Laguna and Jazz night....

Ok....back to the photos I have left from the summer....I think I have about two more sets of photos left or something....anyway...here it is....

One of the weekends while Clement was still with us we decided to go to Laguna beach....but then we went to Rowland Heights to have lunch since we haven't had those nice chicken wings from Furaibo for a long time....I got the wings, Clement got the sings and thigh, and Billy got the steak....:)


We went to Laguna beach after lunch and the weather wasn't all that good....here are the photos...


Two cool flower photos I got....

Sea shells and the rocks....I think the best part of Laguna beach was the rocky beach....and the seagulls were all pretty busy walking around and all....

We walked all the way to where the big rock was to watch some stuff in the small rocks. The water almost got us after 10 min :)

Saw a lot of sea creatures live at the beach just when the tide was about to raise again....They look like flowers :)

Took some photos with the rocks at the beach....


Two cool photos I took before we left the beach....

Took a photo with the weird statue before we left :)

We went to Steamers for dinner. I guess I did bring the boys here before years ago. Both of them remember this place I guess :)


Food we got. I don't think Clement took a photo of Billy's food....or it turned out ugly I didn't include it....again....can't remember much from that long ago...lol....oh and the wine was from the next table....hahahaha


The musicians....It was one loud band and the band leader was from Cuba. Apparnetly the musicians didn't pay much attention to the leader and he was pissed most of the time....lol..oh and the trumpet, sax players were nuts....orz....


One day Jack bought a lot of seafood for dinner...and we all ate too much....Billy is the happy representative here.....I have no idea why the photo is left in this batch...but anyway....not related to our Laguna trip at all....lol....

A lot of eating for the past weekend....

Billy all of a sudden wanted to make chicken noodle soup so we went shopping for all the ingredients after he checked out the steps on line. I have to say the whole process took too long for me, but he had the patience anyway. The 1st photo is what he used to create the soup base. There were several spices that I didn't even know the names....and he used real chicken instead of using the chicken broth cans....yeah...a lot of work....

This is how the soup turned out to be. It was quite sweet and tasty even without salt added. My opinion is the Billy soup was better than souplanation chicken noodle soup....

The big cook in the picture....and the steak with mushrooms....yeah that was supposed to go with the soup too....and dinner turned out to be too much for the two of us....:p

We went to Lobster festival after church on Sun. The entrance ticket per person was 7 dollars and each lobster is 17 dollars....much cheaper than prices from restaurants. The cool thing was that lobsters actually turned out to taste quite good. The bad thing was that there were too many people and we had to walk for a long way from where we parked...and the sun....ok...I am just lazy....Here are the photos...

The assembly line.....

Billy's TWO lobsters meal...

They had people who helped the buyers to crack and open the lobsters.....

My ONE lobster meal....

It was hard to find seats while the boys went to get drinks.....so many people....

Our 5 lobsters for 3 people....

Looking happy and getting ready to eat :)

My lobster raising her hand and saying hi before the hands get eaten.....

Calamari that Jack got....Very intereting thick cuts....

I was the lucky person who got a lobster filled with eggs....and it just looked like a huge shrimp if you just look at the body part....

They also sold those huge corns, but then we were too stuffed to get any anyway....

They actually had many little booths selling other things other than lobsters.....but except the food, nothing was really worth looking at...

Took a photo of the entrance After we went through the whole thing....:)

Whole bunch of people came in while we were leaving...I wonder how many lobsters we killed for the whole festival....

Saw this boy on the bus when we were heading back. I don't think he looked all that happy holding the fake lobster....lol....anyway....this concludes our weekend with too much food....orz...
