house smells good

Tuesday, February 13th, 2007

I check the weather conditions first thing every day as I sit up in bed. I look out the big windows from our bedroom and squint enough to determine if it’s snow, clouds, sun, dark. This morning I got excited because the hillsides were white!


looks like snow

broccolini bride

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007

Our wedding was a tad fancier than a courthouse nuptial. We were married in the judge’s house (which is also my advisor’s house – because they are married). I didn’t have flowers and I was actually adamant about that. But today I realized that if I could go back in time, I might have changed one thing…


i might have held a bouquet of beautiful broccolini



…and we could have dipped them in some nice herb vinaigrette after our vows and passed them around as snacks!

avocado trick
Here’s how to remove an avocado pit without mushing it all to hell. I learned this from our friend and sushi chef, Fumito. First cut the avocado in half.


with a firm and careful stroke, lodge the heel of your knife into the pit

while heel is stuck in the pit, twist the knife until the pit comes loose
