Burger-licious
Jes had a craving for a burger so we had SuperDuper for dinner last night!
I know I’ve blogged about this place before but my burger was so pretty that I had to snap a photo and post it.
Fruits and Veggies
On Monday, we bought a big box of mangoes from Costco and they have been so good. I think I’ve eaten a mango each day this week! Last night as I was cutting one up, I had a craving for Thai coconut sticky rice. So, I made it. And it was delicious. Thanks for the secret recipe, Mommy! I’ll make sure to pass it down to Kumquat when she’s older.
Yesterday, Kumquat and I made our usual trip to the Farmer’s Market and picked up some kale and romanesco.
Since Jes is on a 3-day cleanse, I cooked them up for dinner tonight. I tossed the romanesco in olive oil and sprinkled on some salt. They baked in the oven at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes and it was so tasty!
I also had some kale left over after making Kumquat’s baby food so we cooked it up with some bacon!!! I actually thought the steamed kale that I made for Kumquat was good but this was so much better…of course.
Who thought eating fruits and veggies could be so easy?! I guess if the baby loves it, there’s no reason why we shouldn’t too.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
I love my little valentine.
In the studio…
On Sunday afternoon, I met up with my co-worker, Renee, for our second photoshoot. I guess she loved the photos from two years ago so much that she wanted to take more this year.
This time she rented out a dance studio in the Mission for two hours and it was a gorgeous space filled with lots of natural light and had vaulted ceilings.
I rented a strobe kit for the shoot, which helped fill the shadows and helped me capture her poses just right. Here are a few of my favorites so far.
I still have lots of processing to do but I thought I’d do a few tonight.
I love this one. She’s so talented.
Here is the entire album.
Lunar New Year
It’s the Year of the Snake and we had a full day of celebrations. In the morning, we had Dim Sum with the Bangs and the Sokol-Juns minus Ryan. 
Luckily we got to Yank Sing at 10:30 (they open at 10) so we didn’t have to wait long for a table and the carts came to the table right away. Sweet. 
We were done by 12 and Kumquat got home in time for her nap. Can you see her fish-eyeing in Jes’ lap? She was pooped.
Look at how big all the kids are now. Pretty soon Kumquat won’t be the youngest with Baby Girl Chiang expected in March.
After my photoshoot, Ranee came over and the cheeksters had their monthly play date and we also got a short run outside too!
For dinner, we had Jason, the Agustins, and Victor over for hot pot. 
Kumquat suddenly started to cry during dinner and we thought she didn’t like sitting next to Uncle Jimmy but she was actually really tired. She passed out as soon as I put her down in her bed.
It was so fun to see so many friends in one day. Why can’t it be like this more often?!
Just like old times…
Now that the Sokol-Juns have moved out of the city, we rarely get to hang out anymore. Fortunately for me, they still commute into the city everyday for work and school.
So, on Friday I met up with Michelle and the kids for dinner at Burger Joint. It was fun to see the kids again and how much they’ve grown and changed.
Kumquat loved watching them as she ate her tofu and watermelon.
She was especially enamored with Reese. So cute.
