Day 39 Since You've Been Gone - Thurs Sept 23

It's the first day Michael has cooked for us since we have all been back. Look how happy he is! :D Dinner composed of scallops (which are currently frying in this picture) as well as beans. He has really gotten into making "Western" food, which Wen and him both agree is easier to make than Chinese food. He also did this appetizer thing where you first toast the bread with olive oil and then grate raw garlic on top of it. It's way easier than chopping it up and it getting burned onto the bread. And then we ate it with cheese and meats. We shall do it for you when you return.


We were celebrating Wen's GRE score (she did very well and does not need to take it again, yay!) as well as Michael's interview invites for UC Davis as well as New York Medical College. He will be in NY late next month and in Davis mid-January. I'm still waiting for mine... :/ Anyhow, we had champagne with our meal. Now that you can drink, we will definitely start exposing you to wine (since it sounds like you have already been exposed to beer and mixed drinks :P).


I will keep trying to update as we do more stuff without you. Hehe. Miss you and hope you are having lots of fun!

Day 38 Since You've Been Gone - Wed Sept 22

Today was our first dessert + tea time with the three of us back together in San Diego. It also happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival so of course we had to have mooncake, courtesy of my mom and the Golden Gate Bakery.


Of course, everybody missed having you at the table, as you can see by their sad faces. Hehe. ;)


We were having our dessert during our usual tea time. It was greatly missed and we were all excited to start up our routine again.
