It rained over night and was expected to rain throughout much of Thursday so we planned to visit the aquarium this day. Our morning routine was the same. I took a quickie run after nursing P, going up the steps towards Elizabeth Bay (that we went up the previous morning) and then back home. It was like doing the stairs in Santa Monica. Then I made the three of us food – eggs all around. P napped for his usual 2 hours while I journaled and once he woke up we figured out the… Read more >

I mentioned in this post that I went to Sasa for dinner with my family while home for the holidays. As you can see from the menu above (or clicking on the restaurant the link), their food concept is Asian Fusion with small plates to share. I love small plate menus because then you get to order a ton of things so you wind up sampling a lot. And trust me, this menu had plenty I was eyeing. In fact, the food was so freakin’ good, as a food blogger, I felt it wasn’t cool… Read more >

I’d had this particular dish on my mind for a… Read more >

1. What’s the breakfast I’ll never get sick of? Oatmeal. Because no two bowls are the same. Ever. I’m in a ’smores phase at the moment thanks to these home-made marshmallows. Some of my latest combos have included peanut butter, marshmallows, cinnamon, raisins, bananas, and carob chips. Many of my co-workers (among others) think oats are too “healthy” to be good and too boring to repeat. To me, that means they aren’t thinking outside the box. 2. Why is My Cousin Vinny so amazing? Grits Think about it. It’s a savory… Read more >
