My little sister Irene flew to LA on Friday to spend Vanderbilt's Spring Break with me... it's wonderful having her here, as I really value every second of the little time I'm able to spend with my family nowadays. For all those living at home or close to your families, I envy you... I see mine about 2-3 times a year for a weekend (when all of us are together), and maybe 1-2 times separately (when my sisters come out to visit me).

Anyhow, here are some highlights from this past weekend:

Dim sum in Chinatown, Shopping downtown, and In N Out on Saturday

Little sister and Nupur, my boyfriend's roommate, ready to eat!

BF teaching his friend Lo (another CS major visiting from UNM) how to use chopsticks

Lo eyeing the chicken feet (fong-tsap, "dragon claws" in Cantonese)

And the chicken-feet eating commences!

Lo realizing he just ate a chicken foot

BF and me, chicken-foot-free

Post dimsum hug... my little sis, me, and Nupur

Eating Chinese pastries afterwards (creme roll and cake)

Irene in Chinatown

Sis and me playing around with straw hats and imitating rice paddy girls

Irene posing for a cheesy pic with a pink parasol

Nupur follows suit

Picture of a cute little girl playing with firecracker snappers (you throw them on the ground and they pop)

Eating at In N Out after shopping at Sawtee Alley (downtown LA fashion district)... no 20x20's were ordered


Beach and food shopping on Sunday

Irene at Patrick's Roadhouse on PCH

Me and Irene smiling

BF and me pre-food

Obligatory mushy pic

The boys at the beach

Me and BF at the beach

Forgot to change the size of this pic

Shopping for red wine vinegar at Ralph's (featuring my weird hitchhiker's thumb)

Irene searching for asiago cheese

Action shopping pic

Downtown LA, driving back home (blurry)

Blurry buildings

The creme sauce (with sun-dried tomatoes)

Mandarin orange, toasted almond and gorgonzola cheese salad

Irene cutting chicken with a butter knife


In summary:

- If you're looking for a fake Gucci purse or bootlegged copy of "The Passion of the Christ" for $5, go to the Fashion District in downtown LA on Saturday.

- It is possible to substitute sharp white cheddar cheese for asiago cheese.

- Cutting a red onion with a dull butter knife sucks.

- Chicken feet should be a staple of any well-rounded Asian brunch.

That is all. :)

You're missing out on the chicken feet... have you ever tried them? :) Irene is a sweetheart... newly single after 5 years, and a little lonely at Vanderbilt because she spent so much time with her (now ex) boyfriend. If you know of anyone in the Nashville area who wants to meet up/chill with her, she'd be happy to meet them. Just send a PM. :)

I actually met him via ATOT, albeit indirectly. :) He's in the computer science Ph.D program at USC now... :heart:

Chicken feet? Man those restaurants most love you people paying to eat what normally gets thrown away.

You can have the chicken feet, I like my chcken like I like my women: breast and thighs.

never. the thought of it is just so gross... :| cow tongue is pretty good though. at least it doesnt look like a tongue... having a foot and toes around just weirds me out.

nashville huh. thats not near toronto is it? ;) i think the masses deserve to know how old she is. i venture a guess 17-18. same as me. but the 5 year bf throws it all off. *shrug*

I'm thinking of a couple of words that sound like "jealous prick"... no wait.. those ARE the words.
