Farewell Party

3 of my best friends gave me a farewell party at one of their house. They prepared many kinds foods and sweets. We drank wine. I really impressed their kindness and was so happy. I have stayed in Albany Almost 3 years and will leave on August 2. Off course, I missed Japan. But I love Albany and my friends in Albany. I will miss all of them.

T.G.I. Friday's (American food)

When one of the lab member's birthday is coming, we have a lunch at outside, such as T.G.I. Friday's (http://www.fridays.com/home/welcome.aspx), Panera(http://www.panerabread.com/) or ICHIBAN(http://www.ichibanalbany.com/). Today we had a lunch at T.G.I.Friday's. The foods of this restaurant is cheap and big volume, and most of students are satisfied with these foods. I ate "half sandwich and soup combination" today. The volume is half but it was enough for me

BBQ Party

Today I had a BBQ party at my adviser's house. This party was for 2 undergraduates students and me. 2 undergraduates students graduate in last May and I will finish my course this summer. It was a potluck party and I enjoyed eating so much!! Drinking beers, eating delicious food and chatting with my lab mates, it was really nice and made me so happy.

Potato croquette

Today I will have a potluck party in my adviser's house. Our lab members will join this party. It is difficult for me to decide which food I will bring every time because some one cannot eat beef, some one can only chicken and vegetables, some one cannot spicy food and seafood. Finally, I made potato croquette think morning. I mixed potato with onion and bacon. Then, I covered with crumb and fried. They look delicious ???

Apple cider doughnuts

Suddenly, I really wanted to eat "Apple cider doughnuts", then I went to "Indian Ladder farm(http://www.indianladderfarms.com/cgi-bin/ilf.cgi)" and bought them. Their doughnuts were so soft and simple tastes. I tried them several times but I cannot get tired of them. So, I can not stop eating...

Free Pastry Day

Today is "Free Pastry Day(http://www.starbucks.com/retail/print_free_pastry.html)" at the Starbucks. Enter the Starbucks before 10:30am and buy something to drink, then you can get any pastry you want!! Off course, I went there on the way to my lab and got the "raspberry muffin"!
