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 [...]

A Super Biased Post by a Brainwashed West Coast Apple-Lover

November 27, 2011 eating out

Just a couple weeks ago, I was a proud and obsessed owner of an iPhone 4G. I even wrote a post dedicating my love to it. Now I’m a disgruntled owner of a “gently used” Droid Incredible that I bought via Craiglist, from a person who upgraded into an iPhone. In other words, I downgraded [...]

Korean Egg Toast

September 29, 2011 My story

I think it was because I read too many British books, but I loved sandwiches as a child. Freaking loved them. Not just because they tasted good, but because they are…well, they’re sandwiches. They’re so…tea party British-like! I got mad when my mother refused to cut the dark crusts out into a perfect white triangular [...]

Thank you Sugar Daddy

July 12, 2011 blog meet-up

[Update: ARRGH!! I'm an IDIOT!!! I only just discovered what "sugar daddy" really meant...I always assumed it meant a rich daddy who pampers his daughter. I never bothered to look the definition up, and now I've unwittingly called Mimi a whore. Sorry, Mimi!! Thanks Carrie for pointing it out to me!]   I received the [...]
