Our first picture of the New Year

David & Zoe

I had my first Korean meal with David and Zoe. It was a great experience and the meat was very tender. 

 Here's an early picture of David, Zoe and Chi Trang before taking them to the airport. Had a nice one on one time with Zoe and David...Loved every second of it. Miss them.

Foie Gras

Finally had some foie gras that I can craving for at Kata Robata.
It is tossed with Soba (Cold noodles) and thinly sliced duck (not gamey at all).

I had been wanting to go to Uchi but their wait time is ridiculous and reservations are weeks out in advance unless you want to go on a Wednesday night. I do not want to go on a Wednesday night.

So we stumbled upon this restaurant while eating at Dessert Gallery weeks ago when we were waiting for Amber to wrap up her movie date (We were the chaperons/ride).


Thumbs up for decor an ambiance. They are proud of their prices but for the quality, I think it's worth it. Make sure you have a reservations for Friday,

Saturday or Sunday.

Tet 2015

This year, I don't know what happen to the gamblers but they were hard to locate.
But finally we got to play some at Co's house.

It was fun. I didn't ever win at LCR but that's ok. Phoung introduced us to a new game. It's the 3 card scratch game but with a twist. You get to trade what ever cards you want, faced down, until no one wants to trade with you. It made the game quite competitive and a lot more fun.

Dad

You know, it's just a nice familiar thing to see...My daddy on his computer, tinkering away.

Early Tet

The year of the Goat!
David won back to back the opening of the LCR games.

Since we did it early, the mood of gambling was not as fierce as it normally would be.
But we can always count on Vien to keep the games interesting.

This was the first year we had Dan join the family for the toasts. Here's to a stronger and always loving New Year. Come on Luck, let it be Good and full of abundance.

Ouch

I lost my running partner due to a diagnose of early onset arthritis at the knees... This was him pre-pain. The last four weeks have been brutal for him to even bend his knees but more so for the fact that he couldn't stay active. Yesterday he got his cortisone shot and he can bend again. The power of steroids. Miracles of miracles! (Of course he won't take the doc's advice to stop running) I certainly would. . . . No brainer there for me.
