Being as I forgot to update once again, I'll be spamming with a million pictures of food~


Manpuku- grapefruit shochu, cabbage salad & assorted meats that I currently cannot remember..

D&B--nonstop playing Deal or No Deal & ended up w/ baby patrick! Brought him to watch Bridesmaids & let him cool off in the freezer.

Tokyo Table happy hour--OMG Roll, Dynamite nachos, teriyaki chicken quesadillas, & spicy tuna bruschetta. Beef wrapped green onions not pictured but sooo good


Wildfish. Cosmopolitan & green apple martinis, crab cake, salt & pepper shrimp, & upside down pineapple cake

Panini Cafe on PCH. Hummus trio & chicken panini w/ sun dried tomatoes & artichokes

Herb garden from Judy! Starting w/ basil & chives cause they're the easiest & least able to screw up.

My first attempt at homemade french toast w/ bacon & breakfast sausage

Cheesecake Factory at Fashion Island- Jambalaya pasta, Cajun shrimp & key lime cheesecake

HAPPY HOUR

Went to happy hour with one of my girlfriends today at Tokyo Table. OMG Roll & Passion fruit vodka soda = A-MAZing! First time trying vodka soda today & at $3.50 for happy hour, definitely worth getting. Red velvet roll, maybe not so much.

Beginning Stages of Summer

It's been awhile! Summer's been alright so far--with the weather being gloomy then hot (in the same day) it's like a roller coaster! Summer school started today, sadly. Came back to my car with a $60 parking ticket--even more sad; & $114 for a new parking permit. Fees everywhere! But on a lighter note, here are a couple of photos of break so far- :)

I realize I totally threw together a super long post, but I'll be trying to post more regularly & shorten each one. But yes, this is summer as of now~

FREEDOM

Finals are finally over & done with! I've spent the last day and a half relaxing, eating yummy food (at last), watching movies, & catching up on much needed rest. Went shopping with my mother today at Fashion Island & found a super cute striped sweater at Anthropologie that isn't too heavy to wear in the summer. Also picked up Lancome's Dual Finish face powder I can't wait to use! But back to my summer--i cannot WAIT to spend the two weeks I have before summer school starts with going to the beach, taking out Coco, watching movies & finding new places :)
