I’m keeping in line with new changes on the blog. Which is like HI-LOW frequency. One minute you might get full on “editorial” style bullshit photos and the next I’m posting things that took me no effort at all. Couldn’t give a damn, really. In 2014 you might have forgotten to bring salt to the […]

It’s a really simple breakfast I crave at times. Fried egg with leftover chinese rice, regular HEINZ ketchup, and spicy sausages.. It’s just so delicious. I crave these spicy sausages (not exactly high quality artisanal blah blah blah) because I grew up as a young girl grilling these outside with my dad and it was […]

Don’t ask me why, but there’s this thing about me and doughnuts. I have a weird obsession with them. Not even eating them (the last doughnut I had was a while ago…)…I don’t care much for Doughnut Plant anymore, nor do I care about them in general. It’s just my focus on staying thin that […]

I’m trying this tomorrow morning. Except I think I’d prefer to use a toasted brioche slice…Nonetheless I love this idea. Simple, quick, easy… I am 100% sure something strange is happening to my taste buds. I’m unable to eat any “flavorful” foods like my favorite fried sea urchins or any korean stews like fermented soy […]

This was from ages ago, I posted it directly for my followers on instagram incase they wanted any new butter presentation ideas. I post it here in case you don’t have instagram, you can try this idea out as a weekend project. Basically I took children’s glue sticks (non toxic) and refilled it with butter. […]

Lately I have been cooking breakfast at the office, since I am always in a rush to get to work I never have the chance to laze around in the kitchen. But there are limited utensils and ingredients, with a makeshift kitchen (a table with a cutting board, basically…oh and a microwave) I’ve resorted to […]

It’s Friday, and I can’t make any crazy promises. That I won’t pick up some Moet tonight would be a lie. Or that I won’t start my morning off with a bang. And this morning I need this, a waffle sliced in half with bacon (almost burnt, crisp of course), lettuce, and sliced tomatoes. But […]

Now if you are tired of that same French Toast thing on a Sunday morning, you can also try some freshly shaved Monk’s head on mini butter rolls. With some fresh fruit too of course…and some very spicy Grand Marnier soaked apricots…. The only hang up about this cheese is that you will need a […]

Was previously on this mission to practice the perfect egg, and these tools above, they can be used several different ways. Overeasy, sunny side up, soft boiled, and poached. It does not really matter how you get to the final answer. Just that it comes out perfectly. Who said it’s the thought that counts? Execution […]

Simple texas toast breakfast by the computer while I start my morning. E-mail and my favorite blogs of course. Texas toast is one of my favorite things to pick up at the supermarket, it is very, what do you call it, ‘America’. And by the time I am done it will be hard to tell […]

So it’s pretty clear by now that I’ve made more than enough attempts at difficult recipes, things that aren’t exactly realistic for a person who has a serious job, or someone who has a family, kids to pick up from soccer practice, or for a typical twenty-thirty something that works 9-7 and then goes out […]

Today I woke up at 2 am so I was able to do some shooting before starting the day, may visit a friend out of state or may go to the studio, depends on my mood. Also, had to burn some music for my car. Was really tired of listening to my iPhone, craving Harmon […]

Priorities: Getting some restaurant brioche loaves from Balthazar, and then doing a minimal french toast setup with 2 dipping sauces, no maple syrup… If you’ve been around the block with brioche, you’ll know that Balthazar’s really the only one worth eating. Lost my gloves. Oh well. Dark chocolate… Prepare cream for both the chocolate and […]

Priorities and rituals, not much in between going on in life. We’ve already discussed priorities, so now I’m taking the ritual chase. Sunday morning, lox on bagels, some friends and coffee. Gloves off. Need to write thank you note to Adele? Her jam made my sunday morning shoot very chill. Sambuca, anyone? Grinding some fresh […]
