home cooked meal... chicken curry!

Had a pretty busy weekend, been eating out non-stop the whole weekend... actually starting last weekend. We had a primerib dinner at Sony's boss's home. She had cooked primerib, chicken, some vege, and lobster & avacado salad.

One week of primerib wasn't enough for me, so we went to House of Primerib with 二阿姨﹐which is still as good as ever, still prefer it over Broadway Prime.
Then on Saturday we had Japanese food at Sanraku on Sutter Street in Downtown SF with Sony's co-workers for Jacq's birthday. The food was okay, nice looking, but very small portions... Chirashi was good, I like the vinegar rice, but only very few pieces of sashimi. Sonia's teriyaki was different, the chicken seemed to have been marinated first then charboiled. Nice alternative to the american style where they just pour the sauce on afterwards. Her co-workers also bought oreo cheesecake from the "Factory" which ruined my diet. Then had a nice sip of sake. Learned a little bit of Japanese tradition of pouring sake. Lastly, had sushi rolls with Sony's Bandmates. Nothing special, but had 豬腳僵 afterwards.
Finally stayed home monday and cooked curry for me and Sony for Tuesday. Really good Japanese style chicken curry. Below are some pictures.

熱熱熱

Finally had a long weekend this past week. LABOR DAY! Did a lot this weekend compared to the previous few weekends like, BBQ, Gilroy outlet & hot pot. I didn't buy anything at Gilroy, but it was nice to be just out and walking. 阿婷 did buy "Rent-the Movie", but find it not to my liking.. :P Been a really hot weekend too, 不過係熱氣既“熱”﹗ My throat has been bothering me ever since Sunday's BBQ. For the BBQ we prepared steak skewers, chicken wings, sweet potatoes, corn, & mushroom, all were pretty good. We also grilled a cuttlefish, which is a first for me.
I've been going to the bathroom constantly though, because of all the water I've drank during the past two days in the office to sooth my throat! I guess I brought it on to myself... first it was Outback style primerib & onion bloom, then BBQ, and then on Monday night... HOT POT!!! I need to cool myself down these few days to get ready for another primerib feast this coming weekend. Anyways here are some pics from that day, you could see more by clicking on the picture below.
