We went for happy hour karaoke, with songs in taiwanese!
Then dinner at Jurassic, very classy!
We have a cone at home, it might come in handy one day.

Birthday Cake
It was Martin Hsu’s birthday earlier this week, but we were celebrating him today and I made him a cake. I got help with the decoration from Mika and Winnie, we made a Panda Bear since he is Chinese.
Oh, and the Cats of the Day; the Double Decker!
Mammoth Day 2
There were some “dusting” overnight, so I made a point of getting up early for some great fresh snow. I got to borrow a better camera today as well. Doesn’t this make you want to go skiing?
We only stayed at the mountain half day so we could get back to LA fairly early, but we wanted to stop by the hot springs on the way home. We made a wrong turn and ended up by a hot creek instead – that wasn’t very hot…
Came back to LA in time for dinner – noodles at my favorite restaurant in Sawtelle.
Mammoth
It’s been a pretty poor season this far with not much snow, but I was super excited to go skiing this weekend! I guess a little too excited as I forgot to bring the battery to my camera… had to rely on the good old iPhone today!
After ski in the hot tub!
More Cake
There’s a lot of birthdays this week so we decided to run into Whole Foods and grab some treats.
We’re going up to Mammoth this weekend so I had to wax my skis!
LA Sightseeing
Whenever there’s friends and family in town we do the usual LA Sightseeing route; it starts at Santa Monica Pier.
We saw sea lions in the water.
Stop two was Hollywood.
Hollywood Boulevard
Last stop today was Downtown LA and the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
Sunday Food
I wasn’t craving potatoes or anything, but I still decided to make potato chips – it’s super easy, just slice the potato in thing slices, put it in the owen with olive oil and herbs/spices until they get colorful. I read it works without the oil as well, gonna have to try that next time!
I had to balance the unhealthy with something health; freshly pressed carrot and apple juice, very awesome!

Yakitori and Hot Pot
I have grown to really enjoy Hot Pot. I dont know how healthy it is, but I am only eating the veggies so I cant imagine it being that bad for me. I however cannot seem to stop eating until the bowl of veggies are empty.
Setting the table and preparing the food, yes, a big bowl of veggies ready for my tummy!
Yakitori was on the menu as well; Japanese styled skewered chicken.
Hot Pot spicy side and the not so spicy side. I usually go for the not so spicy side…
Christmas Day
We were heading over the the Krelles’ to celebrate Christmas and saw this car on the way there, it had a Jesus sticker and a 666 license plate!
They had decorated their Christmas tree with fake snow!
Family photo time!
Time for the best part, White Elephant gift exchange!
Kids waiting to open their presents!
This guy started off getting a bottle of Vodka and Twister
But that was quickly taken away from him…
So he got a bottle of Tequila instead.
But that was taken away from him as well…
And he happily ended up with the vodka and twister at the end!
