White elephant

It was girls only this year! We wanted some time alone for drinks and laughs :) although not everyone was there, we did our best to have a good ol' time!

homemade candied apples!!

First time makin' these DELISHHH caramel apples and they turned out awesome! It was definitely a bonding moment with R & S. xoxo!

Mmm sweet cakes!

It was definitely a chilly night but it did not stop these silly girls from trekking out there for some dee-lish (L's words: orgasm in your mouth) cupcakes!!

Christmas is coming!

S & K put up their tree over the weekend and it looks amazing! They even have a slick mistletoe laying around so becareful where you step ;) I wouldn't want to be caught under there unprepared!

Pollyann's red bean thang

I saw it on sale at Ranch 99 and couldn't resist so I bought a few boxes... lol. They are sooo good - and they have whole red beans infused in it! Please try if you have not before :)

mMm... my lucky butt got to participate in the feasting of another hotpot session. the fish balls were amazing! and oddly enough, I finally learned how to cook the vermicelli properly lol

HBD J!

Oh December babies! It's a great month with so many different things to celebrate! :D

Hydrangeas and all

After a crazy morning of rain, soaking socks and shoes and ponchos, it was very nice and comforting to hang out with good company, a cup of hot tea and sunshine. 

Want to split?

Cream or no cream? :)

Thanksgiving feast

This was an absolutely amazing meal! De-boned turkey, wasabi mashers, stir-fried sticky rice and sooo much more! I also made my yummy apple pie!

Brain masala

I would've never had the guts to order this lamb brain masala if it hadn't been for L! But I'm so glad she did cuz it was super yummy! Didn't even taste like lamb at all :)

Flugtug 2012!!

Bubby sunbathing

He was lovin it so much! I wanted to join in!

Best time ever!!

Catchin' S.R. sun -`o'-

I think I was pretty clever to have just created a quick pic of the sun in the subject line :D Glad I got out to hang with C today - grubbin' on some delish sol food and kickin' back. 

NWM 2012 Finishers!

These two crazy beasts rose to the occasion and took on the NWM 2012 by force! S single-handedly took on the half and beat her predicted time of 2 hours! WOOT! And bad-ass D took on the hills of SF for a full on 26.2 mile runaround. Girl thought her knees were going to break off afterwards, but we're ALL super PROUD of her! 

CARB PARTY PRE-NWM 2012!

We got our feasts on tonight since it was a big day for a couple of the girls tm - S & D!!! One's doing the half and the other is doing the full. It was imperative that they were well fed and ready to take it on full force! <3

Cuzzos

This pic was taken a couple of months ago during a family get together. I always love seeing everyone and hanging out :)

Catching Blue Angels

We thought for a bit they weren't going to show so we went home. Then we heard them and ran up to the roof to catch the show! No crowd around here =p

Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival

How amazing is it to be out in the sunshine with good company and booze? :)

Another peaceful afternoon @ the park

It just feels awesome. I can't describe how great it is to feel the warm sun on you with the occasional light breeze passing through. I'd like every day to be like this.

Loungin' @ Creations

I think this has become a usual spot for L & I to catch up at. It feels so familiar and homey - we usually know what we want to order without even looking at the menu. The atmosphere is casual and quiet so we can gab and not have to yell over others voices. It's an awesome ritual that we've created :)

You're Beautiful

Love this song.

HBD mom!

Great food, great company, great chatter. I couldn't have asked for better. So good to seeing everyone :) Happy Birthday to The Best Mom Ever!! xoxoxoxoxo

Chili powder with popcorn chickun

Lol. It got pretty spicy and I had to stop. Every piece was coated with red powdery goodness

Me time

It was just me, a good book, lots of sunshine and a few good hours at a neighborhood park. How much more awesome can it get?

Days like this definitely do not come around often.

Wah-san-ya

That's how you say lasagna in Chinese. Just learned it from my mama

An oldie but a goodie

Super clever way to make a bike rack a fun thing to strap your bike onto ;)

Work turned wine/mani night!

We were going to get together to get some work done. That was before wine and manis got in the way. Owell it was still productive nonetheless!
