Good Eats: Blue Marlin & Beard Papa

On Sawtelle Blvd in West LA, there's a tiny stretch of land that reminds me of a miniature version of J-Town. Whenever I crave Asian food but refuse to drive, I'll always pop by here for some Hurry Curry or Curry House. This time around, I went and tried Blue Marlin with a perfect dessert stop at Beard Papa.

The restaurant was simple and our waitress was so sweet. They're known for omurice, a combination of omelet and rice, which is what I ordered. I'm glad I tried it, but I'm not sure if I'd eat it again. Different strokes for different folks.

After dinner, Jennifer and I walked over to Beard Papa to cross another spot off GFN.

Beard Papa, I would have you for dessert every single day if I could. You're just so yummy.

Happy new year, friends!

I'm currently moving and everything is in disarray. Be back in a few days when I can find my laptop (uh-oh), scrapbooks I'm working on, and my external hard drive. xox, jsl

Dec Daily 2011 update, 10 - 15

This month has flown by so quickly, I can't believe Christmas will be here by the end of the week. I'm so happy with myself for having kept up! Hooray! My fear was not being able to take a photo a day to document the "daily," but it's a lot of fun. Much love to my iPhone.

My Weekend in Photos

This weekend flew by like a blur, I just couldn't keep up. Between packing up my studio for a semi-permanent move, fulfilling orders, tying up loose ends at the shop, and trying to get back the full use of my wrist, it's been a lot of running around.

Janet and I did find some time to get together and have brunch, which was so nice because I love spending time with her. She took me to this phenomenal place called Europane Cafe in Pasadena, where they're famous for egg salad sandwiches.

I'm off to take photos of my Dec Daily update for tomorrow!

Oh, PS - do I have any Pearl Jam lovers out there? Anyone? Leave a comment below if you are. I have a Pearl Jam present for you.

Good Eats: Millie's Cafe

On a Sunday morning, hungover and in dire need something yummy and breakfast-y, my girlriend + I took a short drive over the reservoir to an enchanted land called Silverlake.

I apologize firsthand for displaying a half eaten breakfast filled with ketchup. I didn't realize I hadn't taken a picture yet until I did. Blame It on the Alcohol.

I loved having breakfast on the sidewalk under the shady green umbrellas. It felt so nice having the breeze on my face whilst enjoying a cup of joe and catching up with Chris. I took to Yelp while waiting to be seated and practically everyone raved about the biscuits.. they weren't magical in my book. A little dry, but it's all good. You win some, lose some.
