Olive Garden

As usual, we had three Zuppa Tuscana.

夏天到了

終於開始回到正常的加州天氣！
這幾天大概短袖短褲出門沒什麼問題，當然要吃些爽口點的東西了......
麻醬的作法其實很簡單，
用芝麻醬、醬油、糖、醋、水調和後，
加上蒜，及辣椒少許。
因為芝麻醬實在很難舀，分量很難抓，
做了幾次也沒真搞清楚到底各項成份的比例怎麼樣，
每次調出來的味道還都不太一樣！
不過，今天做的，味道還滿不錯！

夏天，果然要吃點夏天的東西。　:)

It's raining again......

I am molding...

A month

停了一個月。

從台灣回來發現公司又走了二個人，而突然有五份報告要在同一個星期內趕出來。
拿到了照片，也找到了新祕及平面攝影。
搞定了IRA，也終於報完了稅。
雨，也終於停了又開始下了。

Then what…?? I guess I am just still as confused as before.

Mr. Donuts

Donut在這裏當然不是什麼希奇的東西，西岸有出名的Krispy Kreme，Dunkin' Donuts則在東岸十分普遍。Mr. Donuts剛在台北開幕時打著日式甜甜圈的名號蔚為風潮，這次回去剛好經過，也特別朝聖了一下。 隨便挑了二個看起來比較不甜的，口感比較結實，也沒Krispy Kreme來的油。下次有機會試試其他比較fancy的，應該會有不同的感覺。

老張担担麵 排骨麵

不太確定這是不是之前票選有名的那一家老張。這家老張，離我家實在太近，從小就常在這裏吃。最常點的就是排骨麵，紅燒牛肉湯麵，加上一塊乾炸排骨，多好吃不敢說(外婆跟舅舅好像對他們的麵不太以為然......)，不過，也就是想重溫一下小時候的味道罷了。

復興南路 燒餅油條

二年多沒回台灣，照例下飛機還是得先來套燒餅油條先。

What the hell....??

This is the weirdest classified ad I have ever seen!! This could be a potential Jerry Springer show topic...

[WSJ] PayPal Prepares For a Challenge From Google

PayPal Prepares For a Challenge From Google By MYLENE MANGALINDAN

...But PayPal must now contend with Google. The Mountain View, Calif., Web-search giant, which has terrified Silicon Valley with its ability to quickly create new consumer products and services, is developing a rival service called GBuy. For the last nine months, Google has recruited online retailers to test GBuy, according to one person briefed on the service. GBuy will feature an icon posted alongside the paid-search ads of merchants, which Google hopes will tempt consumers to click on the ads, says this person. GBuy will also let consumers store their credit-card information on Google...
