I do not claim to be a full-blooded vegetarian. But Cobalt and I do eat a lot of meatless meals for the following reasons: Omitting meat is more affordable. Vegetables and fruits have the best balance of nutrients a human needs: carbs, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals and fiber. The right combination of vegetables and fruits […]
Since living in Torrance, California, Cobalt and I have found some pretty authentic Thai, Korean and Japanese restaurants around town. Not having many of the Asian condiments at home, I find the recipes difficult to recreate authentically. Still, I really enjoy cooking Asian-esque meals, inspired by random veggies in the fridge, some veggie broth, a […]
Three years in — four if you’re counting this one — and I’m still not used to these Los Angeles winters. I just took an hour walk in sunny 70-degree weather whilst wearing shorts and a 3/4 sleeve t-shirt. Sitting at my desk, having just returned to my apartment, I feel a smidge sweaty and dehydrated. […]
I don’t know about you guys but I still have a lot of food leftover from Christmas. All sweets, of course, since it’s been hard to keep up with them. Christmas cookies, candy from stockings, stollen, sparkling grape juice and eggnog. I’ve chucked the cookies and stollen in the freezer for later, I’m slowly but […]
Happy New Year to all of you! Having been absent for an embarrassing amount of time, I am convinced that the omission of this greeting last January caused me to neglect this blog for a second year. In truth, I began a full-time job 2 1/2 years ago and also moved from a 1400 sq-ft […]

Before we moved to Los Angeles from Tennessee in October 2014, Cobalt and I had to minimize our packing drastically in order to avoid using a moving van (we succeeded, praise God!). Some of the things we gave away or sold were even gifts from our wedding two years prior. I was a little sad but knew this stuff was […]
Just a few weeks ago, I harvested a HUGE butternut squash at one of my school gardens. Personally, I’m not much of a fan of winter squashes. They have a sweetness that I don’t like to associate with what should be savory foods (same reason I don’t like sweet potatoes). But I know I need […]
I have the wonderful opportunity to be working once again this year with EnrichLA – a nonprofit in the heart of Los Angeles that builds & cultivates gardens and educates students about how food grows, what it tastes like and what kinds of critters that live in them. My role as a Garden Ranger is […]
Well, hello again! Apparently it’s been four months since I last wrote – little did I know that my summer job would take up so much of my time and that my habitual photography whilst cooking would dwindle! Needless to say, I am back! It will take a bit of time to readjust to documenting […]
