I wanted soup! So i made moroccan chickpea soup with spiced oil, garnished with parsley, with crusty olive bread on the side. Also note pretty silver spoon and glass of good merlot.

My severed head collection at work

2008-03-07T15:55:00.000-08:00

Ever growing!! This is especially notable today because the one in the bottom right corner was just given to me as a bribe to do some work i'm already supposed to be doing. Best. Bribe. Ever.

The milk man

2007-11-16T10:07:00.000-08:00

No, caffeine is a pick-ME-up; 'pick up' is the verb.

2007-10-26T16:24:00.001-07:00

It's sad that this really isn't remarkable anymore.

Hell of orange

2007-10-23T00:30:00.000-07:00

Teakettle, persimmons, hot pads, coffee grinder, dutch oven: all my favorite color. :-) Totally accidental, of course.

Note the post-it (courtesy of Hans) and the coincidental headline in the paper :-)

Way too many fucking cupcakes

2007-09-22T14:12:00.001-07:00

Tomato sorbet; salmon ice cream

2007-09-19T16:07:00.001-07:00

Emily, Amelia & I got the special treatment at Cafe 150 this afternoon: Leftover tomato sorbet and, yes, *salmon* ice cream that n8, Sean, & Davey had made for some tomato festival the previous weekend. Holy crap.

Birthday still life

2007-09-18T23:11:00.000-07:00

Wallpaper

2007-08-12T21:31:00.000-07:00

This, at Kenneth Wingard. I want something like it on one wall of my room, I've decided. So excited about design all of a sudden! [Tried to send this yesterday, but i guess my phone thought that a command to delete all messages included one that was currently being sent. Go Verizon QA! :-P]

Oversize Jenga in Dolores Park

2007-08-11T16:27:00.001-07:00

Could we get any more byzantine? Honestly. (My predictive text knows "byzantine"!)

A dream come true!

2007-07-15T20:34:00.001-07:00

I had a dream the other night that the Tamale Lady made vegan tamales. But of course it couldn't be true, so i never bothered to check. But now here i am at Zeitgeist, and here she is, and here i am with a Franziskaner Hefeweizen and a vegan, black bean tamale! OMG! Heaven!!

Back to the future

2007-06-29T17:48:00.000-07:00

A De Lorean, in the google parking lot. I saw this guy drive in this morning, and was like, "hmm, that car looks awfully familiar"... Then he opened the door vertically to get out, and it was hello, christopher lloyd! I fell over laughing; i think he was staring at me.

Pie!

2007-06-27T23:27:00.001-07:00

My first lattice crust! Not that it's any great work of art, but hey. Pie!!

Who needs dinner when you have this?

2007-06-21T20:50:00.001-07:00

It's summer: those are tomatoes! And cold-pressed lemon olive oil i got at the google farmer's market today. And walnut bread. Not pictured: pinot noir. :-)

The bean, in Chicago

2007-06-09T23:05:00.001-07:00

Took a lot of pictures with my crappy little cameraphone; didn't want to blog them all separately, so here they are, in one. (I'm cheating; doing this from a computer.)

#1: The Bean, as seen from the side.

#2: The Bean, with the Chicago skyline in the background:

The Bean, with me & Mom:

My first pair of black shoes EVER

2007-06-07T20:23:00.001-07:00

Well, if you don't count the clogs i had in high school. But still! Shiny! Bought for the occasion of going to the symphony with my mom this weekend, and then a party the next, to go with my new black dress. Guess i've turned into a girl...

Local color

Wedding #1 ... And so it begins

2007-05-25T17:19:00.000-07:00

Andrew & julie's wedding invitation just arrived! And to think that this is the first one i'll be going to primarily as a guest, rather than violist!

Dinner recapitulated

2007-05-21T21:11:00.001-07:00

Even the leftovers of last night's dinner party look pretty! Or, at least taste yummy. That's arugula pesto, i'll have you know. :-P

Box wine

2007-05-20T21:29:00.001-07:00

In case you couldn't find your way to one of the, like, 15 cafes here!

Jaime shaved her head!!

2007-05-05T21:01:00.001-07:00

Or, to be accurate, matt & i shaved jaime's head. As expected, she looks hot with or without hair.

Ojan just rigged this up. Don't think it's functional.

Amusement for your kids

2007-04-26T21:30:00.000-07:00

Apparently google's idea of take-your-daughter-to-work day involves bouncy castles!

Erica's dessert party

2007-04-22T20:51:00.000-07:00

My first pedicure

2007-03-18T16:20:00.001-07:00

At The Pampered Girl: Pink walls, la vie en rose on the stereo, and a big ol' chandelier. Hell of girly!

HOLY CRAP

2007-03-17T20:14:00.000-07:00

Ojan, sans cheveux. Wow.

Outdoor breakfast

2007-03-16T10:20:00.000-07:00

Pretty vespa

2007-03-07T09:46:00.001-08:00

Maybe THIS is the way to get around town!

Lattes at ritual

2007-03-04T13:51:00.000-08:00

Half the reason i come here is the latte art. (other half is it's the best coffee in the city!)

Vegan mac 'n' cheese!

2007-02-26T22:26:00.000-08:00

Yum.

Blogger sucks

2007-02-26T12:37:00.000-08:00

Blogger has been having problems with moblogging. They suck! At least they say they're working on it.

Maybe I should walk over and poke the guys assigned to this bug. Maybe that'd make them work faster. :-P

Anyhow, posts should probably start showing up as they fix this. Some of these have been appearing days after I posted them, but at least they're retaining the correct timestamp. Hmmph. Maybe you'll see the backlog as they fix this.

/me crosses fingers.

The weird fish again

2007-02-25T13:44:00.000-08:00
