Best food I ate: I walked to J’s BBQ to eat their spicy bbq chicken.  It was good but it’s getting a bit pricey.  $8 for two chicken thighs.  How will we feed our son when he gets older.  He and his pals will have to spend $15 for a plate lunch and we will lament when it was about $5.  

Best thing I listened to this week: I found DJ Krafty Kuts on soundcloud.  Take a listen … http://soundcloud.com/kraftykuts

Best app I played with: WELDER.  I’m still trying to finish this darn game.

Best thing I watched: I watched Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol.  That was pretty good.  I went to the theater for that movie too.  :)  I watched Margin call, The Hangover II, and Beautiful Boy.  That’s the order in which I enjoyed them.  Margin Call was by far the best movie.  

Best thing I cooked:  Fried poke.  We had a lot of leftover poke.  I ate it on rice and in wraps with various veggies like kim chee cucumbers.

Best app I played with: Polychord.  Making little ditties using this app.  I hope I can make a song one day.  :)

Best app I played with: I’m looking at reviews on Apps to see what we should buy from the AppStore.  

Best food I ate: Sunflower Cafe’s beef and bittermelon black bean chow fun.  I think the serving could have fed four people but I ate the whole thing.

Best thing I listened to this week: Soma.FM has some of the best versions of Christmas music.  A must for the holidays.

Best thing I watched: We did finish Season 3 of The Clone Wars.  You can sense that the episodes are getting darker.  It’s the best Star Wars video product yet!  I watched The Devil’s Double.  Dominic Cooper is awesome as Uday Saddam Hussein.  It’s hard to watch some of the things that go on in that movie but it does give some insight to what it was like to live in Iraq in the late 80s.

Best thing I read: No progress in reading.  

Best app I played with: Starting to play WELDER again.  I took a temporary break.

Best thing I listened to this week:  I like the Christmas mixes at Soma.FM.

Best thing I watched: Kung Fu Panda 2 was good as was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.  I can already see there will be a Kung Fu Panda 3 which would be welcomed if written the way the first two were.  Harry Potter was a great end to the series.  

Best thing I cooked:  We had a lot of easy to cook food this week.  I basically cooked some string beans with spicy sausage.  That turned out good.

Best thing I read: No progress in reading.  Akira wrote a nice piece called “Puffy Clouds.”

Best food I ate:  I ate lunch at my sister’s on Sunday.  There was a variety of food but pancit bihon and crispy pork with tomatoes and onions was the best.

Best thing I listened to this week:  Erasure live.  It doesn’t sound as good as they sounded in person.  But it is nice to have a copy of the set they played when we saw them in October.  

Best thing I watched: Pirates 4 was better than I thought.  Bellflower, what the heck was that.  Akira enjoyed Alvin and the Chipmunks 2.  

Best thing I cooked:  I made a soup out of left over Costco chicken.  I added a round onion, ginger, garlic, a Hawaiian chili pepper, bamboo shoots, mushrooms and some patis.  It tasted good.  I hope I can make it again.

Best thing I read: About 20 more pages read in Game of Thrones book 3.  At this rate I’ll be done in April.

Best app I played with: Angry Birds Seasons.

Best food I ate:  We tried Bruno’s Forno which was alright.  It’s different.  I tried laksa a Singaporean noodle dish.  It was okay also.  I would try the laksa again from some place else though.

Best thing I listened to this week:  Christmas music.  Soma.FM’s Christmas Chill station.  Great stuff!

Best thing I watched: We watched Crazy, Stupid, Love, Friends with Benefits, Attack the Block, and Super 8.  All were pretty good movies.  I think I liked Super 8 the best.  Attack the Block was pretty good for an indy looking movie.  The two romantic comedies were better than I thought they would be.

Best app I played with: iKaossilator! I can create beats.  They upgraded the app to v 2.0.

Best thing I listened to this week:  I have been trying to film Akira “singing” the Angry Birds Theme song.

Best thing I watched: Batman Year One was pretty good.

Best thing I cooked:  Chili spaghetti.  It was leftover week so I cooked once.  Oh yeah Thanksgiving was in the middle.  The turkey came out pretty good. :)

Best thing I read: I read a couple more chapters.  :(

Best food I ate: I enjoyed the Hawaiian Plate from Ruger Market Hawaiian Food.  I saved the kalua pig to make kalua pig and cabbage.  The plate was just under $10 too.
