Planning a tea party

March 18, 2012 – 10:14 am

As you know, I am the youngest of 6 daughters. My older sisters are all happily married with children, and the majority of them have full-time jobs.  Even though 2 of them don’t work full-time but part-time and volunteer, I consider each one of them to be Super Heros.  They are Wonder Women and Super read more »

My go-to salad dressing – vinaigrette

March 16, 2012 – 5:50 pm

Peyman and I almost always have salad before dinner.  Our salads have evolved from ones that look like the photo above, to salads with kale, zucchini and parm salads, to now more commonly Trader Joe’s herb salad, tomatoes, Persian cucumbers and sometimes avocado.  I’ve made a number of salad dressings too.  Brenda’s, my very first read more »

My Favorite Things

March 16, 2012 – 11:28 am

  My sister Riva introduced me to an application called Pinterest so I can gather all my ideas together without cutting and pasting ideas into MSWord.  This is because about 2-3 months ago I compiled images of wedding inspiration into a Word doc.  I sent it to my sisters for them to see, and Riva read more »

Steamed salmon with garlic, ginger, and green onion

March 4, 2012 – 9:07 pm

For a while I had an allergic reaction to salmon, but I kept eating it and built up a tolerance.  One of my favorite meals growing up was my mom’s sinigang (soup) with salmon. It is a little sour from tamarind, spicy from a yellow pepper, and mmm.. so good.  I promise to share that read more »

The comforts of Fall

October 7, 2011 – 1:47 pm

It’s been a week since I’ve been feeling under the weather but after getting much needed rest, I’m starting to feel better.  After describing my symptoms to my sister, Marie, she tells me I caught the cold/flu that her family suffered from a few weeks back and that it should last another week.  Great.  During read more »

September 25, 2011 – 10:01 pm

I spent yesterday celebrating my sister, Janet, and her husband, Memo’s, 40th birthday in San Diego.  It was wonderful spending quality time with my sisters, their husbands, and kids and Memo’s big family: his mom (who I call Senora), his brothers and sisters and their kids.  We all caught up with one another as we read more »

My message for Ryan Gosling

September 17, 2011 – 1:45 pm

This post is not food-related…well maybe just a little. I watched “Drive” last night and it confirmed my crush on Ryan Gosling.  I remembered him from the Mickey Mouse Club as a kid, loved him in “The Notebook” and thought he was incredibly hot and effective in “Drive”.  I think he’s very talented – I’ve read more »

Remembering, 10 years later…

September 11, 2011 – 4:29 pm

On 9/11/01, at 8:10am I was aboard a plane, leaving the east coast, headed for California. Shortly after we were in the air, the captain announced, “Passengers, this is your Captain speaking. I’m sorry to inform you that the World Trade Center Bldg in NY has been hit by a plane.” You can imagine the read more »
