Poutine! Poutine! Poutine!



Poutine with Garlic Mussels


Poutine Christine


Filet Mignon Poutine with Mushrooms

Soleil (translates to sun), a French-Canadian restaurant in Westwood, did not disappoint at all. Their poutine was filling & delicious. Their pumpkin ravioli & creamy sauces were flavorful without knocking out your taste buds with a blast of cream & salt. On the weekends, they have bottomless mimosas for $15! Those French-Canadians really put the best twist on fries. I’m really glad Alex was game to come try this restaurant out with me when he came to visit me in Westwood!

I’ll add tons more updates after my Anatomy midterm on Monday. Eek…wish me luck!



Winter Break is here!



My cousins Tammy & Brianna at Angi & Bobby’s wedding reception

After one sleep deprived week devoted to finals, I’ve finally gotten around to posting pictures of Angi & Bobby’s wedding reception along with pictures from Thanksgiving. One album is password protected with my mother’s Vietnamese name being the password.

In addition, I’ve posted up a new recipe for my Arugula Shrimp Salad. More recipes to come, hopefully!

This past summer, I made it a personal goal to finish 5 books, which I did. However I finished 3–A Clockwork Orange, Intern, & Witches of East End–of the original 5 I planned on reading. The 2 others were Who Ordered This Truckload of Dung? by Ajahn Brahm & Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) by Mindy Kaling. This winter break, I plan on finishing 3 books:

  • Genie by Russ Rymer
  • The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
  • The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin

The last book is the longest, boasting 452 pages, so we’ll see if I can actually do this.
