~ A pink cake on Sunday !

　　　　


... cranberry cheesecake　【= 覆盆莓乳酪蛋糕】


        I love weekends now that I do not have to worry about duties and exams and plenty whatnots at Physiatry (until two weeks later at least :-) ). Today I did some laundry and cleaning up, and then headed for the rooftop for some photoshoots. The weather was really nice, there were gushes of breeze but it was not cold. Occasionally rays of sunshine (!) would peek through the buildings and drench the rooftop in golden light, that's when I would rush to my camera for shoots -- I just love the light effects! 

        I was actually planning to go to Aunt Stella's in the evening to stock up on those yummy cookies, but in the end I was too lazy and just walked to a nearby cafe for dinner. It turned out great as there were some new seasonal items on the menu. I had spaghetti in pesto sauce with smoked slices of duck and herbed potato wedges. For dessert, I ordered  cranberry cheesecake (which you see in the photo above), but was too stuffed so I brought it home to be enjoyed later. By the way, isn't the blue-rimmed dessert plate in the photo lovely? There was a flea market outside the cafe today and while waiting for my meal, I wandered there and found this classic porcelain plate. And can you believe it? I got it for (guess what) NT30!!! Oh, I just adore flea markets!

        As of right now, I still have not eaten the cake because I was preoccupied with schoolwork. I wonder what it tastes like :-)  Sorry I just can't seem to find time to translate these things but it's no loss really because it's all meaningless ramblings of an idle glutton   LOL　Guten nacht! ♥

~ Strawberries for the weekend ! 

　　　　　

... la fraise　【= 法文: 草莓】


        Phew! This week sure was a tough one, not least because I went down with flu and had to endure two sleepless nights thanks to horribly blocked nose and 39-degree Celsius fever. To make things worse, I had to present two reports
for Global Health, not to mention my Dermatology finals and my Radiology conote workload. Anyway, I got through it all, SAFE! as they would say in baseball, so that's that then.

        During the weekend, I celebrated the end of my misery with a huge dinner that had me literally stuffed until this morning. I had some really nice sashimi and sushi and soft-shelled crabs and was ultimately one satisfied girl, albeit a grossly stuffed one :-)  Then I went snack-shopping (hey it's winter, right?) but ended up with just a box of strawberries. By the way, I think strawberries are one of the ugliest fruit you'll ever come across -- they remind me of acne-pockmarked face with severe erythema and pustules (I'm really sick I know) and whatnots.

        Well, I guess that's it for now. I'm going to Rehabilitation tomorrow, and if it did not turn out too tiring, I might have some time to translate my diaries. Until then, good night! 　♥

~ Something scrumptious for sweet November ...

　　　　　

... cookies from Aunt Stella's


        Mid-term exams started this week, and suddenly I found myself buried under tons of lesson notes, reports and untouched textbooks. I'm really an expert procrastinator sometimes. To make things worse, the weather took a downward plunge and now it has become an onerous task just to get out of bed and go to work. Depressing really, hence the need for sickeningly saccharrine treats, like cookies and chocolates and bonbons :-)

        Fortunately, despite all this, I had a good week. I got a nice tote by Dressterior which comes with the December issue of Spring magazine, and it was a perfect fit for my Acer netbook :->  And today I had a really great dinner at Irodori Sushi, but Sogo was sooo packed that I gave up shopping.  I just bought some cookies and grocery and went straight home. I think I am going to cook tomorrow, maybe the celery potato potage and some nice hot stew!

        Bonne nuit for now! I can hardly keep my eyes open XD
