Hy-Vee Fuel Saver is misleading

This program makes people to believe they saved lots of money.
However, it is not true.
Hyvee tends to apply this discount for selected items which are more expensive than other stores.
For example, 2 lb of Creamette pasta was sold for $2 while $1.39 at Country Market.
2 cents per gallon discount would not save money for those who purchased 10 gallons of gas.
Despite of food freshness, I disagree their marketing strategy.

Asian Buffet

This restaurant was remodeled last month and renamed to Hibachi Grill Buffet.
We saw positive reviews on the website and had lunch there today.
Although it added hibachi grill, food quality was slightly improved.
We may still go to Galesburg for better Chinese meals.
I would rate this restaurant C+.

2.7 miles (4.3 km), 30 minutes

This is a distance and time I usually spend on the treadmill.
It is important for me not to rest for the period.
If I feel better, I would increase speed up to 6.5 to 7.0 mph (10.5 to 11.3km/h) in the end.

Recovered from jet lag

We had a wonderful trip to Japan and recovered from jet lag.
Sola was able to celebrate his 2nd birthday in the resort hotel by the ocean.
Abby and I enjoyed more sightseeings around Tokyo this time.
Even though Sola slept only couple hours, we liked the direct flight from Chicago to Tokyo by ANA.

American Chinese cuisine

Wikipedia says the following dishes are NOT traditional Chiense cuisine.

• Almond chicken
• General Tso's chicken
• Sesame chicken
• Chinese chicken salad
• Chop suey
• Crab rangoon
• Fortune cookie
• Royal beef
• Pepper steak
• Mongolian beef
• Fried wontons

It also states that a difference is that American Chinese food typically treats vegetables as a side dish or garnish, while traditional cuisines of China emphasize vegetables.

Master Buffet

On the way back from the wedding, we stopped by the restaurant in Peru.
Andy and I have been there couple years ago.
It is called Master Buffet, and we enjoyed Chinese dishes and Sushi.
I would rate B+ :)

Eric's Wedding

We attended Eric's wedding on August 31.
A wedding ceremony was held at the church in Mendota, and approximately 300 people joined a reception at Grizzly Jack's Resort in Utica.
Congratulations, Eric and Cassy!
