Mmmmm meat

Eating in New York is dangerous. There are tourist traps everywhere — good food that is really expensive, pretty food that is no good, or food that is just plain bad. My latest trip to New York (pics) was foodgasmic.
We went to Katz, 2nd Ave Deli, Blue Smoke, La Famigilia, and […]

Sadcake

I bought this cake during my December trip to New York, and it was not happy. I’m a huge fan of Delessio. I’ve heard good things about Kara’s Cupcakes but I haven’t tried them yet. Whole Foods has decent grocery store ones. I like that they sell a few vegan varieties. […]

A delectable gift

I slowly circle it, taking in every angle of it’s beauty while it calmly stands there oblivious to my devious thoughts. I examine each of it’s 20 or so stems; the color and shape of it’s bloom, it’s proximity to the others and it’s scent. Finally I choose one. A slight tug […]

Dinner at Fiamma, Las Vegas

After looking at all the menus at MGM, we chose Fiamma. Good Italian is difficult to find in SF, so it seemed worthwhile to try this cute Italian place.

The meal:
beet salad
octopus salad
grilled hamachi
lobster gnocchi
spaghetti & meatballs
donut holes

Drinks
The best drink I had was at this restaurant. It was some brandy/cherry concoction that was (amazingly!!) […]

Lotsa updates yea!

It’s been quite a busy week.

Click!
On Saturday the lovely Miss Icka and Elaine came by to do a photo shoot. I was quite honored that they wanted to use our home as a set. There was drinks and fruit (naturally) and lots of fun. Here’s a little preview. I can’t wait […]

dinner at aqua

For my sister’s birthday, Dennis and I took her and her fiance out for dinner at Aqua. This is one of those popular fancy restaurants that my sister has been talking about for years.
dishes I discuss:
raw hamachi with basil
pea soup
sturgeon with chickpea
skate with portabello
pot roast with prawns
creme brulee
chocolate tart
lemon souffle
poached pears
crappy cameraphone photos from […]

Rich, sexy, flavorful chocolate

Today as I was munching on a Green & Black 70% bar it occured to me that all the foodies I know love dark chocolate. In true snob fashion, they all claim that white chocolate isn’t even chocolate, and milk is questionable at best. They (we perhaps?) consider chocolate candy in a completely […]

mmm life

More and more I realize how short my attention spans. I have so many interests and hobbies that I don’t allot enough time to any of them. These are my current projects:
4 short movies (1 in editing, 2 filmed, 1 to be storyboarded)
1 picture-taking session (I bought the most awesome pomegranate…)
6 sewing projects […]

lesson for the day

This morning I popped a whole campari tomato in my mouth (about the size of a golf ball). As I bit down on it, it attacked me with a shot of acid juice right down the throat. Fortunately, I didn’t die, but I will be killing my tomatoes before eating them from now […]
