90%

Almost completely recovered, but still a little off-color. Gizos brought me "sick soup", the dear. I also successfully attempted to go to lab.

Illness and Recovery

Recovering from (being):

Very sick.
Nausea.
Fever.
Puke.

No picture, of course. (This is a backdated post, obviously.) And, I missed my exam...

Unni

This is an old picture, reinforcing the fact that I haven't seen you in too long! I'm glad we managed to catch up yesterday, unni. Bogosippo...

Post-paper-writing Silliness

Okay, so I was still working on my references at this point, but hey, the paper has essentially been written.

Pithari Taverna


Greek food at Pithari Taverna. Clockwise from top: appetizers ntakos kritikos (diced tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, olives, oregano and olive oil over bread), and melitzanosalata (roasted eggplant, garlic, olive oil & herbs spread); entree mousakas (eggplant, potatoes, ground beef, bechamel), and lahanodolmades (my favorite - cabbage stuffed with meat and rice, topped with egg lemon sauce).

P.S. all names and descriptions from their online menu, of course - no chance that I'd remember any of that!

The reason for the feast: Gizos' birthday!
Dom gunun kutlu olsun, canlm~

No Shows

March 18, (Thu) - Stressing out about lab rotations hence, no mood or thought for photos.

March 19, (Fri) - Spring barbecue, photos in another camera (not mine).

March 20, (Sat) - Slept in, then attempted to do work, while the beautiful day beckoned from my window.

A Foggy Night

The fog doesn't show up that well, but believe me, t'was an eerie night fit for spooks and haunts.

Pomelo


This was the bottle of Sauvignon Blanc used in preparing the Valentine's Day meal; we picked the wine purely for that nice picture on the bottle. ;) Coincidentally, there's a pomelo salad recipe that popped up on my blog roll today.

Just for kicks, this is a picture of what real pomelos look like (photo taken Dec '08 in Tambun, Perak, in Malaysia, where real pomelos live and die):

At the Ramen Shop


Hakata ramen (noodles in salty (tonkotsu?) broth with pork, pickled cabbage, scallions, ginger, carrots and sesame seeds) at Rai Rai Ramen.

The waiter talked us into trying a Taiwanese/Hong Kong specialty: stinky tofu!

Trying to suppress the gag reflex against tofu that smelled like feet.

This is How I Will Go Blind


This is pretty much what my screen has looked like for the past two days, hence only one picture for today and yesterday. (Yes, this is a cop-out).
