Hi Folks!

The new Harry Potter book came out today. We went to the Farmer's Market at UCI this morning and happened to walk by a local bookstore... and they had 2 copies left.  At first we considered waiting and going to some big place like Barnes and Noble or Costco to pick up a discounted copy of the new book... but then we thought, "hey, we need to support these local places more!"  So we bought the book; paid $30 for it. Anyway, later on at the Target in the Spectrum, they had it on sale for $17. Still, I find consolation knowing that we supported a local bookstore!

The store owner gave me a few temporary Harry Potter tatoos. So I HAD to put it on:

Can't see it clearly? Here's a closeup:

So anyway, we walked to the Spectrum and spent a few hours there walking around, picking up some stuff.  Ying was embarassed! Hah! It didn't bother me. Why? Because I didn't have to look at myself anyway. ho ho ho!

When we got home I was hungry.  Armed with my new Harry Potter tatoo, I used a makeshift wand (chopstick) to cook some "lo po gau" ... hmm there's nothing to describe this in English. It's yummy; trust me!

Warming up....

The spell worked...

And while we were at the Farmer's Market, we got some roasted corn.  Ying was eating it and sitting in the car. She looked like a Taiwan gangster. So I took a picture:

Until next time, Potter fans...
