Brunch at Adam’s

Steph and I started the morning out well with a bike ride to Palo Alto.  The ride was very pleasant, but we didn’t get to stay very long there.  We went to the Chocolate Garage and I got some of the Momotombo candies.  There was a big barbershop choir there and they sounded pretty good.  It was different to hear the barbershop style of singing as a choir instead of a pure quartet.

A group of us got together at Adam’s today for Brunch.  It was really nice of him to have us over since he had spent the last week at his new job.  From what I can tell he isn’t used to working so much.  It was rather tasty, with Adam providing eggs, bacon, and liquor soaked fruit.  I brought the chocolates I had just picked up.  We went to the movie Pacific Rim, but weren’t joined by Tina and Amit.  Nick, Adam, Steph, and Andrew left from there to go to the movie.  At the theatre we met up with Brian.

Korean BBQ

Wit, Riley, Nick, and I went to Jang Su Jang (Yelp Link) last ;night and it was quite tasty.  I haven’t been eating much meat lately, and the last time I did I got sick, so I stayed away from the actual bbq part of it.  I got some of the tasty tofu, dumpling soup.  I really enjoyed the food and the company.  Afterwards we went to Honeyberry (Yelp Link) for desert.  I got the creme cheese roti bun, and it was delicious.

Monday Volleyball … ish

Yesterday after finishing work, I went to Stanford to play volleyball.  Not many of the people that I wanted to play with were there.  Nima was, but the other people playing volleyball were much better than him, and he is much better than me.  I decided to not bother those guys too much, and let Nima play a game without me.  I got a little bit more work done while he was playing and got to watch two pretty good games at the same time.  We then went to Sliders in Palo Alto.  We split a pitcher of Great White, which was a nice orange beer.  The sweet potato fries were really tasty, and I got 2 sliders to complete the dinner.  I went over to Steph’s after that and saw her finish off her Messenger bag for the Faith outfit.  It was really nice.

Working and Meeting with People in the City

I had a great time in the city today.  I took Caltrain in and biked to Chris’ place.  We worked on our respective items, and he was nice enough to make me some eggs with spinach, tomato, and onion.  He also gave me some delicious tea.  He always has the tastiest loose leaf tea.  We worked until around 1:30, when I left to go meet Bo at Sightglass Coffee.  The coffee was pretty good, but I still prefer tea to coffee.  We talked over a lot of stuff, and he seems to be doing well with the Meteor work.  Even though he isn’t working for Meteor directly he seems to be doing the next best thing.  I caught the train back and stopped by Milk Pail and Safeway on the way home.

The Creamery in Palo Alto

We went to the Creamery in Palo Alto for dinner, and I got the crispy buffalo chicken sandwich.  I was joined by Riley, Steph, Tina, Candice, and Brian.  We chatted about all sorts of stuff, most of it drama and board games.  The milkshakes that Steph and Tina got were really tasty, and they were both kind enough to share a good bit of them with me.  Milkshakes with Oreo are amazing, but so bad for any diet.

Milk Pail Morning

This morning Steph and I went by the Milk Pail Market.  It was a nice bike ride and we filled up both of our backpacks for $25.  I got some interesting lemon cucumbers, that I’m looking forward to trying.  We got some Stilton for Steph, and I got a piece of jalapeno cheese, both of which were fantastic.  We looked up how to harvest olives and walnuts as we have both growing in my backyard and they will be ready to harvest in a month or so.  The walnuts are already falling of the tree and I’ll start grabbing them each morning and getting them starting to dry.  I’ll brine a good number of olives once they start falling off the tree.  Steph wants to try making olive oil, but I think I’ll stick to brining some jars of olives as that is much easier.

A Dominican Tuesday

We had a really nice tuesday in the Dominican Republic. We got up early to get to the dive shop but once we got there we realized it cost more than we had thought and I ran by an atm to get the extra. The dives were great as we went to Catalina Island to a place called the wall and the aquarium. We got 4 lionfish on the dives and 2 of then were big enough to eat. The lionfish was pretty tasty as it wasn’t fishy and was very light. I would love to get some more lionfish fillet. We played some volleyball and had lunch on the island as the dive master Igor told us how he ended up being in the Dominican Republic. He wad s really relaxed guy as was the whole staff. During the dives we saw some rays some eels lots of corals and sponges and fish of all kinds. When boating back to shore we had a fun ride with a few flying fish jumping out of our way. When we got back to shore the others were just driving up and we went to a restaurant for a apetizer that carlos liked which was starch stuffed with meat and fried. We went back to the house and relaxed had dinner and played Settlers.

Monday in the Dominican

We were hoping to go to the caves today but they are closed on Mondays. We also couldn’t go to the private beach because there was construction. It seems that Monday is a great day to be closed in the Dominican Republic. We went back to the gated houses and hung out at the pool. We got drinks at the swim up bar even though the actual swim up bar area wasn’t functional the wait staff brought it out to us at the swim up bar.

We played 500 which was fun. The pina coladas were delicious. We stopped by a truck stop for lunch and got some of the local food. It gave all of us a sleepy attitude and we went back to the house and got a couple hours of sleep. When we woke up we brought out the chips and played a game of Settlers. Since scuba was the next morning we decided to call it early.

Dinner in the Dominican

Carlos took us down by one of the developments his company has been working on for dinner. We ate at a place called Cafe Bistro. I got the fish fillet because the waiter suggested it and I was not dissapointed in the least. Driving so far has not been as crazy as Carlos had claimed but I have only been here late at night on a weekend so far.
