Egg Scramble

So this morning I woke up in a pretty good mood so I made myself a pretty delicious bowl of scrambled eggs with vegetables and feta cheese with mediterranean herbs. I documented it with my new Canon t2i as an exercise in close-up and food photography. So here it is! You will need: 1 tomato, diced. 1/6 of a Yellow onion, chopped. 1/4 of a green pepper, chopped. 1/3 of a box of mushrooms, cut into thick cubes. a handful...

A Truly Fantastic Saturday Afternoon

So a few weeks ago, NW from Wei Ningqi Does China invited me to eat at this amazing restaurant in Flushing, Queens called Fu Run, but I was unable to make it due to a last minute conflict.

They are the Grey-Azure of the Sky on the First Rays of Dawn

I sit here in the gloom of my room at 11:43 pm on Tuesday May 8th and my fingers itch to write something meaningful, but nothing comes. Instead, I listen to "Somebody That You Used To Know" for the umpteenth time today. Certain phrases in that song swirl throughout my head. Is that what it feels like? What I did months back? I actually identify much more with Kimbra's part: "Now and then I think about all the times that you screwed me over. But had me believing  it was always something that I'd done.
