For a long time now, I’ve been obsessed with German pretzels. I used to buy them at the Farmer’s Market in La Jolla, order them at the German restaurant in Point Loma, think about them… and think about eating them. I already require lifelong membership with Carboholics Anonymous and German Style Pretzels aren’t helping my […]

I have a bad craving for Shipley Do-Nuts… Unfortunately they’re nowhere to be found here in California. The craving’s almost bad enough for me to jump on a Virgin America plane and head off to Dallas so I could get a few donuts… And some good ol’ Texan BBQ. I blame my husband for converting […]

After a long break from cooking, I got bit by the bug again and I have a pork shoulder brining to roast into pulled pork, cajun inspired coleslaw soaking in the fridge and meyer lemon bars baking. I was good and took pics of the lemon bars so that recipe should be up soon. I […]

Sorry… that’s a pretty sickening sappy title of this post. And I guess as newlyweds I can semi sort of get a pass. Before I lose all of my readers (yes… all 3 of you!) I should quickly explain. When I’m too damn lazy to cook dinner, he generously offers to take me out to […]

My friend Charlyn introduced me to the Pioneer Woman blog. I clicked on the link at 10am. The first thing I saw was her recipe of the day… Steak au Poivre. Beautiful beautiful steak. I sat there and drooled… 2 hours before I could take my lunch. I didn’t think it was right for me […]

I guess I’ve been procrastinating long enough on my resolutions… 1) Travel more Hopefully we’ll accomplish this with talks about a trip back to Taiwan in the near future and once that is done, we can finally go on our honeymoon. Tahiti possibly? 😀 2) Cook more Strangely enough, I’ve taken more ownership of the […]

Just a quick shot I dug up in the archives of my computer. This was taken when I got broadsided by a nutty driver here in Palo Alto and she insisted on doing everything in cash under the table. I ended up with a hardtop Volvo convertible. Coincidentally Sam’s close friend Ink and Ang announced […]
