Oct 5, 2024 – These are the days of… – the heart as it is

These are the days of…

… attending a pop-up Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) event in San Francisco ! They paired TCM-inspired cocktails with small Taiwanese/Chinese snacks that tasted very nostalgic:

… and then afterward stopping by a Korean food shop to try to eat off the alcohol:

… listening to a new album released by Disney ! It includes some classic Disney songs but covered by more pop-punk sounding bands, make the overall album sound 2000’s-y:

… taking JJ on his first bike party ride ! I originally was going to try to secure his black duffel bag onto the back of my bike, but it wasn’t secure enough. My friends eventually helped secure a milk crate to the back of my bike, and I used a bunch of blankets from my car to make it comfy for JJ. Although it was fun having him there and I think he enjoyed it as well, he added quite a lot of weight to my lightweight bike, so I do not think I will be bringing him again:

… finally trying out a local Taiwanese milk tea shop and being so pleasantly surprised at how good it tastes ! You can really taste the well-steeped tea even with the cream. This is probably my favorite milk tea shop currently:

… ordering horchata during National Horchata day from another milk tea shop I haven’t gone to in a while:

… meal-prepping some Greek-cuisine inspired foods for work, primarily Mediterranean rice and Mediterranean flavored chicken :

… attending a gala-like event with my current church and some revolutionary speakers:

… taking more pretty photos of things in our table and editing them with some awesome new Lightroom presets I downloaded:

… making homemade spaghetti sauce with 8 cocktail tomatoes I forgot to bake earlier in the week, and also including home-grown basil with our spaghetti:
