Birthday Party

Last Thursday was my Japanese friend birthday, so some of my friends came to my apartment and have a party today. I prepared some Japanese food and cake! We had lunch together. We had a good time to talk and eat. I was so satisfied today.

Apple Picking

Today, my husband and I went to "Indian ladder farm（http://www.indianladderfarms.com/cgi-bin/ilf.cgi）" for Apple picking. Last year, I went there with my classmates and enjoyed very much. We bought the bag($11 each) and started picked apples. There were three kinds of apples which we could pick today. "MacIntosh" is excellent for eating and sauce, "Cortland" is excellent for eating and pie and baking, and "Gala" is excellent for eating and salad. We can pick Japanese apples(Fuji and Mutsu) from end of October. We picked 71 apples in one bag! How will we eat such a lot of apples!!!

Somen noodle

One of my friends invited us to come to her house and we had a somen noodle party. There are over 30 guests in her house and we ate and drank backyard. Some guests took homemade cakes, cookies and beer. That beer was so delicious. I was really surprised it. Today was little rainy and cold. I think it was last party in this summer and we will have a fall season soon.

Indian Cuisine(Indian Restaurant)

My husband and I went to "Indian Cuisine(http://www.indiancuisinelatham.com/)" to eat lunch. I lunch time, we can eat Indian Buffet in this restaurant($7.95). Most other Indian buffet price is almost $6 but this restaurant meal are better than other Indian restaurant. There are salad, 6 kinds of Curry, dessert, rice, Tandoori Chicken and so on. Curry are so delicious. When I entered this restaurant and saw meals, I thought "there are not Naan here" and I depressed so much. But Naan and Poori were served just made to each customer! I was so impressed!! Of course, we can eat them as much as we eat.

Java Jazz Cafe & Bakery (Cafe)

My husband and I went to "Java Jazz Cafe & Bakery(http://javajazzcafe.net/javajazzcafe/)" to eat lunch. In this cafe, we can eat Wraps, Pita, Sub, Salads and so on. We ate Wraps($4～$6). Compared with other cafe, the quantity is little small but it good for me! I can eat all of it. The atmosphere of this cafe is better. If this cafe is near my apartment, I go there every day and stay for several hours!

Laber day weekend

My husband and I went to Farmers market in Troy(http://www.troymarket.org/). I really like this market. We bought Prams, Tomatoes, Apple juice and Bread. On the way to our apartment, we dropped in "Rensselaer Lake Pine Bush(http://www.albanypinebush.org/discovery_center/field_station_rensselaer_lake.htm)" and ate some of them. Today, the weather was so nice and we enjoyed eating bread and Prams on the bench in front of the lake.
