Out of San Diego: Wine-Tasting at Temecula

February 27, 2012 eating out

When I told my advisor today that my social life is good, he gave me the knowing smile and nodded approvingly. “Your social life is good, huh?” Wink, wink. Shoot. Not what I meant. I’m still single, and happy to be. When the year 2012 rolled in, there was a period when I was wondering [...]

Weekend ED Series: I know what you ate last night

February 24, 2012 eating disorders

I know, I know, I said this was my last Weekend ED post, but as are many other forms of writing, my series is still incomplete. Here’s a post on something that I missed. I’ve been getting quite a few emails lately about an issue that I was surprised to discover is more prevalent among [...]

Next Day in San Diego: Torrey Pines and Little Italy Farmers Market

February 21, 2012 eating out

Warning: You are stepping into the territory of a overly excited wannabe photographer who was convinced she saw million-dollar shots every where she turned. So be ready for a flood of pictures. I used to want to live in New York City. After all, that’s apparently the “greatest city” in America, though many New Yorkers [...]

Why I just can’t quit blogging

February 15, 2012 Los Angeles

I’ve been debating quitting for months now. There are clear moments when the decision seems real and finalized: That’s it, I’m quitting right now, I tell myself with conviction. There are murky moments when I wonder if I should quit, and I weigh the pros and cons of blogging, mope a little bit, and tell [...]

A Culinary Gypsy Caravan at LudoBites 8.0

February 12, 2012 blog meet-up

Long-time readers will know that I eat pretty modestly. Most of the places I visit are low-key, hole-in-the-wall places. I love to “discover” a new cultural dish and as a full-time student, I don’t have the funds to visit a restaurant listed over two dollar signs on Yelp. I mean…well, what kind of eateries would [...]
