What have I been doing these past few weeks? Obsessively playing in a scavenger hunt organized by the SF Street Food Festival, which culminates tomorrow. My team, Eyes On The Pies has been steadily kicking butt, making friends with some other people we met through the game, cooking and eating yummy foods and bonding through [...]
I have a few goals for this website, and the primary is for it to not be so vacant most of the time! Thus, I am going to overhaul this errant blog and give that fresh and well-scrubbed look that I vaguely have in the back of my mind.
What will that entail?
1. Create a front [...]
Hello dear all who visit,
I thought I would share with you another overdue update.
I have a new job. The previous job, while a great working experience, ultimately did not turn out to be the most ideal fit after being there for almost 6 months. An opportunity came along to apply and interview for a staff [...]
Hi, hello. Whoever is reading this: I’m sorry! Do you remember me? I apologize for a lapse in posts. It’s been a busy couple of months.
NYE was mellow. A fancy pajama party in a Diamond Heights apartment overlooking the city. There was much champagne, curry, tropical fruit, conversation, old timey music, and a doll house [...]
It’s been trying, here. A few other obstacles added to the already challenging course. I’ve been skulking and moping about the house, but also trying to keep busy. Here are three things that are neat, that made me happy in my domesticity:
1. Dorot frozen chopped herbs – got these at TJ’s. These little containers are [...]
I have not made a post in a long while. A lot has happened since then.
At the end of April, I lost my job of more than two years. It was shocking, completely unexpected, but ultimately something that I ended up accepting and dealing with. I dove into the paperwork that is now quite familiar [...]
Happy Friday, folks! I’m looking forward to a warm (but not too warm!) weekend of laziness. Other than a warehouse concert I am going to check-out with my boyfriend Saturday night, I have zero plans. Tomorrow morning, when done with my house chores, I want to undertake a new baking adventure. I don’t know what [...]

A couple of weeks ago, a little firecracker of a girl I’m friends with celebrated her 6th birthday.
Birthday girl makes a wish
The spread!
My friend Jenny E.’s delicious home made scones & lemon curd.
For her lavish birthday spread, hosted by her mom and our friend Sarah, I baked rosewater sugar cookies, based on this recipe.

My friend T. over at verhext.com scolded me for not updating more often. I’ve had the Creeping Crud (sore throat, runny nose, groggy head, froggy voice) and have been too tired for anything that isn’t soup or a riveting episode of “Numb3rs.” Which is a shame, because I’ve got things I’ve been wanting to write [...]
