Macaroons. I do admit they are pretty and colorful to look at, but I’ve never really quite understood what the big deal about these things was. All the women around me would be raving about how they go crazy for macaroons like they’re …diamonds. I’ve eaten them before and they were just “normal …

My Photo A Day Project on Instagram
I’m a huge fan of Instagram. This nifty iPhone app makes taking and sharing pictures fun. You take a picture, put a filter on it to make it pretty, and share it with the world. My friend got me started on doing this “Photo a Day” project with him. The project requires us …

Inspiration of the Day: Nature and Rain

A Meaty Company Lunch For A Carnivorous Girl
What’s better than a meat-iful lunch that has nothing but sweet and savory BBQ chicken, BBQ ribs, BBQ brisket, with mashed potatoes, mac and cheese? To have it catered right to your work place so you don’t have to do anything, that’s what! 😀 My workplace has a monthly companywide lunch that caters …

Jinya Ramen, Costa Mesa, CA
