Tomorrow am having a few friends over for dinner, my friend Claudia moved from Los Alto to LA couple months ago and she’s my very 1st friend here in California ( my friend Yuka in S’pore introduced her to me before I move here).
Claudia is German and her husband Danny is Chinese, they had a son Collin who are same age as Angelina my daughter and such a small world, When we know them, Danny is still working for my husband previous company, so they have a lot to talk about when we have gathering.
So today I have to make something simple for myself. Yesterday I bought a pack of rice noodle and didn’t know what to make and when my stomach start calling I think im into something sweet, spicy and tangy only thing I didn’t have for this dish tonight is fried tofu, but everything else tasted the same.. Well I did 17.5km run this morning so I’m allowed to spoiled myself

Ok I’m going to get things ready for tomorrow, packed the extra Pad Thai for my good friends Anneli who took Billy with her and her 2 sons for tennis while I’m making the Pad Thai. I forgot to sprinkle some red chili flake but I think she doesn’t care cos her tolerant of spicyness is pretty low!
See you tomorrow!
