Invitation to The Secret Fork

December 21, 2011 blog meet-up

I must have done something right, because I got invited to a secret event downtown last Saturday. Actually, okay, I didn’t do anything. My friend Marilyn, who works for LA Canvas, got the invitation and I tagged along as her plus-one. But no matter—it was a semi-private market situated at an undisclosed area very, very [...]

Wine & The City, Part II

October 25, 2011 eating out

Whenever I think of a wine tasting lounge, I envision a small, solemn group of tall, thin individuals dressed in black. They sit in a row at a long, skinny table with a few bottles of wine in front of them. They very gravely pour a few droplets of wine into their crystal-clear glass. They [...]

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. [...]

Foodbuzz Festival 2010: It Is Done

November 11, 2010 blog meet-up

Fun, jazz, whoopee! Not. To be honest, I hated every minute of it. Well, except for one part: the part when I wrote [...]

Foodbuzz Festival 2011: A Night of Ohmigods

November 7, 2010 dinner event

You know those bloggers you’ve been stalking for months, maybe years? Those bloggers to whom you tweet the most random information like “I just saw a squirrel on crack.” Some of them, you know so well through constant gchats and e-mails that you immediately talk about the latest thing you discussed, like, several hours ago.

You Woo Me

November 5, 2010 God

I’ll tell you a secret: I hate flowers. And it’s not because I’m bitter that no guy have ever bought me flowers, I swear. But flowers. They’re just so…annoyingly…bright and pretty. They bloom vibrant colors right in your face, screeching, “Cheer up! Cheer up! Cheer up! Be Happy! Be Happy!” Sometimes, when I see a [...]
