Night sky at Cap Rock, Joshua Tree (photo taken by @gonbry). This was my first time stargazing. Sky was clear w/ no moon & it also happened to be the peak of the Taurid meteor shower. It was full of stars w/ amazing foregrounds of Joshua trees & rock formations. We were lucky to see a few shooting stars too! Truly magical! Milky Way next time! And definitely bringing some chairs.

Sunset with Joshua Tree. When we travel, we rarely get a chance to take sunset photos. Most of the time, we are occupied with restaurant reservations. If you know me, you know food is always my priority.😆 But this time, we took our time & enjoyed the sunset.

Up in Ryan Mountain.⛰ Bryan & I don’t hike often. When we do, it’s usually an easy trail. This one is considered difficult in National Park Service website, but most hikers think it’s moderate to challenging. We decided to give it a try & planned to back down if we needed to. Many stops & water breaks later, we made it to the top! It’s probably fairly easy for many people, but it’s a big step for us. That mountain view was rewarding & spectacular!

Working on a recipe w/ tapioca pearls. They’re like mini boba, but usually in Asian desserts. They’re original white in color, but turn transparent after cooking. They don’t have much flavors. It’s all about the texture, little chewy & bouncy. Recipe is coming next week!

Vitasoy drinks are what I grew up with. It wasn’t an everyday treat, more like an occasional thing. Every little sip in this little paper box was gold to me, & it still is. I have to make sure I get every last drop every time. I remember asking mom for some coins after bike rides. I headed straight to the only 4 vending machines in the housing complex. Staring at all the incredible options, I always went w/ the melon flavored soy milk. Cold, sweet & creamy! Most satisfying on a hot day! Nowadays, my go-to is chrysanthemum tea. Floral, sweet & refreshing. Bryan has tried a few over the years, and his favorite is chocolate flavored soy milk.

Btw, you can find them in Chinese grocery stores (sometimes in Vietnamese & Korean supermarkets too). They always come in a pack of 6.
