mufellata at maspero's, seafood gumbo at cheesecake bistro, beignets from cafe du monde, po boys and texas toast. :) and the most entertaining of all is lambert cafe - the home of throwed rolls. it's amusing to have the waiters to throw rolls fresh from the oven halfway across the room.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IP2i6pUay0M/R5QhQaI-1KI/AAAAAAAAAPk/jWf6PWMPHYg/s1600-h/IMG_0147.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IP2i6pUay0M/R5QhQaI-1KI/AAAAAAAAAPk/jWf6PWMPHYg/s200/IMG_0147.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157784039024678050" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IP2i6pUay0M/R5QhS6I-1LI/AAAAAAAAAPs/km2Wr_FT5sA/s1600-h/IMG_0152.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IP2i6pUay0M/R5QhS6I-1LI/AAAAAAAAAPs/km2Wr_FT5sA/s200/IMG_0152.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157784081974351026" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IP2i6pUay0M/R5QhTKI-1MI/AAAAAAAAAP0/lW_D9Y6THqc/s1600-h/IMG_0158.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IP2i6pUay0M/R5QhTKI-1MI/AAAAAAAAAP0/lW_D9Y6THqc/s200/IMG_0158.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157784086269318338" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IP2i6pUay0M/R5QhTqI-1NI/AAAAAAAAAP8/bKavIn9_7S4/s1600-h/IMG_0187.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IP2i6pUay0M/R5QhTqI-1NI/AAAAAAAAAP8/bKavIn9_7S4/s200/IMG_0187.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157784094859252946" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IP2i6pUay0M/R5QiYaI-1OI/AAAAAAAAAQE/QAF2AdZa14A/s1600-h/IMG_0166.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IP2i6pUay0M/R5QiYaI-1OI/AAAAAAAAAQE/QAF2AdZa14A/s200/IMG_0166.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157785275975259362" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>the end of winter break means embarking into the winter quarter meant that it'll be less than 6 months before i would be forced to find a job and grow up. it's exciting. it's scary. it's stressful. it's a change. i NEED to find a job and it doesn't help my self esteem when everyone else around me has already received offers from companies.<br /><br /><br /><br />i'm only taking 3 classes this quarter and for a change i have only 3 days of classes. but even though i have 2 other free days, it almost seems like i have classes every single day. the research i'm planning to do, working in the lab, group meeting for my classes consume quite a bit of my time. but thankfully i'm making a point to enjoy myself despite being busy. and of course my idea of having fun is having dinner parties with friends. :) food is good. and i just made my first ever cheesecake last friday - the ultimate cheesecake with blueberry topping. i didn't come up with the name but it's delicious. i consider it a success.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IP2i6pUay0M/R5Qfa6I-1JI/AAAAAAAAAPc/V5WGi6aLXSY/s1600-h/IMG_0276.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IP2i6pUay0M/R5Qfa6I-1JI/AAAAAAAAAPc/V5WGi6aLXSY/s200/IMG_0276.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157782020390048914" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IP2i6pUay0M/R5QfaqI-1II/AAAAAAAAAPU/aQ5TmVKnffY/s1600-h/IMG_0284.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IP2i6pUay0M/R5QfaqI-1II/AAAAAAAAAPU/aQ5TmVKnffY/s200/IMG_0284.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157782016095081602" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />i promise i'll write more...sometime :)<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5719255053877780398-1676019766018416478?l=sianmei.blogspot.com'/></div>s i a n m e ihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08255366533124958083noreply@blogger.com2
