Apple Pie






one of my days in big sur was spent poolside on top of the world, on Apple Pie Ridge. The curve of the world was evident from our looking point. Surrounded by mountains, cliffs, and ocean, it was quite hard to maintain a feeling of reality.

big sur escapade




I am back from what seemed now to be a distant dream. Big Sur was the destination, and myself and my roomate Brittany had a six day excursion of exploring, galavanting around, stayed with friends in magical little treehouses, played with mountain-wolf dogs, ate the most amazing food, and ran around like queens.

Where Northern California meets Southern California; intense fusion of rocky cliffs, forests, and redwood trees mixed with tropical plants, palms, clear blue water, and beautiful weather.
we treated ourselves to rich, glorious meals of eggs benedict, frothy lattes, greek honey yogurt & fresh fruits, all while soaking up the warm sun.

I am back now to the real world, brilliant memories in tact, and a plethora of photographs as well, all that will be shared.

I realize, I am quite insane, but it's all for love.

trip to the market






so i stumbled on the greatest market up the street. the freshest veggies, and oh so cheap. Bought three meals worth of food for fifteen dollars. Ever since I ate at Sol Food in San Rafael last week, Ive been obsessed with Puerto Rican and South American cuisine; fresh citrus, coconut undertones, and the basics beans and rice.

My flat mate and I have been cooking up the most delightfully flavorful dishes (all vegetarian, might i add) the past few days, as we have (finally) figured out how to work the gas stove. We have been taking turns playing sugar momma to one another, and our bellies are warm and fuzzy as a result.

pick your fixins
