My almost favorite restaurant in Los Angeles

February 2, 2012 blog meet-up

When I tell people I have a food blog, the subsequent question is always: So what is your favorite restaurant in Los Angeles? Well, that is just not a fair question. I don’t think I have ever answered the question directly before, because there are just so many factors to weigh in deciding the “best” [...]

You’ll find me in the kitchen at parties

September 5, 2011 My story

Do you like parties? I’m not talking about the kind of parties where you slip on a little black dress for nightclubs, take shots off a girl’s belly and swing under a disco ball (do those things still exist?).  I’m talking about big, celebratory events like birthday parties, graduation parties, baby showers, bridal showers, etc. [...]

A camping trip with rice-cookers and no s’mores

August 11, 2011 My story

How To Paint Bread Orange

February 25, 2011 My story

Some of you might recall that I’m a fine arts minor. Yeah, I also said I’m an East Asian Language & Cultures (EALC) minor on my last post, but I’m double-minoring in fine arts too (i.e., I have no life). Anyway. I’m taking a second-level drawing class right now, and we’re focusing on the human [...]

The Jacks N Joe in Life

February 8, 2011 eating out

As a reporter, I have interviewed many “big” people out there. I’ve sat next to a Supreme Court justice (and his big bad bodyguard). I’ve shaken the hands of all the major characters of Greek. I’ve hugged a rising hip-hop rapper. I’ve been invited to the Police Chief’s Trojan-decorated office, got admonished by a city [...]

Traditional Values

December 27, 2010 My story

(Edited to add: I posted a note of apology regarding some things I said in this post that may have offended people) Some people get pretty surprised when they find out I have old-fashioned values. But then, at the same time, there are people who get surprised by the things I’m willing to try, so [...]
