Catalina Island

We went on a trip this weekend to Catalina. 1 hour by boat ride from Los Angeles.

On the Catalina Express boat.

Let's just say that because of the storms this week. The waves were huge and the boat was rocking. 30% of the boat was vomiting.

Fast forward to the island.

Poor girl. All alone while her husband scurries for an ATM.

The 2nd best part of the trip was the golf cart tour of the island.

The sad picture I wanted to take.

The nicer version.

I didn't know Catherine had her own hotel already.

And the best part of the trip.

Instead of taking that horrible boat ride back to LA. We took a helicopter. 15 minutes. Our first time each to ride in one. And I think I'm addicted.

Because we took the helicopter back and not the boat. Our car was on the other side of the Long Beach bay. 

This is Sunny's attempt to get back to our car.

Hitch-hiker.

B-Day Fun

Touch my birthday cake and you'll find yourself in a knife fight.

After Saturday, a day in which I was the only white guy in a class of 50 Koreans. A class that Sunny didn't tell me was taught in the Korean language. I guess the fact that I couldn't understand the teacher excuses me from learning anything scary about childbirth.

We went out on Sunday night for my B-day dinner.

Went to a sushi place in Marina Del Rey with these gangsters.

Sushi mania

Sunny brought her A-Game for baking. She took the role of making the German Chocolate Cake that I require every February 13th.

Thursday Night Dinner Club

The blogging must continue. If I stop I may never start again. We went to a Korean fusion type restaurant tonight. It was okay. Nothing really worth blogging about though. We are trying to start some kind of Great Gatesby like social club with our friends Mike and Johnna.

Food in bowls!!!!

Piggy.

I received these two cards which I would like draw attention to.

2 birthday cards received this week.

Why do both of these cards ask a question dealing with explaining and describing me? It seems like some kind of horrible rhetorical question is begging to be answered. I know that the inside of the cards answer the questions posed politely, but what other answers are the askers really wanting to hear. Suspicious.

Purple Mashed Potatoes

I'm addicted to the show "Chopped." So I'll share a very simple but cool looking recipe.

Mashed Purple Sweet Potatoes

You'll need:
2 or more purple sweet potatoes
About 1/3 cup milk, or more to taste
About 1/3 cup sour cream, or more to taste
About 2 tblsp butter, or more to taste

Set a pot of water to boil.

Peel the sweet potatoes.

Add the sweet potatoes to the pot and boil until tender. This took about 20 minutes for me, but times may vary for you. The water  turns black

Mash.

Added about 2 tblsp butter, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/2 cup sour cream. Adjust to taste.

Looks awesome!!!!!!!!!!

I will try my best to keep this blog updated with updated information and witty banter. Unfortunately, many of you already have top notch blogs which I am unwillingly to compete with.

Be nice and welcome us to the Blogger world.
