Pseudo-Asian Beef, Egg & Tomato meal

Growing up, once in a while my family would eat a sweet/salty dish that consisted of beef, egg & tomatoes. And since we're Chinese, it would just be one of multiple dishes that we'd eat family style with rice. David & I just happened to have most of the ingredients necessary for this dish, so we attempted it, but changed it up a bit.


Our ingredients:
- strips of sirloin beef
- handful of cherry tomatoes, sliced
- 4 eggs
- handful of mushrooms
- about 1/3 sweet onion, chopped
- olive oil
- rice, or pita
- 1/2 red pepper

(for the sauce...no measurements because David just improved it to taste):
- soy sauce
- balsamic vinegar
- mang tomas all purpose sauce
- sugar
- Jack Daniel's original bbq sauce

Fish Tacos and Tomato Spinach Pasta stuff

So this post is going to be about 2 different nights of cooking.

The first was a night filled with catfish, soft taco shells, mango avacoda salsa, and stuff.

The second was a night filled with spinach, pasta, pasta sauce, and whatever else.

COOL TENNESSEE STORES + Northbound

...the last of Tennessee roadtrip blogging!

David took me to some REALLY AWESOME PLACES in Tennessee, which were HARDCORE.

So. This is part 2 of the Tennessee trip.

While we were there we went to my family reunion in Johnson City, TN. It was Friday - Sunday and featured sitting on a screened-in porch, eating, riding in a boat, water skiing, and tubing. I did all of the above and Serena did all but the water skiing part. Afterward on Monday, we went hiking at Burgess Falls outside of Cookeville, TN.

Tennessee is awesomesauce, part 1

So David & I got back from Tennessee last week after an almost-week-long trip. This trip was my first big dose of The South and my very first time meeting David's People (which is only fair, because he's already met just about all of mine). Super exciting!!

Beaches!

A few weeks ago we went to Siren Music Festival at Coney Island. It was David's very first time at Coney Island, so it was extra exciting :P We ate very greasy hot dogs, looked at stalls of stuff, listened to some music, and sat on pavement.
