Gobble Galore

Good Eats, Holiday, Laughing

I’m no math expert, but I do know that a 9+ lb. turkey is more than enough to feed two people and a baby. Throw-in a few sides (buttery mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, cranberry jelly, turkey stuffing, brussel sprouts cooked in bacon and honey, and biscuits) and you have a feast that can keep us warm throughout the winter.

I like my turkey a little rare

A happy, energetic baby…even before eating the sweet potato casserole

My first helping of food…I should’ve taken a picture after I devoured it

No more pictures, time to EAT!

Shamu-Sized Birthday

Birthday, Good Eats, Smiling, Traveling

On Tiger’s birthday, we were in San Diego and decided to celebrate the morning and early afternoon with a trip to Sea World with Tiger’s Aunt, Uncle, and Cousin. The weather was perfect and the outing to Sea World was both relaxing and refreshing. Not only did we get to see some pretty cool animals, but we got to spend time with Tiger’s cousin, eat some unhealthy foods (more on that later), and run around (not Tiger, but mama and dada) in what was Captain Kid’s World (now some Sesame Street thing). How can we top that?…by returning in a few months thanks to our newly acquired 2012 season passes! (yes, we still live in New Jersey)!

Dada, this place is almost as cold as NJ…maybe polar bears and Beluga whales live in NJ too?

I’m having a whale of a time! (okay, no more references to Sea World)

Me and my gracious Sea World hosts!

After Sea World, we went to Love Boat sushi to complete our Tour de Binge of food establishments that we’ve been craving since leaving California. The night before Tiger’s birthday, we ate bun guon (I’m sure I spelled that wrong) and got a visit from Tiger’s website’s #1 fans!

For a rundown on our Tour de Binge, here’s a semi-complete list of things we ate in less than 6 days:
-Dim sum at East Gourmet Restaurant…check
-Roasted pork…check
-Half and Half’s Iced Milk drink with boba and grass jelly…check
-Church’s chicken…check
-Mom’s home cookin’….check
-Abe Froman and Freiburger from Dog Haus…check and check
-In-N-Out fries…mini check (wish we could’ve gotten a burger also)
-Carne asada chips from Roberto’s…check
-Banh mi sandwiches…check
-Unhealthy food (Slurpy, funnel cake, churros, etc.) from Sea World…check
-Half and Half…yes, we went again (and ordered 3 drinks to split between the 2 of us)…CHECK!
-Pastries from Big Joy Family Bakery and Pangea Bakery…check
-Asian cafe courtesy of Baccali…check
-Sushi from Love Boat…check
-Tons of Asian foods…check

Things that we didn’t get to eat that were on our list were:
-Luscious Dumplings
-Jamba Juice
-MxN carne asada burrito with shrimp

Ah, at least there’s always March 2012…

This is The Life

Good Eats, Grandparents, Laughing, Smiling, Sports, Traveling

What’s better than celebrating your 1st birthday with family and friends in a sunny, yet chilly afternoon in California? Tiger was finally introduced and re-introduced to many of his relatives, some of whom he hasn’t seen since he was 1-month old. Although it must’ve been overwhelming for Tiger, seeing that he usually only sees his mom and dad everyday, he handled the long day extremely well. After singing happy birthday to Tiger, he didn’t pounce onto his chocolate cake as his mom would’ve loved to see him do, but he did get to taste some of the frosting…we’ll see in the upcoming months if Tiger has a sweet tooth like his mama or if he’s more like dada.

Once the party got started, it actually went by very quickly, so quickly that it never seemed to be enough time to catch up with everyone. As we settled in later that night, we couldn’t of been happier with how the party turned out, our friends and family that were at the party and those that sent their best wishes, and overall, definitely couldn’t of asked for a better day to celebrate this milestone with us.

Wow, is this all for me?

I finally get to spend some quality time with my grandma, grandpa, aunties, uncles, and cousins!

A party for me AND I get to play on the swing? This really is the life!

I’m making this face because I just found out that the NBA is still on strike

Time To Get the Sweaters Out

Good Eats

Winter is definitely here, so it’s time for Tiger to start dressing a lot warmer at night. So far it hasn’t dipped lower than 55 degrees, but it’s coming. We generally don’t take Tiger out too much at night, but this was a special occasion..and it gave us an excuse to let him wear his spiffy, Mr. Roger’s sweater.

Out With the Old, in With the Blue

Good Eats, Laughing, Traveling

Tigers are normally black and orange, but this particular Tiger looks cute in blue, so we dressed him up and took him on a day-trip to a Jersey City Street Festival. Thanks to socks given to him by his Auntie Angie’s mom, his ensemble is complete.

I can’t walk just yet…but when I do, look out!

Why are there so many people here? And why is it so gloomy?

Is this suppose to be a treat for me? Pink is for girls…I like blue!

Mama and Dada needs a treat too. Behold, a “brown butter & candied bacon ice cream” sandwich with 2 snickerdoodle cookies. Also behold, an “OREO heckman” sandwich with 2 chocolate, chocolate chip cookies.

Finally a family picture. Seems like we haven’t had one of these in awhile.

I think it’s time to go home…my ears are cold dada!

Eat, Eat, Eat

Good Eats, Smiling

My mama and dada loves to eat, eat, eat (although the food isn’t that great in NJ so far). Because they love to eat, I love to eat too! Sometimes my mama lets me play with my food, while at other times, my dada lets me eat my Taggie elephant (but I like eating his trunk instead of the tags that I’m suppose to eat).
