Somebody stole my nuts

January 16, 2012 eating out

I had a flip-flopsy day today. In the morning, I sent off my friend Joanna (who slept over) in a good mood. I met my other friend Jordan in a good mood. I spent the whole day laughing and joking and feeling awesome and loving to all peoples. Since we had the day off for [...]

Downtown in the New Orleans

January 11, 2012 eating out

There are several things that pop into my mind when I read the words “New Orleans.” Mardi Gras beads I wore for my eighth grade dance. My family’s trip to The Grove this summer, where I had an amazing cornbread at The Gumbo Pot. The whimsical tunes on Disney’s Princess and the Frog. Anne Rice’s [...]

They say “Don’t go east of 110 in Los Angeles.”

December 9, 2011 eating out

There’s a semi-serious joke in Los Angeles: “Don’t go east of 110 Freeway.” When I took my brother and friends up Mt. Hollywood and we stood by the cliff gazing down into the vast landscape of Los Angeles, I pointed out the different areas to them easily. See those skyscrapers over there? That’s downtown. See [...]

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 [...]

Eating In: Soup, Pasta, and a Movie Marathon

December 4, 2011 product review

I’m in the middle of finals right now so I’m in a current of muted panic and stress. Lots to do, lots to do, lots to do! But I managed to finish a research paper early today so I’m feeling pretty benevolent to myself right now. Which is why I’m allowing myself the pleasure of [...]
