I’m thinking of going to the Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival the weekend of October 18th and 19th. Their pancake breakfast at 7am on Saturday sounds very yummy! Anyone interested in going?
Today is all about craft things, don’t ask me why… maybe it’s because I did make my first card this weekend after a long time of not having time to.
I purchased these beautiful clay flowers while in Singapore which looked very realistic so I was searching around to see if it’s something that I can learn how to make. Apparently there are classes available in the Bay Area.
They are really stunning, I wish I had this as a wedding bouquet because they can almost last forever!
So beautiful!!
My coworker says she just went to this place this weekend and found some really good deals on craft supplies. I’m looking forward to visiting sometime soon to check it out…

The first Saturday of October… I guess I ended up participating by making a card for my friend’s baby’s red egg and ginger party 🙂 It’s been a while since I’ve made a card so I’m a bit rusty with the skills! I hope to have more time to practice.

We went out to Oakland to visit with my dad and had lunch together at one of our favorite Korean BBQ Restaurants. This is one of the places where we were first introduced to the concept of Korean BBQ and where we had our first learning lesson of not wearing your best clothes to have Korean BBQ.
We got there about 1pm for lunch and there were only a few other tables occupied. During evenings, you would usually have to wait for a while to get seated. I’m guessing it was quiet since it is Saturday and there are less businesses open.
I really like their side dishes, as you can see my dad is already digging in.
(From top left to right: tofu, broccoli, spicy cucumber, kimchi AND
bottom left to right: eggplant-one of my favorites, black beans, spicy radish, and octopus)
The octopus was a new one to us, simple with spicy sauce drizzled on top.
We didn’t do the BBQ thing today but I wanted to try something I haven’t had yet so I ordered the kimchi tofu rice cake stir fry. It was a bit too sour for me and I wished it had more rice cakes. It has plenty of fatty bacon though so if you like that, this is the way to go.
Ron ordered the stone bowl bibimbap which came out sizzling hot and continued to sizzle through the whole meal. He had to keep on stirring it around to aerate it to cool it down. I love all the vegetables in bibimbap… makes you think you’re eating something healthy!
We have leftovers, enough for another full meal 😛
We went to the Korean supermarket, Koreana Plaza, to stock up on Korean foods… we’re going to have a yummy week!
