Saturday Morning

It was rainy and gloomy on Friday so I didn't expect that my house was filled with sunshine on Saturday morning. Sitting at the balcony and listening to the coffee machine brewing was just fun and lovely. Going to apple picking soon!

Applebee's Salads

I am not a fan of national fast food chains, since I am not comfortable eating burger or sandwich as my lunch (either because I don't get used to eat bread for lunch or I am too picky). And, I am very tired of choosing among Caesar salad, Home salad, or Garden salad (Hi chefs, may you be one step further innovative?). BUT, I found my favorite salad at Applebee's - California Shrimp Salad. This salad consists of many of my beloved elements including shrimp, avocado, and black olives. The crumbled bacon also adds a lovely crispy & crunchy flavor in your mouth, making every bite so so adorable. PLUS, their pecan-crusted chicken salad is also worth trying. 

Peaceful Afternoon

A peaceful afternoon at my balcony. Smelling the drizzling air mixing with the harvesting aroma in my garden, and thinking nothing. What a beautiful release. We all need a time to be just empty, clean and fresh. 

Snapshots - Life on the Go!

Hiking at Niagara Gorge

Last one month probably was my most relaxed time during the past two years (actually I was pretty busy with my work transition and moving into a new house, but I felt great starting a more settled-down life) and I took so many pictures during my travel to Chicago and dining experience several restaurants in Rochester before I leave this lovely city. OK, but there was something wrong with my camera SD card so I have to fix it before I can show you in this blog, hopefully my pics will be safe there since they are my very valuable asset. Life has been great - I moved into a new house and I am already starting discovery of great restaurants in Buffalo/Niagara - I just constantly find new projects for myself to do. The pictures here were all taken by my phone, so they are not very appealing but still records for my life.
