Another Beach Day Weekend

New template, but the same contents, if you have been following this blog. I hope you like this new template.
Our weekend usually starts on Friday evening once I log-out the company's e-mail - it could be at 5 pm or 7 pm depending on the week. This week, it came a bit earlier and we cooked simple dinner - Thai flavored chicken by using the paste bought at a Thai grocery a while back. We stretched the sauce by using a lot of chicken and veggies but the sauce was really HOT, so we wondered what would have happened if we used suggested amount of meats/veggies to cook.
We decided to go to the beach on Saturday even though it was not super clear day when we left the house around 8 am. Stopped by at a Dunkin Doughnut for TWO doughnuts and a large coffee (our tradition). The beach was not as crowded as it was over the memorial weekend, so it was easy to find a great spot to lay down. Variable breeze and limited sunshine was warm enough but we might have needed a light blanket.
Our next destination this time was the Korean town in Flushing Queens, where we can have a great chicken and a Korean grocery to buy something for dinner. Sorry but no picture of the chicken - whole chicken with TWO types of sauces, their original (mild) and spicy kind. Their double fried chicken was very crispy without having that much coating and it was not a difficult task to eat a whole chicken by two people.
After finishing the grocery, including their best Kimchi at H-Mart, we found newly opened Korean (with French name) bakery. We did not need that much bread/sweets, but we ended up buying FIVE pieces including this sweet potato with raisin which became our Sunday breakfast, and some other interesting pastries - pumpkin and strawberry with some sort of cream.
Not fantastic weather for the beach but surely the trip to the Korean town made up for it.
