Sweets from Buenos Aires
What a wonderful surprise! A new friend sent me a box of Havanna Alfajores from Buenos Aires as a Thank You gift! Alfajores are delicious soft cookies filled with dulce de leche and covered with chocolate. I can’t wait to eat one of these yummy Argentinian cookies. Me encantan las galletas!

A Pound of Sukju Namul for Dinner
I love Korean food and decided to make some of my favorite dishes. Bibim bap and beef bulgogi are on the list of Korean recipes to try, but the first dish I wanted to attempt was sukju namul — bean sprout salad.

Where’s Rossini?
Flickr Friday: Fortunes!
For yesterday’s Project 365 photo, I photographed this crazy fortune cookie that I got at work. It’s a fortune cookie covered with white chocolate and sprinkles—and it’s a marketing piece for a public relations management company. Clever. Because inside the cookie was not a fortune, but an ad. But anyway… The cookie itself tasted pretty darn good, and the company can keep sending these to sell their services if they want... Read More
Happy Birthday, Brandon!
We celebrated Brandon‘s birthday on December 15. And although he’s now a whopping 29 years old, he still looks 17! And since no birthday is complete without a birthday cake, I had a wonderful lady create a custom Technics turntable cake. Awesome, eh? The silver icing was ever-so-sweet, and the actual cake itself was Mountain Dew flavored. Talk about cavities waiting to happen! [Party photos coming soon to Flickr...] SHARETHIS.addEntry({...

Worldly Wheelchair Outside Deli
Worldly Wheelchair Outside Deli Originally uploaded by thinklia We were in Toronto to visit family who had just moved there from the Philippines. They bought a new house a month or so before our visit and were having a house blessing on this day. Mom and Dad and their friend (a flamboyantly gay, plump Filipino guy) had to stop to pick up lechon (a roasted pig) for the party. My parents’ gay friend is from Toronto, so he rode in the car with us... Read More
