May 22: Pizza di Roma


New York Style Pizza: big, floppy, cheap, and delicious.

Wonderful lunch with family.

May 21: Bubbles!


Green tea smoothie with tapioca pearls - lovely!

I became infatuated with tea and tapioca pearls, a.k.a. "bubble tea", in China. But only in Chicago have I found bubble smoothies!

May 20: Starved Rock


Starved Rock State Park

May 19: Shedd Aquarium


Abe and his mother in the aquarium.

I don't know about his mom, but Abe's surely developing an appetite for sushi.

(You want culture shock? Go to an aquarium with two Asians - it's like walking through an exhibit of their daily grocery list!)

May 18: Korean Barbecue


My boyfriend's mother preparing the barbecue at a great little restaurant in Chicago.

May 17: My First Paella


Tonight was my first attempt at the traditional Spanish-rice dish paella. My version was a delicious, but a touch too salty, Sage Lemon & Shrimp paella.

Not as good as what I had in Madrid, but i'll get there.

May 16: Gerbera Daisy


I forgot to take a picture today, so here's one that I took at my niece's high school graduation - May 16, 2009.

Close enough, right?
