Our Married Life

I am proud to be a member of the Daring Baker’s Challenge. This is my first challenge, and needless to say I was quite intimidated. Julia Child’s french bread. I remember growing up watching her on the weekends and thinking how odd she was. I never really saw her as an icon for cooking shows, I suppose because I was young. But nowadays her and Jacques Pepin are the best of the best. I wish foodnetwork can have more genuine cooks on the show.  Anyway, here’s this month’s recipe.
I have to say that I didn’t do so well with this challenge. I mean seriously 8 hours of breadmaking?? On top of that, I think my yeast is old because it didn’t seem to rise properly. AND being the impatient person that I am, I undercooked it. I did after all [...]

This is cited from the Weekly Spark articles I get. Some of it is surprising, although I don’t know too much about fish. I always thought shellfish was bad, I guess Oysters are actually good for you, although I don’t even know if oysters are shell fish. I’m also surprised that Bluefin Tuna is bad for you. Anyway, we need to eat more fish in our house [...]

Brian and I usually celebrate by going to a movie, having a nice dinner and sometimes even exchanging gifts, only because there’s not too many times out of the year where you can celebrate yourself as a couple. Over the past 2-3 years though, we’ve taken it light. It’s nice not to have to stress out about it.

Last year, Brian came home and made dinner. This year we’re doing the same, although we’ll be cooking together. I splurged (got carried away) at Central Market. I have to admit that place is a rip off, but it’s hard to avoid at times. Anyway, so that’s our plans for vday. Too bad our fireplace doesn’t work, otherwise, we can enjoy a good movie in front of the fireplace.

Speaking of which, I think we’ll wait until the summer to get it fixed. It may be cheaper then.

Anyway, I’m a little over halfway done with re-reading my PMP Textbox. I got some other study materials from Amazon which I’ll conquer this weekend. Only one month to go.

I’m also looking at the PM Certificate program at UTD. But I wonder if the certificate is redundant to the PMP Certification. I certainly wouldn’t mind taking the courses if it actually helps me do my job better. Although there is an interesting Business Intelligence Certificate course at SMU that also looks good. I did see some of my old professors teaching some of the classes within this program. Both programs are about 18 credit hours each, which essentially is an entire semester. However, with the UTD course, I think I can work up to getting a Masters.

I guess I should take things step at a time…

This is my first attempt at making gnocchi or vodka sauce. It’s actually my first time eating it. To my surprise it was quite good. I was afraid the gnocchi would be too heavy. I didn’t really find my recipe anywhere. I originally was planning on making a Rachel Ray Recipe of gnocchi with chicken meatball soup. But I didn’t have all the ingredients on hand. Plus I had leftover pasta sauce that I needed to use up. Brian actually liked the gnocchi, and the leftovers I had for lunch was still just as good, even better than last night. [...]

I totally can’t focus. I decided to schedule my PMP exam now that my application has passed the audit process. Now I’m in total freak out mode. I am having the worst test anxiety ever. It’s been 4 years since I’ve taken a real exam which is why I’m freaking out. UGH. Shame on me for putting it off. So it’ll be 3 whole months since my last class on test day. I hope my brain still remembers.

Anyway, the test is scheduled for March 11th at 8:00am.

I just recently launched a food blog called Delicious Accidents. We’ll work on the layout later, but hope you enjoy.

Pad Kee Mow (with chicken) - I prefer this dish over Pad Thai since the latter is too sweet I think. I also made this dish since it’s the only thing Brian would ever order at a Thai restaurant. I think he’s just sticking to what is safe.
Pad Kee Mow stands for drunken noodles and is a standard Thai Street dish.
This recipe makes a ton so we had plenty of leftovers. I also have to say that this is my own recipe adapted from my mom’s kitchen. Brian thought it was a bit bland, but I think it’s just right. If it’s too bland, just double the sauces. [...]
