January Recap

恭喜發財!
Onward to a new year (on the lunar calendar). I have a mini backlog of photos from last month that I'd like to share with you all so let's get to it.


Hiked up Sweeney Ridge in the San Bruno area. The view depicted above shows SFO as seen from the trail.

And looking towards the Pacific Ocean from Sweeney Ridge on a gorgeous afternoon.

A pic of my homemade minestrone. Some of the ingredients include vegetable stock, cannellini beans, edamame, spinach, roma tomatoes, carrots, onions, mushrooms, zucchini, fresh basil. seashell pasta & a bit of quinoa. A very hearty, healthy and delicious soup for sure!

Another of my recent kitchen creations: spinach, mushroom, shallot quiche. I even made the crust from scratch. Pretty good, though it took a bit more effort than I originally anticipated.

During one of the lovely weather days that blessed California a couple weeks ago, I made it out to Half Moon Bay. I'm bloody glad I did since I've never been at the beach there on a warmer, or clearer, day (this includes trips to HMB in the middle of summer). Amazing.

Foot in sea foam (2011).

Mari & I enjoying the fine weather out at Oceanview Park in HMB (yeah, you couldn't see the ocean from there).

Now the lovely weather has passed and the "chill" of winter has returned to Cali. Onward to February. Happy year of the Rabbit everyone!
