Cafe Madison


I went to have a lunch with my friend at "Cafe Madison(http://www.cafe-madison.com/)". I love this cafe because of its atmosphere and good foods. I ate Belgian waffle and my friend ate English muffins. Belgian waffle is butter taste and, whip cream and fruits were topped in it. They made me happy. On the English muffins, there were poached eggs with hollandaise sauce. It looked delicious,too. We satisfied these foods and had fill of happiness.

There was a Fall Gathering in my department. It was welcoming party for new graduate students. All graduate students, facilities and other staffs, also their friends and family were invited to this party.

Dinner @ Sushi-Tei


We had a plan to have eat dinner with JLCC(http://www.freewebs.com/jlccsuny/) members but only a few members can join the dinner, so the dinner was canceled.
However, I went to have a dinner with my 2 Japanese friends at "Sushi-Tei(http://www.sushiteialbany.com/)". In my opinion, as for the Sushi, "Yoshi-sushi" at Latham is the best in Albany, but As for the other Japanese food, I like to go "Sushi-Tei". Today, I ate "Oroshi-Katsu(Fried pork with grated Japanese radish)". It is really Japanese style to eat pork. Fried pork is oily but I did not feel oily because of grated Japanese radish. This combination is very good. My friends ate "Chicken Teriyaki" and "Unaju(Bowl of rice topped with boiled eel)". Both of them look delicious. We are satisfied this dinner!!

I got them


I payed my tuition with credit card, so I got Amazon.com(http://www.amazon.com/) gift card ($75) from the credit card company. Immediately, I looked for some goods and I bought them. Here are goods I bought; "CROCS(http://www.crocs.com/) Sandal", "Le Creuset(http://www.lecreuset.com/)Whisk" and "Cookie Press". I wanted the CROCS's sandal but I could not find my size (5 or 5 1/2), so I got it and am very happy!! I am interested in Cookie Press. It looks convenient and I will try this week-end.
