Whole Foods

Ash and I love the beautiful displays they have a whole foods.  I was able to snap a few pictures before someone told me it was not allowed.  I don’t know what the art form of food photography is but I am calling myself a Foodographer.  🙂

Dim Sum @ Hong Kong Harbor

So I have become more and more obsessed with taking pictures of food.  Today Ash and I went to Hong Kong Harbor in Atlanta for Sunday Dim Sum.  The dim sum was actually pretty bad so we wouldn’t recommend going there but the pictures came out great!

Our Blog is One Year Old

Today marks the official one year mark of this blog. If you look at the very first entry, it was started on November 25th with the “Hello World” post. I am so glad I started this as it’s really becoming a hobby. So, for the one-year mark, I have decided to change the banner from the “sunflower in the sky” to a new banner which represents the city which our family lives in, Atlanta! I took this picture of the Midtown skyline during a stroll in Piedmont Park.

This was our original banner with the sunflower.

Web Cam Fun with the Pengs

It’s been over two years Ashley and I moved out of Boston.  I still remember the morning that Ashley and I left in July of 2005.  We had a great breakfast at my parent’s house and then set out on the long drive to California.  Since then, I’ve seen my parents only a handful of times in person and have been keeping in touch with them mostly on Web Cam.  Here’s a screenshot of them on the web cam with me today.

Our Thanksgiving Feast

Ashley and I celebrated our first Thanksgiving here in Atlanta with a feast my mom would be proud of. The spread was a 19 lb turkey with Mrs. Peng’s classic stuffing and gravy, onion and garlic mashed potatoes, green beans, candied yams, biscuits, corn and a dessert of apple and strawberry rhubarb pie.

We invited a few of Ashley’s master’s program classmates over, Marienella, Abby and Abhi. We had a great time and everyone enjoyed the food. Here’s some pictures of our feast.
