Living In L.A.*

I had a biiiig cooking weekend which I plan to show off slowly over the course of this week, and I even made some delicious things I didn't photograph.

Unmemorialized in photography are:

• Black and white bean salad- a staple of my mom's
• Jacob's cucumber salad
• Pineapple BBQ Wings (deliciousness)
• Chive pork and shrimp dumplings (the extras are frozen though, so I can shoot/eat them later)
  
• Tonight's salad of breaded pork, avocado, corn, shallots, green peppers and gruyere cheese with red leaf lettuce served with BBQ dressing.
  

RIP and my stomach, meals. You served us honorably.

One of the many things I love about my neighborhood would be the sights. I took a night shot of the Wiltern Theater, which I stumble home past every Thursday night after drinks, and miraculously, since it was taken after drinks it turned out just fine. I've only been meaning to take a picture since I moved in, so that was helpful.


From my window I have a lovely west facing view of palm trees, sunsets and more historic neon signs at night. But during the afternoons, the other thing I have in my wall of western facing windows, is a perfect sun tea factory. Featured here is Sunday Afternoon Sun Chai, before it has steeped. Also featured, in a supporting role, is a palm tree.


And that's about it for now. Join us next time for the Limeade series or our feature on Back to Back Farmer's market action!

Hello Hello.

I am starting a food blog space. It may also start to contain art projects and such as time goes by. But mostly I realized I make lots of food and I would like to show it off sometimes. So, to kick it off right, here is a pile of things I made recently:

Green Iced Tea, pair of coddled eggs, bacon and toast with jam.


Balsamic Hamburger with caramelized onions, sauteed mushrooms, garlic red pepper goat cheese, served with a side of spiced purple potato wedges and spicy ketchup.


Heart shaped sweet potato ravioli with sweet potato, nutmeg, goat cheese filling, served with fried sage, browned butter and parmesan cheese.



Spring rolls with mint, basil, shrimp, sauteed oyster mushrooms, peanut & scallion garnish, lettuce, avocado and rice vermicelli.
