america's sweetheart (of holidays)
it’s my favorite holiday so far. apparently, thanksgiving means we’re all five pounds up, wearing ugly pants and watching tv or movies or playing games or whatever. it’s a piggy part of the year, but besides the jeans that won’t button - what’s not to like?
it is not only my favorite holiday, but all of america’s. i was shocked when the only people in san...
let's overdo it
sometimes i feel like i’m a fake foodie, because no matter how much i love eating out, i can hardly ever remember exactly what i ate. while i have friends who can explain in detail how the flounder was poached in sage butter sauce or whatever, i can never remember anything but maybe one main ingredient. like, the flounder. and i’m not unhappy with this, i just realize i’m not...
stay for a while
as they say every tuesday night in my favorite podcast: “it’s been quite a week”. it was somewhere between heroically busy and hellishly boring, but anyhow - i couldn’t take the time to blog. not sure where to start either, because not only am i back in coffee for the long term, but i am also moving to a completely different country. where they say “ut and abut”...
man sitting on a burger tuesday
between all my other not-so-real jobs, man sitting is maybe the most exhausting and strange, but fun job i’ve had in a while. drew had surgery last friday on his foot, and being wildly dramatic about it. good news are - while he was gone on drugs and stayed with friends without stairs, i got to stay in his apartment. and now, i get to camp on his couch and man sit him, which means i listen...
happy father's day!
it’s sunday morning. i’m baking bread, and the borrowed kitchen is smelling of baked goodness and coffee. except from that, i had a sleepless night and i feel like crap, but that’s another story for another blog another time.
yesterday was golden, though. i worked in a cheese shop in noe valley. the oldest cheese shop in san francisco, people told me, and from the variety of...
for the first time in a while, i didn’t give cooking a single thought yesterday. after our morning walk and pastries fest, chicken dog, alex and i went to napa with an important stop at the fremont diner on the way. later, while alex had important meetings, chicken and i shopped for antiques and hung out with old colleagues and new friends. we even went to “local’s...
it’s been a while since my last post. a combination of too much work, too many decisions and moving out of my delicious home! i’m basically full-time drifting now, as my plan was. it suits me in many ways and despite being unemployed, homeless and constantly faced with i-have-nothing-to-wear issues (and on top of everything - no internet so i can skype my mom for advice about...
