I made salami, bacon and spinach hash this morning.

It’s raining outside and we have nothing better to do today then start packing. 😛

Our friends have been asking whether we started packing yet and I’m beginning to feel like we should. (Even though we’re not moving until the end of July.) So we packed four boxes today and oh boy, I’m exhausted already!

Tuna pasta with capers and olives

Vietamese shrimp and glass noodle salad

We went to Williamsburg to check out the open air food market, Smorgasburg but unfortunately it started raining when we got there. So we went to Mole for some delicious Mexican instead.

And we ordered a LOT of tacos.

The best baja fish taco in my opinion.

I made berry strata for breakfast this morning. This is a great tasty, hearty, fruity breakfast that we all enjoy very much.

After brunch we went to NJ botanical garden in Ringwood.

And had my favorite spicy cold buckwheat noodles for dinner. So good….

I’m super excited about this year’s mother’s day because my Mom is here! She hasn’t been around this time of the year for a long time. So today, I’m making brunch for her and my mother-in-law this morning.

Happy mother’s day!

Our family was invited to a lovely dinner at our church friend’s house (who are also our family dentists). The food was delicious and the conversations were great.

Oh the food… the black cod dish was better than what fancy restaurants served. Not to mention the filet mignon, seared salmon, seaweed & cucumber salad, and green salad dressing were also excellent.

Wow, thank you so much Chan family for the a m a z i n g  meal you prepared for us!

We drove nearly two hours to CT just so we can try this clam place.

We had a lovely dinner right here in Teaneck. This great little hidden gem is one of my mom’s favorite restaurant. It has the cozy feel of a little Italian cafe and the Linguine Alla Vongole is our favorite by far.

Afterwards, we went to a movie theatre and watched “The Big Wedding”. I think it was our first time ever going to a movie together in the States.
