Blueberry Muffins
I am finding myself baking for breakfast! I really should minimize baking now that the weather is pretty warm. By the way, bakin is great in the winter. Anyhow, these blueberry muffins are the most delicious – moist in the inside and sweet/crunchy on the top. I just couldn’t pass them up. Muffin Ingredients 1...
An afternoon with Oreo
The day has gotten longer such that it’s still light out when I get home from work. It’s awesome to be able to hangout with Oreo in the yard at the end of the day. He loves it! It is also great to see all the leaves that are coming out and flowers beginning to...
Corn & Cranberry Pancakes
I tend to like my breakfast on the savory side than sweet but these pancakes are pretty awesome. This is the recipe I used. Ingredients 2 cups of flours 1/2 cup of cornmeal 2 tbs sugar 1 tbs baking powder 1/4 tps salt 1 cup milk 2 eggs 1 tbs olive oil 1 cup of...
Hard Frost
The weather this year has been strange. Having seasons is a new thing for me coming from California, but having seasons all mixed up is definitely not normal, even for Vermont. Just last month, we broke several record high with several days reaching 80 degrees. Then comes today. Freeze warning has been issued for tonight...

Some of the activities are go fishing, visit a state park, go camping, and such. Each activity will gain you...
Sprouting Experiment
In the mist of depressing winter, I started to think about what I could possibly grow. Then, I tested them out. First, it was shiitake mushroom. Then, I tried growing potatoes under light in the basement. That required a bit of work and not a lot of yield. This time, I experimented with sprouting which...
Andy
I can still vividly remember the day we first met. The second I walked in the room, our eyes locked. Like nothing else existed, we immediately gravitated toward each other. I picked him up in my arms and he peacefully rested there. In that moment, I knew we belong to each other. And that was...
Country vs City
I woke up to the sight of snow today. It’s probably not strange to have snow in March here. What strange is that it was 80 degrees just a couple weeks ago. I feel bad for all the bulbs that bolted out from the ground thinking it was warm enough. I feel bad for the...
Tulips
While it is a little too cold for tulips outdoor, my indoor tulips are blooming. I was just playing with different angles here but I just couldn’t get over how pretty they are. Click on images for larger version. They are worth it!
Forsythia
This is a series of photos dedicated to the Forsythia shrub in our yard. It was glorious for a little over a week and killed abruptly by frost overnight. Our yellow house blends in with the Forsythia on the front. Fortunately, during one of those days when it reached 80′s, I saved some branches after...
Relaxation Music
As I grow older, there is a significant change in my music taste. Instead of upbeat fast Trance music, I gravitate toward Chill/Lounge. Then, the more yoga practice I do, the more I crave for that Zen music. In this digital age, downloading music is a thing in the past. I can’t remember the last...
Homemade Supreme Pizza
The idea of making pizza grow on me quickly. It is so easy to make that I can’t believe I didn’t try making it sooner. The most important ingredients are pizza dough, marinara sauce, and cheese. The rest of the ingredients are whatever you like or find. And that’s the most awesome part of making...
