Second day in Seattle

[nyankoframe]

This day was eventful because of how many times I woke up in the morning. ^^;;; I woke up around 3 am because I couldn't sleep, then around 6 am, and then finally fell asleep and woke up around 10:45 am. So I think I'm pretty much over the jet-lag. :P I definitely should be, in any case...



Since I haven't posted any pictures of the inside of my apartment, I took some this morning. The lighting's a bit off because I didn't turn on all the lights, but it's still pretty nice.







I'd posted pictures of Unigard Park covered in fog yesterday, and I walked past it this afternoon on my way to Crossroads to buy a HP all-in-one device (printer, scanner and copier) and a wireless router, among other things. The all-in-one is so that I don't go broke at Kinko's... The difference today was remarkable...









For dinner today, I decided to try something different, instead of eating out or making do with bread and butter. I cooked.

Yes.

For real.

Here's the evidence in case you don't believe me!







I bought 2 boneless chicken breasts, a red and green bell pepper, some corn oil and a 10oz bottle of soy sauce, as well as some other items, from the somewhat nearby Uwajimaya in Bellevue for only $16. That certainly beats the prices at QFC for the same items, and it's much nearer. :P

Since I only cooked one of the chicken pieces and used some of the peppers, I can still cook something for myself tomorrow. Maybe it'll be the same dish, maybe not. But at least I can save money this way and eat somewhat healthily. ^^;;

There was also a pamphlet for their "Year of the Boar" sale, including a recipe for lemon chicken. I might try that out sometime. :P

Uh right. I still see bread and butter there. :P

Hmm, how long does it take to walk to the Asian supermarket?

[nyankoframe.livejournal.com]

I should have added a "just" there. But whatever. :P

It took me about half an hour to walk there (and the same amount of time or a bit more to walk back), and about 45 minutes to decide what I wanted to buy. The actual cooking took about half an hour ^^;;

OMG! Auntie gotta tell you its so expensive there!

What's so expensive about it? I haven't started with the real bibik stuff yet. :P

OMG YOU COOKED

*dials up Reuters*




...
I bet you did this especially to spite me and insist you CAN cook hardy har har.
I'd still be very apprehensive of trying it out, anyway :P

And your pictures are still made of fail and blurry >:0 Stop shaking your hands! That's a rather cozy sort of apartment...

[nyankoframe.livejournal.com]

It is, although it's not as big as ours. And the laundry cabinet (dryer, washing machine) is near the dining area ^^;;

I did it because I was hungry. I only posted the pictures so that you could see my cooking. :P

Nice apartment! And you can actually cook, huh? My sister can't cook for the life of her. She can't even bake. *still remembers the worst pound cake she has ever tasted in her entirely life, so foul she had to spit the piece on the trash can* Hubby can cook too. Well, at least he can stir fry meat and veggies. LOL

Thank you! I'll be sad to move out of this apartment around the end of March...

I can cook, but not too well. :P
