菠蘿一家大細來了上水家訪，Otis&Serena 異口同聲地說要吃牛排，剛好冰箱還有幾塊牛扒，只是最小的一塊也有三吋厚。牛排先慢煮 5 小時（54 度），再用煎 pan 無面煎兩分鐘。

I held a birthday party at a chinese restaurant in Brooklyn, NY on May 2000. We had a private room for dinner and Karaoke. We were all having fun and the party last to 3am …

因為 DD 團購不勝負荷，已經有一段時間沒組團了，但最近傳出風聲牛排團又吹雞，趕快把冰箱最後兩塊消化掉。剛好酒櫃還有一支小號西班牙酒，份量正好適合我和 Joan 飲用。

是次旅行比較即興，原因是 Joan 公司農曆年放長假，為免浪費了假期，便計劃到日本旅行。我對京都有一份情意結，原因是眾多日本都巿之中，唯獨京都的古蹟保存得比較完整。

因公務到了薄扶林一趟，順道一嚐中廚午餐。

Macau is also part of my Hong Kong Trip on January 2001. I went to macau to meet Emily. She had a car to bring me around.  

天氣轉涼，又去谷埔食野同買蜜糖。
