I like taking pictures of food I cook/eat. I sometimes draw, paint and craft things for people I love. I live with a man who just so happens to be the love of my life, so it's pretty convenient.
My current priorities are to be healthy, save money for a bigger home and get back to creating things.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

Woke up, let Bronson out to do business, fed Bronson, walked to the store to buy milk, attempted to befriend & feed a random dog walking around on my street that was a possible stray but also had a collar on, rejected by random dog, made whole wheat French toast, made hash, then posted a photo of my food on Instagram, and now Tumblr.
My boyfriend made dinner for us tonight while I was putting the pieces of my current project together. (Trophy for my friends’ 5th Annual Natty Classic Beer Pong Tournament.) I’ve been making these since 2010, and I think I’ve definitely peaked in terms of “where I can take it.” To be fair, though, my friends always tell me 1 month before the tournament that I’ll be making it so it doesn’t really give me that much time! Funny thing is that for the second year in a row, I didn’t know I was again in charge of the trophy-making until I read the Facebook invite for the event. I think my friends just think that I’m someone with enough self-confidence to assume that she’ll always be chosen for special tasks. Silly boys!
I’ve also just finished designing the invitation for my sister’s upcoming bridal shower, so that’s something I can check off the list. It’s simple, but she seems to really like it so yay.
Now I just have 999,999 things left to do…
Marinated salmon w/ spinach and mushrooms
Meal from days ago. But still post-worthy, I believe.
Filet Mignon Salad
(Sorry, Catholic loves!)
Been super stressed out again over finances and side projects. Until I can pull something off, all I can do is stress out over it. Blah.
Lobster Hash
Bottega Louie, Los Angeles
My pre-macarons entree from our 2-year anniversary brunch yesterday. As always, runny yolk ♥
Fried Brown Rice Tofu Pockets
Brown rice, pork loins (cubed & marinated w/ minced garlic + low-sodium soy sauce), mushrooms, corn, carrots, green beans, peas, eggs, aburaage (bean curd pockets), S&P, sriracha
Ever since I saw a different version of this “dish” a few days ago on a blog, I’d been craving it. So today, I stopped by the Chinese market to pick up some Korean bean curd pockets, which were unfortunately smaller than I had wanted (but was all they had.) Nevertheless, these came out DELICIOUS and I think they’d make great healthy appetizers for parties as well!
Healthy Breakfast Taco
Corn tortilla, 2 eggs, avocado, diced onion, cilantro, leftover salsa
Feeling fine :)
