Bribing the Cop with Chocolate Mint Bread

February 1, 2011 Los Angeles

I recently got a chance to interview a police officer. This was part of a police beat assignment in my print reporting class. We had to find “news” relating to crime in Culver City, and turn in a 200-word article that includes quotes from three sources. By a stroke of luck, I somehow scored an [...]

It’s All Whipped Cream (Artisanal LA: Part II)

October 27, 2010 eating out

I used to want to be the best in everything. The most beautiful. The most intelligent. The most talented, whether it be hip-hop dancing, writing, drawing, swimming, singing, playing nintendo games, or—well, you get the idea. I just wanted to be the top. The crème la de crème. Obviously I’m not. I think I’m good [...]

The Lemon Tree Party

October 3, 2010 dinner event

You learn a lot when you’re hosting an event. It often seems like the guests get the better end of the bargain. All they need to do is show up looking presentable, sit, eat, possibly compliment the host, and then leave when the host start giving signals. Meanwhile, the host is spending an enormous amount [...]

Hello, Stranger

September 1, 2010 blog meet-up

I admire a lot of things about my blogger buddy-turned-schoolmate-turned-good friend Mimi. One of them is her ability to just casually chat up anyone she meets randomly, whether while studying in Starbucks, or lining up at the grocery store. And no matter who that stranger is, he or she responds warmly. Maybe it’s because Mimi [...]

Just Eat. Mostly With Eaters. Not Too Much Food Talk.

June 1, 2010 eating disorders

A fellow ED-Recoverer once asked me how I managed to get myself out of my eating disordered food rut. How did I manage to overcome my fear foods, and be able to socialize and eat out? How am I able to pick up bites of snacks in the streets, and not obsess over a “proper [...]
