Soup Eyre

There are only two things in life that can make me swoon: (1) Michael Fassbender (2) challah bread. So, Tuesday night I lived the dream.

I call my dinner "modular grilled cheese." I never got around to actually cooking the thing, but who doesn't like a healthy side of cheese next to their bread and butter? Because sometimes it's just too hard to grill cheese and dream of being Mrs. Maren Fassbender all at the same time- (insert swoon)

Why I Should Never Have "Free Time"

I am not allowed...

-to make a giant skillet cookie 
-to "discover" etsy and rhinestones in the same evening
-to watch 6 back-to-back episodes of BBC's Miss Marple Murder Mysteries

because...

I am now a sugar-high, soon to be blinged out, paranoid mess...

This weekend was...

chicks, chocolate, and Chekhov- in that order.

On the road

Me and my sis

The fabulous JKL

See, I promised you chicks!

Hint: when you go to see a Chekhov play, or for that matter any Russian drama, and they mention a "sudden loud noise" in the final act...they're just opening a big bag of chips...no they're not...

Haiku for a Working Sunday

In-N-Outlets

I am not close to my sister and I am a complete liar. Truth, my sister has been visiting from Boston for the last week and I couldn't be happier. Not only can she proudly sing any number from Follies while crossing an intersection (happened yesterday), she is insanely honest (direct quote: "Babies are so undignified"). To celebrate our reunion, we did what we always do. We went to the Gilroy outlets, ate In-N-Out, and then tried on ridiculous outfits. Oooh and yes, the dress I wore matched the In-N-Out logo. No, I did not plan it that way...I think.

Here's to reunions with fantabulous sisters. Sisters who sing in crosswalks, make fun of everything, and eat In-N-Out.

Time to Roadtrip

 For the last five years, each October, my mom and I hit the road to L.A. for a weekend of roller coasters, museums, and carbs. This year was no exception. Yes, I realize that October was a while ago (don't count how many months), but in the spirit of a belated Mother's Day, I wanted to share with you why my mom is the ultimate travel companion. 

Now, for the food portion of the trip. We have our favorite stand-bys: Europane in Pasadena, Julienne in San Marino, and of course, room service.

How adorable is she? I completely blame her for my addiction to room service. Seriously though, thanks, Sarah Jean. There is no one that I would rather laugh or travel with :)
