And that’s how we do Christmas

December 26, 2011 dinner event

I know that all of you who have celebrated Christmas and attended Christmas parties are still clutching your swinging food bellies, still groaning for the night (or day)’s festivity to subside from your system. So if it’s torture for you to view another “Look at my Christmas gluttony!!” post, this post is not for you. [...]

Christmas Cookie Exchange Party

December 23, 2011 dinner event

My friend Tracy’s parents were gone to Hawaii for a week, so she did the most appropriate thing for a girl left alone at a big house in the Hollywood hills: throw a party. But since we’re no longer in high school and fascinated by the idea of irresponsible drinking and sex, the party was [...]

Father and Son Yucatan Tamales

December 6, 2011 dinner event

Sometimes, I wonder what it would be like if my parents were chefs instead of missionaries. Not that I don’t like them being missionaries. As annoying as it sometimes can get to be a pastor’s kid, I’m proud to have parents who have dedicated their lives into mission works. But while meeting the young chef [...]

The Turkey Always Looks Juicier on the Other Side

November 25, 2011 dinner event

There was an episode on Nip/Tuck (yes I like that show, don’t judge) where a beautiful model struts into a plastic surgery center asking for plastic surgery. (Picture credit from Entertainment Wallpapers) She’s stunning. She’s tall and skinny with curves at the right places. Her hair is shiny and her teeth is brilliant-white. There’s nothing [...]

Road Rage-SLAP

November 9, 2011 dinner event

I am one of those Apple fans who is devoted to her iPhone. In fact, it’s the first thing I reach for when I wake up, and the last thing I’m touching before I fall asleep. How wonderful are iPhone apps? There’s literally an app for every need, entertainment and kinks. There’s an app called [...]
