Shrimp Risotto
2016.09.27. Tuesday
Tried making Risotto for the first time! Since I had bunch of frozen shrimp in the freezer, decided to make 'shrimp risotto'.
Ingredients: shrimp, chicken broth, white sine, garlic, onion, butter, watercress, lemon(for the juice), rice
 |
| simmering chicken broth+white wine. I think I evaporated it off too much this time. |
 |
| This generated some 'butter+shrimp+wine' liquid! I took off the tails/shell(?) of the shrimps afterward.. |
 |
| I had added some watercress at the end since I had some left at home, but I guess I could have cooked them less~they wilted too much..haha.. |
It takes a long time to cook(probably 20-30 min just for the rice?), so won't be a good option for a quick-meal. Also it is important not to do too high heat when cooking the rice since the broth would evaporate off before the rice is finished...

Max Brennar chocolate
2016.09.23. Friday
아침에 BJ가 불금 같이 놀자고 카톡이 왔다. 요새 실험실에 일이 너무 많아서 언제 퇴근할 수 있을지 걱정이 되었지만 콜!! 그리고 이번 주말은 토요일 대신에 금요일 밤에 놀기로 계획 :) (예상했던 대로 일요일엔 랩에 가서 일을 해야 해서 토요일에 대신 집안 일 좀 하고 정리하면서 쉬게..)
포터 스퀘어에서 저녁으로 타이 음식 먹고, 보스턴 가서 Apple가서 iPhone7 구경하고, Sephora 잠깐 구경하다가(갔는데 얼마 안되어서 벌써 문닫는다고 ㅠㅠ여긴 왜 이리 가게들이 일찍 닫는거야.....), 그담에 어디갈까 하다가 BJ가 Max Brennar을 모르길래 데리고 갔다~ ㅋㅋ
확실히 여름은 다 지나간듯... 꼭 겉옷이 필요한 날씨가 되었다. 이번 겨울에는 아마 alewife로 출퇴근 시작할텐데 날씨가 좀 mild했으면 좋겠다....

해물탕
2016.09.21. Wednesday
저번에 Hmart에서 해물탕 거리를 팔길래 반가운 마음에 사왔었다. 마침 집에 watercress도 있겠다 한번 끓여먹어보기로 함...
국물 맛은 꽤 괜찮았는데 몬가 많은 해물에서 난감한 맛이 나서 영 찝찝...ㅠㅠ.. 다른 것도 아니고 해산물이라 조심스러워진다... 힝..아쉽지만 해물탕은 그냥 한국에서 진짜 해물탕집에서 먹는게 낫겠다 ㅋㅋ 이건 재구매율 의사: 2%? ㅋㅋ

Defense dinner for YP
2016.09.17. Saturday
YP defended a few weeks ago! Really happy for him since he was a direct 후배 to me in Harvard CCB program. He is now working as a postdoc in a lab that is just starting; heard there are currently only 3 people working there! @_@ As I was crazy busy myself for the past few months working in a start-up, I can resonate how busy he must be now.. I just hope he doesn't get burned out from work..and I wish him good luck!!

Archery!
2016.09.17. Saturday
Went for the free archery class!
It was really exciting!
I would like to keep going, but not sure if it's worth it if I can only attend once a week.. Heard the coach usually comes on weekdays(or did they say Wednesdays?), but it would probably be hard to go back and forth to Harvard just for the class on weekdays after work... I guess I could still try to make it every Saturday morning though...
Should I go for it or not?
The archery itself was really fun, and I would like to see if I can improve by practicing... Well, let's think more this week and decide on Friday night :) By the way, I should also check if there's a shuttle I could take from Harvard to QRAC so that I don't have to uber/lyft either.

An evening with Champions 2016!
2016.09.10. Saturday
Went to 'An evening with Champions', now 6 years in a row :)
Had dinner at Alden & Harlow before the show, which might have not been a good choice since it left me really hungry even after sharing a dessert with my friend afterward.. :(

| Lamb breast...The sunflower bulb tasted weird..:( I can't believe they serve this as dinner portion!! Felt like I ate appetizer..-_- |
 |
| Ordered pistachio cake in a rush since I was still hungry after the meal... |
 |
| Love my friend's scarf! Autumn is coming! |
 |
| The scenery on the way to the stadium...So beautiful :) |
 |
| sitting on the first row, like I did for the past 4 years! |
Great show for such a cheap price!(only $10 for the ticket) Wonder if I would be able to watch it again next year, and if so who I would be going with. It was always with different people I watched this show with each year.
CFCL 5 year anniversary throw down!
2016.09.10. Saturday
I actually hesitated a little about joining this event since I just began crossfit only a few weeks ago. However it was a good experience and motivation. Although there were so many work-out that I've tried out for the first time today, hopefully one year from now I'll be more experienced and stronger :)

Renewing my passport!! :)
2016.09.07. Wednesday
Went to the consulate to renew my passport! So glad that it's really close now so for the price of paying for the home delivery, I decided to do 'pick-up' instead and paid for the expedited shipping from korea instead! :) Also saved money by using the passport photo machine inside the consulate haha

Sous Vide Duck Breast
2016.09.01. Thursday
Decided to try the frozen duck breast in the freezer! Of course I thawed it in the fridge in advance. It turned out better than I expected! :)
Ingredients: Duck breast, tomatoes, spinach, thyme, garlic
Use Instant pot warm function 40-50 minutes, then pan sear both sides. I guess I could make the skin even crispier next time :)
