Awhile ago, we were in the city, specifically wandering around Japantown to use up a photography class I purchased for us on Groupon. Unfortunately the class was pretty useless to us but at least I got to spend time in Japantown, oogle at the gorgeous fish at the Amano store, and lastly, get an awesome […]

I finally got around to trying my hand at making caramels. I had some really nice heavy cream leftover from making a strawberry whipped cream for my trifle so I dug up a recipe I saved awhile ago. Whenever I hear the word trifle, I think about the meat and berry trifle that Rachel made […]

I’m semi-celebrating Lent with my friend which means sushi on Friday! We had lunch at Sushi Sam in San Mateo. It was pretty good but disconcerting to hear the chefs speaking Cantonese. So much for being a Japanese owned restaurant! I ordered a very un-Lent dish of Kurobuta Kakuni. Unfortunately I was too busy […]

I love going to Farmers Markets to see what the freshest stuff in season is. I feel so blessed to be living pretty close to some good markets. I like the one hosted in Mountain view cause of the variety of products. This past week, tulips were in season!
