about the experiment.......

ok, here's the deal about the ube cake. this was actually my 2nd attempt...but this time, i tried to put butter icing. i am not a pastry chef nor an amateur pastry chef. i don't even know how to cook. i had a day off today due to a holiday - Shavuot (one of the perks working for a jewish organization). i got bored and since i still have enough ingredients to bake i cake, well as you can tell, i decided to make one. i would have opted to my favorite babana-nut muffin but i only have one banana left and no nuts (laugh but keep it to yourself).

experimentation

just trying to learn how to bake an ube (purple yam) cake. it might look weired but it taste soooooooooooo goooooood. another successful creation. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

walk the walk.........

so last nite was movie nite. j and i saw shrek 3. we went to the midnight showing which was great...........less crowded and actually the audience is more interactive (yes, people were responding to every joke...including j). as usual, we went to gyu kaku before that, which basically the cost of my lunch for the whole week....yes, gyu kaku is not a very cheap place especially if you order about 10 servings for meat for only 2 people.

anyhow, today is a momentous event for me. for the first time, i finally did something unimaginable....i went to gathering in support of a good cause. went to the AIDS Walk New York. I am so proud of myself. I managed to collect $180 from co-workers to sponsor me. The amount might not be big but I don't care. It's for a good cause.

By the way, a BIG SHOUT OUT to Cheryl -- my "Campaign Manager". If it wasn't for Cheryl, I definitely would not be able to get the $180 sponsorship.
