Birthday dinner for my dad

(without my dad!)

Yesterday I ventured into Starbucks for the first time as I had a gift card. They had some interesting treats there- but very expensive!

Today I was waiting to cross a road heading north. There was a car at the intersection heading south. The car was not signalling so I assumed it was heading south. The light changed and I started to cross. The car did not start moving, then all of a sudden sped right toward me! I guess the lady was not paying attention to either the light or the pedestrians! I dodged her and she smiled and waved at me. It was a company car (it had a logo on the side) but it was too close to me to be able to read!

Work was long, there is still so much to do before classes start.

Made Herb garlic steak to celebrate my dad's birthday (though he was not here to enjoy it!)

 Roasted potatoes in oven

 roasted steak and green beans and tomatoes in oven (I took the steak out before the picture was taken!- by accident- meant to take the picture first)

 The basil pesto was supposed to go on top of the potatoes but I was worried that I wouldn't like it, but I loved it- was very good.
