Boston 2019 - Part 4 Boston Public Library

The bright sun was harsh for the eyes but we donned our shades and continued walking. Our destination was the iconic Boston Public Library located right next to Copley Square. 








Copley Square
The library building wasn't difficult to find. The old building has a newer building built and attached to it. The massive library takes up a whole block between Boylston and Blagden Street, and Exeter and Dartmouth Street. We entered from the door closest to Copley Square and made our way around the library... There were so many things to see within the library itself, even when you don't plan to read a book. Just be sure not to disturb other visitors who were actually there to read.

Gas lights (not sure if they are still gas powered)

And here is the most instagrammed part of the library...

The children's library and teen's library were located in the newer building, and they were very nicely decorated and organised.







When we finished self-touring the library, we found ourselves starving. We made our way to Luke's Lobster just around the corner. On the way there we spotted this cute mural and stopped for a few seconds for pictures.





And we finally arrived at Luke's Lobster! I ordered the Luke's Trio with side soup and drink to try all three types of seafood rolls they had to offer. They were all good but I liked the crab roll best. A few days later we found a lobster roll we liked better but more on that later...

After lunch we went to the Apple Store to get my iPhone fixed and hung out in the area while waiting for it...



From there we went back to our hotel and moved to another place I booked for our trip in the Seaport area near the convention centre. Please stay tuned for the next post!

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Where To Eat in Medan, North Sumatra

  If you talk to anyone about Medan, the number one thing that comes up is definitely the food. The distinguished Chinese-Medanese cuisine is known to Indonesians as exceptionally delicious. Just as famous is the Batak cuisine with its pork dishes and others. Now that we've been to Medan, these are our recommendations! Macehat Coffee Macehat is famous for their Avocado Coffee drink, but they also offer snacks and coffee beans. I've heard so many rave reviews for this coffee shop, but my final verdict is: it's ok, just so so.

Nasi Tumpeng - Yellow Rice Mountain Recipe

Last week, one of my friends posted a picture from her daughter's birthday with a "Nasi Tumpeng" in it. Traditionally, in Java and some other places in Indonesia, this mountain-shaped rice dish is served for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations. Below are some pictures of full blown Nasi Tumpeng platters. From satelitnews.co From bundatwinskitchen.files.wordpress.com From indochili.com Impressed yet? Well, the fore-mentioned friend offered me to come over to her place and learn how to make it so of course I gladly went! I am well aware of my cooking capability (and patience) so we made a much simpler (and smaller) version of it.  For the rice you need: 2 cups uncooked rice 1 cup coconut milk (you can put more or less depending on your preference) 1 stem lemongrass 2 bay leaves (dried or fresh) 2 lime leaves (dried or fresh) some turmeric (powder or fresh) water Here's the how to: ...
