With the holidays here, I meant for this post to be roundup of my Thanksgiving meal. Like a good food blogger (which I haven’t been these last few months), I planned for pulled turkey tacos, corn salsa and bevy of desserts. I called it the anti-Thanksgiving, forgoing traditional items with a new spin. Instead, I mourned... Continue Reading →
Well, That Face Looks Familiar
See the entire video focusing on Miramar/Clairemont by the San Diego Tourism Authority here. It's part of a fabulous project highlighting different nine areas of San Diego that includes City Height, Barrio Logan and Point Loma. I learned so much from watching the other videos and discovered some new spots to check out.
[RANT] Just Say “No” To Pumpkin
Fall is my favorite time of the year. Summer transitions into cooler weather, hearty comfort foods become the norm and I break out a second comforter at night. But it also signals a not-so-pleasant time of year — pumpkin season. It didn't bother me so much in years past. I enjoyed having a slice of... Continue Reading →
Gotta Get Them All: Tonymoly Hand Creams
It's been a while since I've gone shopping for myself. Between staying at home and lounging in my yoga pants sitting in front of the computer working, there's really no need for me to go shopping. Don't get my wrong. I love to window shop at the mall during the weekdays when people are at... Continue Reading →
My Freelance Life and Lack of Posting
One quick look at the calendar today and I realize the only time I blogged was earlier in the month – and only to poke fun on Dominique Ansel’s copycat cookie shots. But I poke fun at a lot of things like food photography - I'm like that. My lack of blogging doesn’t mean I... Continue Reading →
Dominique Ansel: Copycat Cookie Shots
Remember about a year ago the Cronut arrived on the scene and what followed was a slew of Dominique Ansel copycat creations? Well look what's he's "created" this year for SXSW- cookie shots. Ahem. For the regular readers of my blog that go back two years, does it even seem the slight bit familiar to something... Continue Reading →
Guessing Game: Pizza or Flatbread?
Has the term "flatbread" become interchangeable for pizza? For me, flatbread was always something plain or lightly dressed. Think crackers but not coming from box. But as of late it's taking on a new look. Fully loaded pieces of flatbread are common on menus. And often times it requires it to be eat with utensils.... Continue Reading →
Food Photos: The 100% Real Deal
Lately I've been fussing over my food photos. I've been so unhappy with them. It's several different issues which I'm convinced is partly due to my camera. The colors are off. Photography in dark restaurants is an issue. And there's only so much I can do in Photoshop. But recently I found a food blog... Continue Reading →
You May Have a Problem If…
...you read a food catalog at the gym. Specifically, a Zingerman's holiday catalog. The gym photo was taken at my chubbiest fattest immediately after our road trip. But I've been working out since November and finally happy with myself again.
Merry Christmas!
Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas! Happy eating in 2014!! (Apologies to those who received this postcard five years ago.)
