Lemme backtrack a bit. Last year, I took my parents up to Seattle for a quick weekend getaway to visit my 87 year old grandaunt that’s like a surrogate grandmother to me. When we flew in, I did a quick Yelp search and found Maneki. Ohhhh Maneki. They only took reservations and turned us away […]

I’m taking a quick break from my Taiwan Trip recap since I have been a bad bad girl and haven’t uploaded pics from my big camera yet… And because Taiwan tired me out, so tired that I needed another vacation to recover from my vacation. 😀 Which leads to the Seattle Trip posts. Work was […]

Just cause I’ve been constantly thinking about the brown sugar meringue topping, I had to go and dig out the pictures of the […]

Sam and I celebrated our first monthaversary tonight. 1/11/11! Since I’ve been pretty domesticated the last few weeks, we went out to Sushi Tomi to feast at their sushi bar.

I heart Pixar. Of all of the movies they’ve made, my favorites are still Cars, Monsters Inc., and Wall-E. A few years ago for Christmas, Sam bought me two little Wall-E toys. It was also the same time I got my D300 and I had a lot of fun putting my Wall-E’s in funny poses. […]
