while the 'rents are gone...

i can:
- use the bathroom with the door open
- leave day old dishes in the sink
- eat other foods other than chinese everyday
- walk around the house in my underwear
- laugh as loud as i want
- sing as loud as i want

i'm a nerd... 8)


so i'm about half way through the "house to myself" situation. yayy even though the rest of my family is probably camping somewhere in the middle of idaho and montana, having a great view of the stars, eating smores and prancing on fields... i will generate my own forms of amusement. and if i may, i'd like to share them.

i was able to go to 2 summerlicious restaurants these past 2 weeks. first at a indian-italian fusion restaurant in yorkville called 5th element

it was pretty cool. i ordered some pomegranate, rose water mocktail (because their cocktails were $10 a glass and mocktails were a little half the price :p) and it was really yummy. for the actual meal i picked shrimp skewers as an appetizer, salmon for main and some cheese cake for dessert.




all so very yummy! :)

on my 2nd outing. i tried some french cuisine at MIDI bistro. it was like the total opposite of the first place, small but cozy feeling yay.


sadly i can't find any pictures of the foods online but it was delicious anyway (well maybe except the cod, that was a little bland lol. i had sweet potato soup as appetizer, cod with some mediterranean sauce and for dessert choux pastry with vanilla filling and chocolate sauce (as i learned, its just a fancy word for cream puffs hahaa) soo anyways i would like to thank my parents for subsidizing my meals while they are gone and my good friend timmy for company. :)


*i should probably give credit to those photos i stole (i hope they don't mind). from first to last
