Notes & Sojourns: NOW.
http://notesandsojourns.blogspot.com/2015/01/now.html
Thursday, January 8, 2015. The big news: full employment and new lease in echo park (move in Feb 1). Plus, building my business still. More on all that later I'm still in shock from everything happening. But what my real problem is is that I spend so much time planning and plotting instead of actually doing anything. 85 dollars later, I had my organic flours, butter, sugar, food coloring, yeast, extracts, etc. And I set it upon myself to make both croissants and macarons on Christmas Eve in addition ...

Notes & Sojourns: When everything is upside and topsy turvy
http://notesandsojourns.blogspot.com/2015/03/when-everything-is-upside-and-topsy.html
Wednesday, March 11, 2015. When everything is upside and topsy turvy. Things are settling now, but not in the way I expected. Living in Echo Park, especially with Machiko, is amazing however. Our mornings are full of hiking, smoothies, eggs in a cast iron skillet, psychoanalysis, and foam rolling. Evenings are Farmer's Market inspired spreads with fresh flowers, Evan's sous chef-ness, puppy cuddles and synth pop. Machiko, Cassi and I also hosted our first D12 at the new apartment, which went well with ho...

http://notesandsojourns.blogspot.com/2014/12/echo-park-dinette.html
Wednesday, December 17, 2014. Echo Park - Dinette. Despite my conflicted feelings about gentrification, I meandered down to Dinette. In Echo Park for breakfast. My flexible schedule means I get to take advantage of food offerings and morning jaunts that I normally would not have. Sophs and I picked up a latte and an amazing croque monsieur. MIND BLOWN. Let's go over the reasons why I love this place:. Afterwards, Sophs and I stopped at her favorite dog treat store, Blue Collar, to pick up a jerky treat, ...

Words cannot express how much I love those girls. They are so funny and smart and lovely and I felt like I had just seen them yesterday, rather than 8 months ago.

Notes & Sojourns: October 2014
http://notesandsojourns.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 29, 2014. Since my bro and I started living at home again, there have been quite a few changes, i.e. I get less sleep, watch more romantic comedies, eat non-GMO, organic foods and have become mostly vegan - at least when Jas is around. Shred a bit of cabbage. And slice an avocado. Season with a bit of salt and pepper and rice wine vinegar. Soften some mung bean noodles. Fry up some chunks of tofu. After seasoning with chili garlic sauce, salt and pepper. Stir up some soy sauce. Make co...

Notes & Sojourns: August 2014
http://notesandsojourns.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 22, 2014. On our way back from Outside Lands, Evan and I took a detour down the coast with stops at Pfeiffer Beach and Point Lobos. It was Evan's first time properly traveling down PCH, so we stopped at River Inn. And Big Sur Bakery. Posted by Amber Lee. Thursday, August 21, 2014. Sorry for the silence, but I'm still recovering from the beast that is the California bar exam. Exhaustion, anxiety, hyper-ness, insomnia are all residual effects I am slowly getting over.

http://notesandsojourns.blogspot.com/2014/12/roasted-garlic-and-veg-and-caramelized.html
Thursday, December 11, 2014. Roasted Garlic/Veg and Caramelized Onions with Spicy Italian Sausage Penne. I'm in a comfort food mood. (The real question is when am I not in a comfort food mood? Yesterday my mom asked me to prepare something hearty for a late lunch and as the dutiful house-daughter, I was happy to oblige. Afterwards, Lauren and I hit up the Anaheim Packing District for ice cream sandwiches and girltalk. Quite a nice day all in all. For three to four people. 1 red onion, sliced. 3 In a larg...

Notes & Sojourns: Thing That Are Keeping Me Going Today
http://notesandsojourns.blogspot.com/2015/01/thing-that-are-keeping-me-going-today.html
Wednesday, January 21, 2015. Thing That Are Keeping Me Going Today. It's a pretty slow week at work or at least the adrenaline of needing to know so much new information has slightly subsided. But I can feel an achy throat coming on and a desperation for a yoga class, and sitting at my desk all day is weighing on me. BUT THERE IS SILVER LINING. Namely these things:. Key 'Serial' Witness Writes New Affidavit Supporting Adnan Syed. Seth Avett and Jessica Lea Mayfield Sing Elliott Smith. This album, by.
