Rehearsal recap

If you’re sick of all the wedding posts, you may as well skip this one too.  Ok just kidding.  I promise there are no photos of me in a white dress, but I do feel obligated to do a post featuring the delicious cuisine from our rehearsal dinner.  This is a food blog after all. Faz is a gem of a restaurant.  It’s located in Danville – on the cutest street – and showcases classic Mediterranean food.  As if I’d have a rehearsal dinner that didn’t feature hummus!?!  Puh-leez.  So after practicing this… …we all… Read more >

Garden Therapy

Moving back to CA, one of the things I was most looking forward to was having a balcony.  A balcony allows me to have two very important things: 1) a BBQ 2) a garden Ok, it’s not quite a garden, yet.  But it’s getting there… As an early birthday present from my in-laws, I got organic rosemary, basil, and thyme to give my green thumb a jump start.  Since it was raining the other day, I was in a zen kind of mood.  I blasted classical music on the iHome and got to work repotting… Read more >

I know yesterday’s AM eats weren’t well documented at all, but I promise to make up for it with yesterday’s dinner. It’s restaurant week!! Three courses complete with wine pairings (included in the price no less) for $34.  You can’t turn that down. I was initially going with Ethel, my FPIC, but Kyle got out of school early and decided to join us.

Get over yourself

That’s what I had to say to myself yesterday.  Boy oh boy what a weird day.  As some of you know, I’ve been growing my hair out to donate.  It’s been hard these past few weeks because I’ve really wanted to cut it.  It’s gotten to be such a pain.  I mean just look at that mane.  It’s unruly and impossible and takes way too much time to manage.  But there is an 8 inch length requirement to donate.  That’s a lot of hair!  And while I do have a lot of hair (I mean… Read more >

Creamy cashew buttah

When I was a young thang growing up in CA I loved the rain.  In elementary school indoor recesses were a novelty.  In junior high and high school, the rain meant we had an excuse to get insanely muddy (yes, I was a bit of a tomboy).  Especially playing soccer in the rain…so fun!  Cut to my years on the East Coast… In NYC I hated the rain.  I’m not really sure what prompted this drastic change of heart, but I suspect it had to do with the fact that there was ALWAYS the chance… Read more >
