Winter break in NJ/NY

Let's see, winter break in a nutshell: sleeping in most mornings, getting my fill of snow and snow-shoveling (more like pushing), semi-creative gift-wrapping, visiting family, various cooking/baking experiments, and watching lots of movies =P The last pastime included quite an eclectic selection - I saw Monsters, Inc. (absolutely adorable), Real Genius (filled with Caltech nerd jokes), Into the Woods (starring Bernadette Peters), Red Cliff (both parts = epic), and Star Trek (the newest one). Anyway, a selection of photos from my time back in the USA:

My house's front yard --> winter wonderland =D

Rockefeller Center Christmas tree

Other massive decorations in NYC

A Spanish fish stew with potatoes, tomatoes, onions, and other yummy stuff...the recipe called for tuna, but we used mahi-mahi instead, which worked out pretty well

Benji with baby brother Oscar, the newest addition to the Yin-Ooi family =)

One more night in NJ, then tomorrow I'll be on the plane to Taipei!
