The other half of the avocado with seasoning salt. Split a giant Asian pear with coworkers. . Snack Beard Papa’s Cream Puff, courtesy of best boss/friend in the world. .

Breakfast Ritz crackers with cream cheese A mug of Ecchaenacea Defense tea with honey . Lunch A few bites of brown rice and garlic tofu with vegetables from Pick Up Stix before the fire alarm went off in the building. I came back and just ate the tofu about half an hour later. Mother fuckers on the 33rd floor really need to get fined for all their burnt popcorn, I swear to god. One of my home made dark chocolate covered–are you ready?–Not Quite Nigella’s recipe of salted maple honey bacon caramel. A failed experiment, the caramel did not set...

I’m one of those fortunate enough to have and hang out with diverse groups of friends, both in real life and out here in the blogosphere and twitterverse. All of them different shapes and sizes in colors of the rainbow with even larger variety of interests and points of view. All have great sense of humor and never take anything too seriously. But those we pull no punches on the most are Brandon’s circle of friends. The boys have known each other since high school and once we’re welcomed to the family, you’re also fair game for endless teasing and...

Breakfast & Through out the day Snacks Starbucks decaf soy caramel macchiatto. I ordered a tall but they gave me a grande. Starbucks chocolate croissant I never got to finish. We had birthday party today in the office so I was saving room for cake. . Lunch Brown jasmine rice with 2 sticks of barbecue “beef” skewers and 4 cherry tomatoes. The skewers look like poop, seriously like a log of poop. It did have very meaty texture, though, and less soy tasting. Unlike the marinaded “chicken” I had a while back. A mini red velvet cupcake…more like a shot...

I’m pretty sure every girl wants to be serenaded. I mean, tell me you haven’t had a little dream about that whole scene of opening up the window/balcony to find your boy downstairs, singing to you with or without a guitar, with a mariachi band, or holding up his boombox. I must say that this romantic fantasy all started for me because of Freddy of My Fair Lady. He was outside her house because “there’s nowhere else on earth that I would rather be”. I mean, seriously!  Would a boy REALLY think that of me Obviously, “On the street where...

Well crap. I’ve been so busy that this blog is slowly becoming all about my Meatless Tuesday. Sorry guys! Just to catch you up, last Wednesday was our 8th wedding anniversary. On our way to our tradition dinner at Benihana through the infamous SoCal rainstorm, we were rear-ended. As we crested over the 405 close to Fairview exit, we got out of the carpool lane to get to the 73. Suddenly in front of us, a black sedan was sideway on the #1 lane. Its visibly damaged trunk was partly in the carpool lane and the hood in #2 lane. ...
