Still Celebrating Holidays

There is aways a reason to celebrate!
And for us, it's after Christmas, and before the New Year.
We love to get together, to cook, then, to wine and dine.
Cheers!

Beth's salad: spring mix with tomatoes, pine nuts and hearts of palm.

Lynne's very yummy Swiss chard tart.

Lynne's shrimp, chickpeas, and spinach, with ginger & cumin.

Christmas Shopping in Chicago

We stayed at Hyatt Regency Chicago again. Great location - just steps from Michigan Avenue, also has easy access to any transportation to get around Chicago. It's perfect for a shopping trip.

Holiday decoration along the Magnificent Mile

It was a pretty nice day to walk around - cold but not windy or freezing at all :)

We do love Chicago!

The boys' favorite spots - Apple Store and Niketown

Blue Man Group is fantastic! We had a great time.

Hope to see you again soon, Windy City!

Thai Princess

Located in Okemos, Thai Princess is a new eatery in Lansing area. The restaurant offers on their menu a wide variety of Thai dishes, in an elegant but cozy atmosphere and decor. I happened to eat there 3 times in one week, after they had been opened for almost a month. So far, I love everything I tried. Certain dishes even remind me of my mom's cooking, or my favorites in Thailand.

I am so happy to see more options for Thai food lovers to go enjoy great food and nice dining experience. Service was warm and friendly. Big portion of food, at a pretty reasonable price. Here's some of the dishes I had:

Of course, Pad Thai - I have to say it's very close to what you would get in Thailand, and delicious!

Papaya Salad - my favorite dish of all time. They do such a great job that I will probably order it every visit :)
