Miramar Air Show in San Diego

Last Friday, Bryan and I went to San Diego for Miramar Air Show. This is the largest military air show and it was hosted in the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. A few years ago, when we were in Boston Logan Airport waiting for our plane, we saw Blue Angels arriving. Even since then, I am always curious about Blue Angels and hope to see them in action one day.

In early 2013, Blue Angels demonstration was cancelled for the rest of the year. It was such a disappointment. When we heard that they are coming back this year, we knew we have to check them out. We have planned for this trip for a few months. When the condo’s mess keep rolling bigger and bigger, we really thought about canceling the trip. But we ended up going after all. That was the best decision ever! It was a nice getaway!

The show was spectacular! Even though I know nothing about military planes, I really enjoyed the show. Just being able to be walk around a US marine base is awesome enough. Seeing giant military planes flying over our heads feels very unreal. They were fast, large, loud, and intimidating! It is nothing like watching videos or looking at pictures. My favorite has to be Blue Angels. The pilots flew so close together and kept a perfect distance in between while demonstrating different kind of maneuvers. Getting a glimpse of what our troops are doing everyday, I have a lot of respects for them.

Other than the shows, there were also many military planes on display. Many had their doors open and allowed people to get on and walk around. We were able to walk around a few carriers, like Super Hercules. The newest fighter aircraft, Lightning performed and were on display too.

If you get a chance, you got to check out the show. Admission is free and parking is free! Bring sunglasses, hats, sunscreen and many bottles of water, you will be all set.

    Wow! What an experience must have been! I am so glad you left behind all your condo’s problems and decided to go in the end. It surely looked like it worth it. I love the Blue Angels photo. Such a great capture!

      It was! It was nothing like seeing the jets on TV. A truly amazing experience! If you kids love planes, they will love the show! And it is free admission.

Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s mango p Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s mango pudding every summer. That creamy & soft pudding is loaded w/ tons of fresh mangoes. My version is pretty much the same, but I switch out the mango-flavored gelatin mix for fresh mangoes. It tastes incredible & brings me back to my childhood right away! It was the perfect dessert when I was a kid, and it’s still the most satisfying dessert today! 🥭

Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to is a cheeseburger w/ extra toasted bun & onion. Bryan likes his double-double w/ onion. The fries were perfectly crispy, and I like to dip them in the spread sauce. Please order me 2 fries next time!😂 How do you like your In-N-Out?
Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice Cream is creamy, little vanilla-y w/ bits of blueberries & a hint of thyme. That vibrant blueberry swirls also makes the prettiest purple color too! I made this ice cream using my blueberry thyme jam, so it’s very easy.🫐🍨

Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Thyme Jam! Sweet, lemony & earthy. A nice surprising combo, but both blueberry & thyme compliment each other really well. I once served this once w/ a slice of Basque cheesecake, & it was fantastic! The jam is good on all sort of things, like yogurt and charcuterie board. 🫐

When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cell When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cellophane Noodles in Clay Pot (沙嗲牛肉粉絲煲) definitely is up there on the top. One of my favorites to order in Hong Kong! It’s hearty & rich. That tender beef & noodles are coated w/ a savory & slightly sweet satay sauce. Little kick from the chili & the earthiness from the mushroom. Bold flavors! Please just give me a bowl of rice already! Btw, this takes only 30 mins to put together, which makes a great weeknight dish.

Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re ba Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re back! It closed down during the pandemic & eventually was selling sweet & savory pies for a while. Once we heard Maude was about to reopen, we made reservation. It’s a 9-course tasting menu w/ the focus on California cuisine this time. Everything was incredible. We chose to sit on the chef’s table & watched them plating & cooking. Precision & speed w/ lots of components. We had our many firsts, like cactus, caviar, & black truffle. Our favorites of the night were caviar w/ peas, abalone & bread w/ aged butter. We really love this place & look forward to going back soon!

❣️Always a multi-course tasting menu & changes often.
Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hai Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hail & rain probably lasted for a good 30-minute. I was very excited at first, then it got crazy. Hail was collecting everything & my patio started to flood. I took out a broom & removed some of the hail. That worked, the water started to move & subside eventually. So glad my apartment wasn’t flooded. Whew! I have seen hailing, but this is another level. The ground was covered in hail. Really incredible!
