Well the post title says it all, doesn’t it? The letter of the day was “e” and so I chose to hack up an eggplant. I was trying to make fries, but they came out a bit on the mushy side, so I feel like a phony passing them off as such. Frites they were not. All I did was chop up the eggplant into matchstick shapes (aka “fries”). Then I did a little shake ‘n bake with Lawry’s seasoning. I believe this photo accurately sums up my ghetto fabulous method. Then I lined them… Read more >

These past few days have been a bit busy for me…among other things, I’ve been prepping for my follow-up job interview (which is tomorrow – eek!). Coffee for four. All for me 🙂 I have been cooking, too, but as you can see, blogging has taken the back burner. Also, I’ve been having a string of bottomless pit days. I’m sure you’re familiar. You know the days when you’re stomach just won’t quit. Which is all well and good, except that it leaves me with 482 photos to post. Ugh. I may as well dive… Read more >

As I previously mentioned, my aunt and cousins came to see our new apartment and take us to lunch last week. We went to a local cafe called Huckleberry, which is one of the best places to eat see and be seen in all of Santa Monica. As tasty as my lunch was, I could hardly focus on the food because my cousin’s adorable son, Finn, had my undivided attention. He’s so dang cute! I know you all agree because last time he was on the blog he got more comments than the food! But… Read more >

Mon ami, c’est Ratatouille! Pixar had it right: “Why do they call it that? If you’re gonna name a food, you should give it a name that sounds delicious. Ratatouille doesn’t sound delicious. It sounds like "rat" and "patootie." Rat-patootie, which does not sound delicious.” But trust me, it is très délicieux. Tomatoes, onions, zucchini, bell peppers, and eggplant…all oiled up and ready for the grill. Isn’t it amazing that salt and extra virgin olive oil can work such magic on the barbecue? All together now… Magnifique. To accompany the ratatouille, we threw together… Read more >

Now that I’m back in L’town (my affectionate name for the town I grew up in), it’s wedding task-a-mania up in hurrr. You’d think I’d be sleeping in (given my job-less state), but you’d be wrong. My sinuses have been crazy pissed at me with all the location changes (NYC, LA, Mexico, Newport Beach, San Clemente, and now the Bay Area). As a result I’ve been waking up with the sun thanks to an intense throbbing pressure in my head. Lovely. I’ve been buddy-buddy with Sudafed as of late. Anyways, since I’m not quite back… Read more >
