 之后的一个周末，老爸说要吃法国大餐，我连哄带骗的把他和老妈领进了Applebees。老爸你不要怪我，当年我小的时候要吃满汉全席，你也是拿火锅馆子糊弄我的阿。。不过话说回来，Applebees原本还是我觉得美国平价餐馆里牛排做得最好吃的呢，我的26岁生日都是亲爱的hong,yuying和bin帮我在那里过的呢；只是不知道为什么，salinas的applebees似乎也降了一个档次:( 老爸我真的对不起你，女儿答应你一定好好赚钱将来请你吃真正的法国大餐:)

第二天我和已经磨和成功的GPS带着爸妈去了monterey的水族馆，很好的地方呢，有可爱的企鹅，美丽的水母；而且外面就是海洋，值得一去。

爸妈是去年11/25下午一点的飞机到三藩，接到他们之后，我就靠着新买的GPS带他们开去三藩的鲤鱼门吃早茶。真的是无知者无畏，这是我第一次开车去三藩，那里的山路相信看过sex and city的人都记得，里面有一集karrie去三藩签书，几个女人租了一辆破车根本爬不上那个坡，samantha忍无可忍摔门下车。还好我的corolla比那辆破车强了一点点，但是当时只有半年正式驾龄的我和刚刚买的GPS完全处于鸡同鸭讲的状态，在经过无数次“leagal u-turn”之后终于到达了传说中的鲤鱼门；又经过长达一个半小时的等待，我们赶在早茶结束前完成了午饭和晚饭。

这次旅途最大的收获就是爸妈学会了"u-turn"，以后每次出门，只要他们听到GPS嚷嚷着歌词他们就知道我迷路了；另一个收获就是很长时间老爸不提去三藩的事情，而且很久之后我和老妈去三藩都是坐的Caltrain...

btw:鲤鱼门门口遇到的热心王先生，我知道鲤鱼门真的很难等，我也相信你推荐的另外一家餐馆很好，可是。当时的我。。实在不想在三藩开车了。。。

今天是老妈走了之后第一个自己留守空房的周六，真是难熬啊。。前几个礼拜都是开上去赖在同学的家里不肯走，单身的jessie（顺便祝你爸妈签证顺利哦pretty），老公不在身边的nana，老公在身边的sissi，都被我骚扰了一遍，这个礼拜实在是没有脸面上去了厚厚。。

哎，当初爸妈在这里的时候，耳朵每天都要自动过滤他们一遍一遍的唠叨，“工作要用心啊”，“该找个男朋友了”，“去锻炼身体啦”。。现在一个人面对空空的两室两厅，真的是静的烦人，忽然开始后悔应该好好地听听他们说话。其实我知道爸妈在这里过的并不太开心，因为语言不通啊，又没有亲人朋友除了我之外。老爸根本不会遮掩，一个月之后就急急忙忙的回去了，还放话说下次再来除非我结婚生子。老妈一直默默的陪了我半年，其间我问她闷不闷，她说有你在怎么会闷。是啊我一直是妈妈心里的宝贝，只要我在她身边，她就很开心了。我不知道这究竟是怎样的一种爱，可是被这种爱宠坏的我总是很贪心的奢望我的爱人也能这样爱着我。幸或不幸，19岁的时候他似乎曾经这样爱过我，于是我以为找到了终身可以托付的人，于是我开始肆意的享用那份爱。然而毕竟只是“似乎”，我们的爱情像所有真实的虚拟的美丽的哀伤的校园故事一样在我离开校园的时候走到了尽头。天哪我又扯到哪里去了，没办法，人老了就会回忆从前。。Anyway, the point is, 母爱真的是世界上最伟大的爱！//老爸你不要吃醋哦，下一篇我会吹嘘父爱的啦，反正父亲节还有一个礼拜嘛 ;p

苋菜番茄汤：//成功，因为用了新煲的鸡汤:)

 

鲜香菇饭：//失败，因为用了上次鸡汤里的香菇和鸡丝:(

 

 

 

 

最近天气热得难受，什么都吃不下，从网上搜了两个菜谱，

 

健康有品位的寿司：http://blog.wenxuecity.com/blogview.php?date=200603&postID=6674

清脆爽口的腌黄瓜：http://news.xinhuanet.com/food/2005-08/02/content_3283686_5.htm

 

经过朋友的鉴定，偶的穷人版寿司（用鸡蛋饼代替蟹肉）基本成功，其实最喜欢的是鳗鱼寿司，可惜没有买到鳗鱼：（ 所用的基本材料在重庆店全部都可以买到：roasted seaweed, sushi vinegar, 竹帘；建议一定要放avocado，这个东东以前怎么做都不好吃，这次放在寿司里发现真是人间美味，而且据说对皮肤是灰常灰常的好噢~~~

 

腌黄瓜其实是做寿司的后续篇，因为剩了很多黄瓜。。不过看着图片上国内顶花带刺的小黄瓜，我很担心这边粗壮的老黄瓜能不能做出菜谱里的那个味道来，所以如果做失败了就只能怪黄瓜不够嫩了嘿嘿

Just read a friend's blog, he recommends some fantastic American songs, and suddenly, I realized that I couldn't sing any one of them although I definitely heard them and loved them. More suddenly, I found that after being here in US for 3 years, the American movies I watched, the American songs I listened, the American novels I read are even less than in China. Can't imagine how desperate I was to come here when I was back in China! Ye, that's classic me.. Always wanna get outta current life, yet totally have no idea of where to go...

 

Since I was very young, I've been trying to run away from my family. The first time I tried was when I was 4 years old, well, not really "running away", I stayed at my friend's home and didn't come home. That night, when my mom found me there, u can imagine, I got the biggest "beat" in my life! So, during the years in the elementary school and middle school, I've been a "good" girl who was always the teachers' "favorite" student, and of course, never left home without telling mom. I never enjoyed that life as a "good" student because the life I really wanted was the life those "bad" students had, skipping classes, playing around and dating, the life exactly my small aunt had, who's only one year older than me, we used to be the best friends since child and in the same class in middle school but completely seperated because the damn "good and bad"! But last summer when I went to see her, guess what? We both found that we are totally the same now! I guess that's how we grow up, no matter what we were as a child, we grow into similar adults somehow, someway.

 

//sigh, I'm running away from my topic again, now ya know, what is "classic me"? reading the words now, I'm really confused how I can write down such stupid things for such a wise topic.. anyway, I'll try to continue tomorrow, now show show my cool small aunt, the guy behind her was my big uncle, who used to be my "prince charming" 20 years ago...
