Billy and his prime rib steak....

Well....little uncle is now back to TW again, but he came back in March and Billy wanted to treat him dinner so he can be a judge of Billy's cooking....So here is what Billy cooked....

We got that big chunk of meat from Pavilion....lucky it was on sale or else it would be expensive...Here is before and after....

Billy tried to imitate Lawry's salad....looks pretty decent but too bad we don't have the Lawry's dressing....

Cream corn....

Finally someone would be able to share the wine with me.....I like guests who drink....

Table all set up for the guests.....

That is the steak for the night....

Group picture after dinner :)

Akiang's BD 2011

Akiang had her BD before she left for TW. We took her to an Italian restaurant in Arcadia. The place is kinda interesting cuz each table has it's own light and they are all diff...

Food we got for the night....



Asked the waitress to take a photo for us....and she totally ignored Akiang....lol

Pics with Akiang....the BD girl :)

Desserts we got. I was pleasantly surprised by the looks and the taste....I guess after the entree I didn't expect too much :p

Cool lights I saw right before we headed out....I think the best part of this place is the lights and the dessert....will be a while before we come back again I think :p Well...Happy BD to Akiang for 2011 :)

Palm Springs, 3rd day

Ok.....about time to wrap up the Palm Springs trip. I guess I just got really lazy and totally forgot I didn't finish writing about it....Anyway....3rd day of the short trip was the last day. Checked out and said good bye to the hotel before we went to get breakfast....

This coffee place was supposedly popular at Palm Springs. Not too bad....and it was crowded...

Half of my sandwich and half of Billy's...

another weird desert plant...

After breakfast we went to take the world's largest revolving tram. It's kinda cool cuz you get to see the whole palm springs at your feet and the view of the 360 degree tram was also interesting...but too expensive I thought :p

There was a state park on the top of the mountain....

There was still a lot of snow in the park :)

Loved the huge dead trunks....


That's how old it was up on the mountain....very diff. from the city...

I guess it's hard to take a photo of the view plus people....we covered it all up....lol

View of Palm Springs from the top of the mountain :)

Took pics of the tram from the other side while we went down....steep ride....

So that is the old tram I guess.....and how the tram cables looked like with the view from highway...

Last photos of the windmills before we got home :)
