Torrance Farmer’s Market – Bowers Gourmet Sausages
May 25, 2013
I usually go to the Torrance farmer’s market on Saturday mornings. There are plenty of produce vendors there…but even better are the prepared food booths. Bowers Gourmet Sausages is one of them. They usually have 2 or 3 kinds of sausages on the griddle for you to sample. And they make monster breakfast burritos and […]

You Never Need Nobody by The Lone Bellow You never need nobody You’ve never been alone And I try to get your affection And all I ever do is wrong
Macklemore – Tiny Desk Concert for NPR…Must see!
May 23, 2013
I kind of love Macklemore ever since “Same Love” came out with Mary Lambert. And now, I’ve just discovered “Tiny Desk Concerts” from NPR where musicians play a set in the office. The best thing about this Tiny Desk Concert is that there is no way to contain the energy of Macklemore et al.’s performance. […]
King Shabu Shabu – Torrance
May 23, 2013
Last night, we hit up one of our favorite shabu shabu places – King Shabu Shabu. This place opened fairly recently (a year ago) and speaks to everything I look for in a shabu shabu eatery. It’s clean, bright, has individual pots and the ingredients are all super fresh. They have their own slicing machine […]
Pho So 1 – Gardena
May 22, 2013
Asian people can and do eat noodles for every meal of the day…especially, breakfast! Yeah, I know, breakfast. My parents have been in town for the past week and before they left to go back to the Asian-barren midwest, they requested…yet another meal of noodles. So, we hit up my dad’s go-to noodle place, Pho […]
Musha – Torrance
May 22, 2013
For dinner last night, the parents wanted an ol’standby, Musha in Torrance. This Japanese small plates restaurant (izakaya) has 2 locations – one in Santa Monica (where all the stars like Owen Wilson (yes, he counts and yes, I saw him there once!) go and there’s usually a wait) and one in Torrance (where even […]
Days of decadence = Days of detox…BALANCE!
May 21, 2013
After a weekend of gluttony, I now have to go on a health binge…total oxymoron, I know. To kick things off, I’m going to no carb/low carb it for a while (29 days). And it will culminate with the David Chang / Roy Choi dinner at the Bel Air Hotel. I am not going to […]
Lessons we learn.
May 21, 2013
Ok, things not to watch when in public on a full flight to LA. You will want to be in private so you can bawl your eyes out like a baby. I had to hide my tears and snot quietly while watching all 22 minutes of a beautiful life. When my uncle died, it taught […]
Cheeky’s – LES, NYC
May 20, 2013
A quickie before my flight back to LAX! With a 9:45pm flight, I wanted to make it to the airport with enough time to relax and have a glass of wine in the Admiral’s lounge. So, cousin Christina went a block down to Cheeky’s and got us some sammiches! The fried chicken on a biscuit […]
Sunny days and dispositions.

“i like my body when it is with your body. It is so quite new a thing. Muscles better and nerves more. i like your body. i like what it does, i like its hows. i like to feel the spine of your body and its bones, and the trembling -firm-smooth ness and which i […]
