Adventures at the Asian Market

One interesting thing about where we live is that there are a lot of Asian markets. We have one just down the street from us, but I had never been before today. What piqued my interest was its reputation for inexpensive, high-quality produce. I was not disappointed!

 Cal and I bought 2 shells of strawberries, oranges, fuji apples, asparagus, broccoli, sugar snap peas, bananas, bell peppers, cilantro, kiwis, kale, and spinach for $17!  Just look at all this healthy spread:

I'm excited to try adding a little kale to our green smoothies. Hopefully it turns me into a superhuman.

Oh, and one other fun thing about the Market: the tanks of live sea creatures! Cal was mesmerized!

I'm glad I took the time to check the place out -- we'll definitely be frequenting the produce section.

Cupertino Residents

Well, we are officially California residents. (Except for Reed's car...curse the DMV).

I am LOVING our new place. Yes, it was initially a shock moving to a smaller apartment and paying twice the rent, but I'm over it. Our place isn't too small for entertaining, which is usually the make-or-breaker for me. We've had several couples over, not to mention the missionaries (who are always in awe over a well-cooked meal), and everything has been great.

I'm making a huge effort to be social, and for once, the effort has been paying off: I feel like I have several friends in this new ward, and one very good friend in particular--Lora. She reminds me of Rachel, in that she knows how to do everything (can we say go-to girl?). It's been nice to have someone so capable and fun to hang out with.

Cal and I have been to a handful of farmers markets, and he LOVES to eat the sample pieces of fruit that the stands put out. He and I have been having a lot of fun.

More updates to come. I'm wanting to get back into blogging. I like it!
