This Easter weekend brought out friends old and new. Saturday I spent the morning with my hubby cruising down to San Pedro for a feast that is breakfast at Gaffey Street Diner. The rest of the day I spent baking, mostly. That night, the hubby set me loose to party with my Twitter crew. We threw an early birthday party for @always_blond at @fstop23’s place. The ever gracious host didn’t call off the party when he heard that his daughter-in-law had gone into labor earlier in the day. However, we had contingency plan as to where the key is and...

Guys, at this rate, going meatless is becoming a normal part of my routine. Very comfortable with it now. Then again, it’s easy to do when you have a restaurant downstairs selling awesome vegetarian/vegan sandwiches at lunch time. 🙂 Breakfast: The usual coffee treat from Starbucks Fage yogurt with peach puree. Yum!! . Lunch: Half of the French Onion Soup Melt sandwich from Mendocino Farms. Grilled onion on melty aged gruyere on pretzel roll. Organic tropical iced tea A nice dose of sunshine Afternoon snack: crackers and a big spoonful of whipped cream cheese. . Dinner: Trader Joe’s frozen entree...

I went to my college friend’s wedding yesterday. I knew she is religious and as I received the invitation, I found out that he is too. It’s a match made by God, essentially. I have been to many weddings: a full mass in beautiful cathedral and Christian-light ceremony which I really don’t mind. I’ve been to the we-made-our-own-tradition, and this-ain’t-about-God/gods ones, and those are usually quite fun. But this one totally takes the Holy Roller cake. It’s a little bit frightening when every sentence of the introduction of the ceremony had either God or Jesus Christ in it. And then...

Today, the Universe decided that it hates people in my life. 1. Brandon tore his calf muscle As he changed the oil on his car on Friday, Brandon discovered some coolant leakage. Upon further inspection by the auto shop, there are more than just that. We think the Anniversary accident knocked things loose. So, this morning, instead of waking up to drive me to my stop, the Mister decided to sleep in a little. I left my car 5 blocks down at my bus stop. As he was walking over to the car, Brandon stepped off the curb and, according...

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...
