"An American In Paris"

Must see movie for fans who love dancing, superb picture, Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron.

The clip above is just the last few minutes of the 18 minutes of dancing, which featured Gene Kelly [and Caron] amazing ballet performance extravaganza.

Check it out!

Lookie lookie...

so Excited to use this =)))

now I need Polaroid Films and tons of it!

*i hope it works

What's for lunch...?

roasted Brussel Sprouts and Garlic Brown Rice =)

Not fond of sauteed brussel sprouts, I heart it roasted.

Nutty and crunchy.

Beginning at Bouchon

This was how my January 1st started...

Dinner with mi familia at Bouchon in Yountville --- up North.

Bouchon is listed on my Restaurant Must-To-Go list.

Started by famed French chef, Thomas Keller

So I was super excited to go...

I like the ambience of the restaurant.

It is an upscale-casual joint. Good thing we didn't have to dress up b/c we are not that sort of family; unless we have to, that is =)

Anyway, about the food...

For appetizer: we had variety of Oysters. Oh, I heart oysters =)

And poached salmon with salad.

I had the Croque Madame w/ Black Truffle Pomme Frites.

The Croque Madame was oozing with goodness. And the Truffle Pomme Frites, to die for.

Dad had the Truite aux Topinambours [pan-roasted trout with roasted sunchokes, marinated mushrooms, toasted almond & beurre noisette]

This was delicious.

Mother had the poached Salmon w/ beets.

And Rej had the (pictured above the Salmon) Poulet Roti [roasted chicken with crispy spatzle, winter squash, chestnuts & white wine poached pears with whole grain mustard jus].

I liked it, but he wasn't into it =/ Oh well...

This is Rej's Mousse au Chocolat Noir.

It was rich, creamy, and chocolaty.

Divine...

I opted for a cup of coffee.

it was a lovely way to spend the first day of 2010.

That Little Mexican Place.

After a crazy party Friday we needed something that would guide us towards a gentle recovery so to say. We headed to That Little Mexican Place in North Perth and let them take care of it for us. And I must say that it was the completely right decision to make as they showered us with two plates full of joy and hot Mexican coffee. Yum yum we then said, wiped our greasy fingers and left to spend the rest of the weekend on the beach surfing. In a bikini! A triple yey for summer.

Love, E

My favourite find for this year.

And I'll say just like Sophie: 'Hey 2010 wanna make out?'

Love, E

Have a banana mama.

I was close to a melt down today. No. Literally. It has been forty degrees here for the last two days and the AC in my car is not working like it should. As in blowing icy air on my face. What it does is rather the opposite. No fun kiddies I can tell you that. And just to make things a tad worse for wear I have been taking care of some errand for the whole day of today which means that the hot car and I have been joint by the hip. Oh boy what I wouldn't give for a cool breeze at the moment. What's that I hear? AC in the house? Nah. Not my house either. Oh boy oh boy. Come and scrape my melted remains off this floor of mine.

Love,
E

P.S But the cold banana berry thing did help a bit.
