EVENT: No Cookie Left Behind


All right, I know I am lacking in posting lately. Before I get to the good stuff, let me explain what's going on. A lot. The main reason is that I have been taking some classes. One of them required me to spend the last four Monday nights learning, and the other one is a journalism class and I have to do a lot of writing. Unfortunately, after spending the whole day at work and then coming home and writing fake news articles, it's hard to get it together to write blog posts too.

But do not worry readers, I am not abandoning the three of you! This is somehow fun for me, so I'm gonna keep posting as much as I can.

So remember my last post where I talked about the Great American Bake Sale? Well if all of you are as busy/lazy as me, you won't be able to have your own bake sale. So now I have one for you to go to.

Food blogger Tannaz of All Kinds of Yum and her friends are having a bake sale and hootenanny that they call No Cookie Left Behind.

No Cookie Left Behind will take place at my FAVORITE place in Los Angeles, Scoops. (Scoops is at 712 Heliotrope Ave., just north of Melrose, between Normandie and Vermont.) Delicious treats are promised, including maple vanilla granola, fleur de sel caramel cake, pumpkin cupcakes, vegan something cupcakes, lemon bars, Mexican chocolate rice crispie treats, Persian baklava, Barefoot Contessa coconut macaroons, and more. There will be live music as well, and of course the wondrous gelato creations of Tai Kim. And me! I am for sure heading over there.

Please come and help the hungry children and eat good treats. It will be fun!

ABOUT THIS BLOG

I've been evaluating my blog and have realized that, while I have lots of nifty posts, I don't really have a good overall explanation of what exactly this blog is all about, and what one can expect to find here. So I'm creating this post and will link to it in the sidebar for anyone who's interested. I am not a professional chef. I have not been cooking for years. I am not an expert who is going to make beautiful and amazing and complicated dishes to "wow" you. I am, in fact, quite the opposite. I am a total beginner. I've always lived in places with miniscule kitchens and concerned myself with schoolwork and studying and working and not paid the least bit of attention to what I was eating every day. And that's what this blog is all about. It's about me learning where my food comes from, how to make it properly, and how to enjoy it to the utmost. It's no fun to learn by myself, so I started the blog to keep track of what I learn, kind of like a

RESTAURANT: Ristorante Belvedere, Monterosso al Mare, Italy

We started off our second-to-last day in the Cinque Terre by taking the train to Vernazza for breakfast: There was supposed to be a market that day, but since the weather was threatening, there were only a few meager stalls, mostly selling non-food items. We had our breakfast and walked around the village a bit. Vernazza used to have a river flowing all the way through it, but now the river has been shunted underground at a certain point. If you walk to the top of town you can see it, along with some ducks and geese that hang out there to get fed by whoever comes along. J. and I then went to sit and have an espresso and wait for the train to Corniglia, the only town we hadn't yet visited. Corniglia is home to the local nude beach (which we skipped) and is the highest of the towns, elevation-wise. We had to walk up a buttload of steps to get there. Look at me go: That's actually me going down (a lot faster than I came up), but I did come up them as well. There is a bus that ta
