View from the top of the bluff at Laguna Beach. It’s been a very looooong time since I’ve posted food that I made for Bebe E. One of the reasons why I rarely post my homemade baby food is because it’s basically pureed organic fruits or veggies and honestly, it’s pretty boring stuff. Over the past several months, however, I’ve been taking photos of the food I made for Bebe E, thinking that one day I would write...

Every so often I get a craving for tofu steak. Do you ever crave tofu steak?!? Well, I had a craving for this a while back and made what I believed to be a “hearty” vegetarian dinner. I used to order tofu steak quite often at a little hole-in-the-wall izakaya in West Los Angeles (WLA) on Santa Monica Boulevard called Terried Sake House. Have any of you ever tried this place? It’s been a very long time since I’ve...

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful extended 4th of July weekend! We had a fun-filled weekend, but a busy one! Bebe E’s friend celebrated her 1st birthday, we went to two BBQ’s on the 4th, we finally rented and watched The Blind Side, and I went out with a few girlfriends to see Eclipse on Saturday night (a rare night out past 9 PM without my family) and I’m still hurting from getting home much too late....

Dreary, cold, June Gloom isn’t so bad when I know we’re having shabu-shabu for dinner. I’m sure there are many of you reading this that are thinking, “What? Shabu-shabu in the summer?” Trust me, it worked really well for us in Southern California last week while my mom was visiting. I woke up one morning to very gray skies and cool weather. I decided right then that we would have shabu-shabu for dinner that...

I hope everyone had a wonderful Father’s Day! That seems like so long ago, although it was only just a week ago! I’ve been looking forward to posting our yummy Father’s Day french toast breakfast but I have been surprisingly busy this week, but in a good way! My mom (grandma/Bachan) stayed with Bebe E and I to keep us company and help out while Bebe Dada was traveling. Needless to say, we had a fabulous time while my mom was...

CONGRATULATIONS LAKERS! We won! :) After a grueling, gut-wrenching, hair-pulling four quarters in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, the Lakers overcame a 13-point deficit and beat the Celtics, 83 – 79, earning their Sweet 16 NBA Championship. The night before Game 7, Bebe Dada looked me in the eye and said, “We’re going to win. The Lakers are going to take it.” In my heart, I believed this too, and told him that I felt...

Lakers ROCK!!! The Lakers took Game 6 of the Finals against the Celtics, 89 – 67, and tied the series 3 – 3, keeping the dream alive and getting us to Game 7 on home court. Thank you, Lakers! Thank you SO much for not letting us down!!!!! I must also thank the Lakers for maintaining a significant lead during the entirety of the game because this kept my stress level at a minimum. This was a HUGE relief after an anguishing...

Game 5 of the Lakers vs. Celtics NBA Finals series was a complete disappointment with the Lakers losing, 92 – 86. The series is now 3 – 2 with the Celtics leading. Kobe showed-up to the game in the 2nd half with over 30 points, but the rest of the Lakers team didn’t “bring it”, and with the Celtics shooting at roughly 66%, we were doomed. If the Lakers can’t play championship-grade basketball, they...
