And it's one of the traditional british recipe!

I like Hummus with various vegetable sticks. And a bit of sprinkle of parsley or cilantro, cayenne, paprika, pine nuts and olives.
And Tahini (sesame paste) is really good for you.
You can add meyer lemon, minced rosemary, etc.
Wallpaper iPhone App for London Design Festival / Tom Dixon Shop at Portbello Dock
I was interested in Tom Dixon's collaboration with Lacoste a few years ago.
But now I prefer cheaper and durable outdoor-brand clothes with no frill, haha.
I think being practical and reasonable is the coolest design.
Paying the premium to be cool is a bit childish. It depends, though.

Open House London
I'm not sure, but maybe this year, Gherkin, Lloyds TSB building, etc. had been withdrawn unfortunately.
I actually missed Trellick Tower this year! Shoot!

London Night Hike
Oh, I missed it!
I should have paid a bit more attention and time for the ad in the tube station or Timeout website.

Chicago / Indiana
Today, I had a One to One training session with the trainer who is from Indiana / Mexico City in the U.S.
The following is what I found interesting.
*In Indiana, they have really cold weather because of Lake Michigan. It snows almost 6 months.
*Chicago is the third most populous city in the U.S. But around Chicago, it's all corn field or something.
*In Mexico City, there are still a lot of Cowboys with Cowboy Hat. Wow.
It's almost like we still had Samurai in Japan.
(Of course we don't.)

Toptable / Vouchercloud on iPhone
'Special Offers nearby' feature is so handy!
But actually, A staff at Apple Store recommended Vouchercloud.
It's not only for the restaurants, but also for anything else.
It's probably better.

Sweet potato salad
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RglE5OECDJo
From the video podcast 'Minimalist' by NY Times.
I like black bean and sweet potato, so this recipe is so convenient for me.
And so healthy and actually filling.
Black bean gives you good protein.
