HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year everyone! I am back from a whirlwind Christmas and a happy vacation on the Big Island of Hawaii. I had no time for blogging, since starting December 24, I had to drive up to the Central Coast, make 1000 or so enchiladas for Christmas Eve dinner, participate in Christmas Eve dinner + festivities, and then go to bed and wake in time for Christmas breakfast at 8 am. 8 am!? This is not a time I wake up on holidays. But I did, and after scarfing down breakfast, we all had to jump in a car and drive back down to LA to get on a plane to Hawaii.

Once there, I was way too busy laying on the beach and snorkeling and hiking around looking at waterfalls to think about blogs.


But now I am back and it is the new year. I resolve to try to post more if I can, and at the very least I will post once a week. I hope it will be more. I have some posts planned for the near future, including another gift idea and "hidden L.A." destinations that you may not know about.

In the meantime, please enjoy my new design! It was my Christmas gift from my talented husband and I think it looks swell. It's all professional now!

RESTAURANT: Pinkberry

So I finally tried this famous (infamous?) yogurt shop that has begun the conquest of Los Angeles. The yogurt that is called "crackberry" by many. What the L.A. Times calls "the yogurt that launched a thousand parking tickets" due to the notoriously bad parking situation in its original location and its customers tendency to wait in lines for hours. It's the newest thing, taking the place of cupcakes, it seems. It's a rebirth of the frozen yogurt fad of the late '80s, but this time it's different. This yogurt is different. So, my lazy ass might be persuaded to go there, even though it's outside my 2 mile radius of things around my apartment. If it's really that good, I would go the extra .1 mile. But I would not go the extra .1 mile, AND have to go crazy trying to find parking AND then have to wait in life until my hairs turn grey. Nothing is that good. But now there's one I can walk to, and the line is not that long, so we decided to try...

LA.FOODBLOGGING: Groundworks Coffee

Our local foodblogging establishment, la.foodblogging , has seen fit to allow me to contribute.

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...
