Beautiful Sunset

Caught this on the way home on Brand Blvd. Loved the palm lined street -- creates a nice effect against sunset in the background.

Did a quick grocery shopping at Vallarta -- loved this place, fresh fruits and vegetables are so cheap! Got about a pound of carrots, 2 garlics, 6 brown onions, 1/2 lbs of green beans, 4 big tomatoes and a bunch of cilantro (for my jalapenos bread). Total came up to less than $7!! Can't beat the price that's for sure.

For dinner, I made spinach and shrimp stir fry with garlic and sambal olek sauce, it came out so good, I ate half of what I've cooked. I managed to save the other half for lunch tomorrow. I ended up having spinach teeth *bleah*

And lastly, my long awaited bake -- jalapenos bread. I've informed everyone at work that I will be bringing this bread for breakfast tomorrow. Oh, the white bread that I brought to work this morning along with a container of 'I can't believe it's not butter' spread, was gone before lunch time. I was stoked. Hopefully, this jalapenos bread will receive the same kind of treatment. I've tasted it, the texture is not as soft as white, because I've used one cup of wheat in lieu of regular flour even the recipe called for all white. It also called for corn meal, which sticks to my teeth everytime I take a bite. Other ingredients besides cilantro and jalapenos are corn. And here's the end result after more than 3 hours in the machine. Smells wonderful and has a hint of spicyness to it. I'll be bringing some provolone cheese to enjoy the bread with!
