Somewhat Healthy Sunday Dinner

Posted on June 11, 2013 by Ching under Food and Drink, Health.

This was our dinner on Sunday night. I decided to put avocados in mine because I bought a ton of avocados from Sam’s Club to use for the guacamole that I’m making for Faith’s food day at work on Friday.

My salad was super delicious. I thought it was even better than the best salad we’d ever made. Makes me want to eat more salad.

Brian said that the only thing that could have made it better is if we ate our dinner outside like we did the last time. We love dining al fresco.

Ziggy’s Pizza

Posted on June 9, 2013 by Ching under Food and Drink, Toys.

Jay and Becca fed us Ziggy’s yesterday for helping Jay bring his new toy home. I was there for moral support mostly. That, and I wanted to play with the puppies. And, I didn’t want to drive myself around. And, I ran out of Labor Run flyers already between leaving some at the Scooter’s in Andover, Pink Boa, Evergreen Recreation Center, and Sports Clips. And, I was already too late for the Zumba party downtown.

Anyway, here are some pictures of the delicious food.

Classic Ziggy

Meat Me at Ziggy’s

Check out Jay’s new toy. It’ll be perfect for scooting to and from their office.

Friday Errands then Dinner at Sake

Posted on June 9, 2013 by Ching under Food and Drink, Health, Shopping.

Brian and I had to return my folding bistro table to JC Penney on Friday after work. I thought it would be perfect for the Bradley Fair jazz concerts, but it was just so poorly constructed that we didn’t even want to risk it. The package arrived on Thursday and we took it back to the store the very next day. This is what I get for impulse shopping online in the middle of the night. LOL.

For now we shall stick with our table in a bag, which actually worked great the other day. It’s just the right height for our backpack chairs.

Since we were already out and about, Brian and I decided to have dinner at Sake. The picture above is of my hibachi shrimp. That’s what I normally get whenever I go to these types of restaurants. Brian usually gets the chicken, which is what he had this time.

We lucked out and got Silo for our chef. We first met him when he worked at Sumo back when the restaurant was located on North Rock Road, in front of Northrock Lanes. That was like fifteen years ago. We don’t see him much anymore as we rarely go to hibachi restaurants these days. I just happened to have a Groupon this time around and we were already out so we went. I’m back to what I weighed when we first joined Genesis a couple of years ago so it’s time to buckle down again. No more eating out for a while. We’ll try not to anyway, except on special occasions.

Pictures From Our Final Leadership Elite Class

Posted on June 8, 2013 by Ching under Leadership.

I completed Leadership Elite through the Center for Management Development at Wichita State University last month. I wish I would have known that we were going to be photographed on our last day. I would have fixed my hair and worn make up. LOL.

This is a photo of me with Bridget, Reed, and Dr. Graham.

This is our team photo. My teammates are (from left) David, Kerry, and Josh. I’m not sure how the teams were assigned, but I ended up on the tall team. LOL.

We all got desk clocks because our team did the best in the quizzes. Although, blue team (Reed’s team) gave us a run for it toward the end. We took off to an early lead, but we were running about even there are the end. They didn’t have Kerry on their team, though. She (and Adrian from the blue team) got 100% on the quizzes. She didn’t miss any of the questions at all. I joked that she Kerried our team and thus we came out on top. I’m corny and I love puns. Sue me.

Dr. Graham was one of my favorite professors in grad school so I was really grateful for the opportunity to take another one of his classes. Leadership Elite is a fantastic program and I highly recommend it. The fancy plaque is nice too.

Time to Stock Up

Posted on June 8, 2013 by Ching under Food and Drink, Things to Do.

We picked up several bottles of wine from Grove’s the other day. Hopefully Brian will be in a sharing mood this weekend.

We drank one of them at the outdoor jazz concert the other night. This was our first bottle of Apothic Rose. We decided to give it a try because Brian loves Apothic Red. I actually think he likes it more than House Wine.

Anyway, we found Apothic White at my coworker’s liquor store in Derby a couple of months ago and liked it so when we saw this limited release Apothic Rose at Grove’s the other day, we naturally had to try it.
