the store. The amiable workers sold me vanilla ice cream on a cone (: Did I tell you that I really like ice cream?


Anyway, that was my post "displaying" what I've been up to for the past...I don't know, three weeks? Well, from the pictures you can tell that I was busy, so dont be mad at me! Cheers!
