Family Photo taken by George; maaaddd love for this woman.

Happy belated Mother’s Day to all of you wonderful mothers out there! Vinny & I drove back home this past weekend to commemorate Mother’s Day with our family, returning to LA late Sunday evening with tons of food. We had initially agreed to make a card for our mom, but realized that the woman really only spends her money on three things: food, her family, & jewelry. Realistically, she’d probably throw the card away within a month & everything else such as flowers, chocolate, cake, & other presents are deemed as a “waste of money.” Why jewelry doesn’t fall under that category, I’ll never really know. We try not to question her logic since she’s satisfied with the two of us helping her in the kitchen & would scowl at any purchases we made for her, provided that she has a coupon exempting her from paying the full price we would’ve paid.

Breakfast: Cereal, Mango Passion fruit juice, scrambled eggs, arugula, & crimini mushrooms

Realistically, I shouldn’t be eating this much food in the morning. It really should just be one or the other, however it is Spring Break, therefore TREAT YOSELF. This is how obesity starts, by the way. Just thought everyone should know. Real talk though, Trader Joe’s sells some fantastic cereal. These Strawberry Yogurt O’s are probably my new favorite cereal. The random chunks of yogurt clusters scattered throughout every 3rd or 4th bite makes your breakfast just a wee bit more exciting. The juice is two notches beneath pouring sugar down your throat, so I’d recommend watering that down. Click the picture to see more pictures pop up at you.

Sanriku Kaisendon: The Best Chirashi of my Life

Donald & I went to Sushi Koto yesterday to fulfill his sushi craving. I had read about how it has some of the best Chirashi bowls to offer in Orange County. Hands down, absolutely not disappointed. Everything in that bowl was fresh, high quality, & delicious. It was also very filling, especially since it came with salad, miso soup, & dessert. The Chirashi bowl consisted of: steamed abalone, salmon, tuna, big scallop, yellowtail, squid, masago, ikura, & avocado all over a bed of rice. Talk about a day in the life of a fatty. In my defense, it was the best Chirashi I’ve ever had & any type of “Best I’ve Ever Had” experience is well worth it!

Alex & Vinny with his new fedora

There was a time when I had reasoned that if I made a new theme for Tiffany Bee, I’d be more inclined to update it more often. Then that happened for a month or two & now I’m back to updating once a month. I finished creating the website for UAA during my winter break though, so check it out if you’re curious. I’ve only been working on it for the past 3 years, but finally got around to actually making it this year. This is what happens when you don’t give me a deadline. Boring. Moving on.

Bibim Naengmyun

When I don’t have much in my fridge, my favorite noodle dish to whip up is Bibim Naengmyun. This Korean spicy noodle dish is served cold, making it perfect for California’s warm weather. I made mine with avocado, sesame seeds, pickled radish, romaine lettuce, & a hard boiled egg. I’m really proud of the sauce, which I’ve perfected. What can I say, noodles & sauces are my forte.

I’m delighted that I’m slowly gaining more followers on Bloglovin! I better make a new theme & take more pictures if I want to keep this up.
