Blue and Lots of Patterns

My finds in our local Goodwill =)

So happy when I saw this patterned top.

I went to this vintage shop a while back, and they were selling this similar top for about $30.

In Goodwill, I snagged it for only $2.74 =)))

Yippie!

I got this dress for $3.74

Pretty isn't?

I heart the little details of the neckline.

Happy treasure hunting!

Hello Autumn!

First day of Autumn here, today.

I can feel that the changes are coming.

Autumn has arrived, but summer lingers.

As is typical in California---beautiful blossoms and sunny weather remain.

Organic egg/carrot.

Such beautiful little things these organic produce.
From my man's collegue who has a hobby farm where
chicken and geese run around free and where herbs
grow wild in the sun.

So small too these ones that the egg disappeared in
my egg cup this morning. Plonk! I had to stick my nose
down and look for it in there while wondering how on
Earth that happened. Then it dawned on me that why
of course these little natural things have never seen
a day of spraying or a single hormone put into them,
making them tiny and oh so cute.

And the taste! So delicious.

Love,
E

Never Let Me Go

Based on the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go.

I can't wait to see this in the cinema.

"Take me out to the ball game"

America's national past-time --- Baseball.

A few weeks ago, I've become an official fan.

I'm in high spirits when my team (SF Giants) wins

and I'm dismayed when they lose.

I like it; I usually don't watch sports on TV

(i prefer to watch sports live).

It helps also that the SF Giants are winning most of their games

---they are in the pennant race.

In the spirit of the game...

Chicago style hotdog

(toppings: jalapeno, tomatoes, onions, mustard, pickles, and ketchup---

of course, everything is organic and sustainably raised).

and Becks.

and Chili Dog

(toppings: vegan chili, jalapeno, and cheese)

Game on!

In love with a man called Sunday.

Don't you just love the feeling of the weekend?
I do! (You know I do.) I think my surroundings
are suddenly dressed up in this pink hue that is
obviously completely ripped apart by the next
arriving Monday morning but just for that one
day. All pink.

To embrace that I bought flowers. Fresh.
From the market and oh so pretty. But
boy are they smelly too! How on Earth
did that happen and why did I not smell
them before I bought them?

For some reason even hanging up laundry
seems lovely. It is quite summery outside
nowadays and as the forty degree heat has
not hit us yet it is possible to actually go
outside and you know..hang out.

But then he said to me that I should just lie down
and he would make breakfast this time. So under
my nans rug and crept for some quality time with
tv reruns on my computer.

Later after being called to the kitchen I
received my piece of fresh gluten free
rosemary bread with sunflower seeds.

Fresh coffee (always), juice and a vegetarian
English breakfast with beans and egg whites.

Then some fruit!

Oh yeah and he had some sort of a meat
festival with a lot of tomato sauce.
Nom nom.

Then with my belly full I was off to a meet up
with the girls at a local beach side coffee shop
for some more fresh java and possibly even the
latest goss.

Love,
E

Some of my all time favourite cookies.

Hello panda!
Sourced from the local Asian grocers dangerously close to
the city. These Meiji made panda babies are full of delicious
pink strawberry goodness that basically melts in your mouth.

But not only that as they are incredibly cute too.
Have a look at golf panda will ya! So lovely that
little fellow. And I am not sure if they are of
Japanese origin these guys but just looking at them
makes my insides scream KAWAII!

And I always make sure not to turn over the
package as the behind holds the dirty secret
to the divine tastyness of these little creatures.
5' ribonucleatide anyone?


Love,
E

P.S My sister says we need to update more.
Apparently she got sick of looking up
'Weekend hands' post for weeks in a row.
Bless her.

Joni Mitchell

Saw a documentary about Joni Mitchell the other night.

She broke through the music industry in the 60s.

The 60s is one of my favorite era.

Amazing artist.

J-town and the 'Mish w/ Rej

Went for an early dinner with Rej in J-town.

Had a huge bowl of Ramen at J-Town.

Glad, he liked it.

Then I took him to this place called New People.

In this building, there's a Cinema (where they show old Japanese movies); art gallery; artsy paper and things; and a clothing store.

For dessert, I took him to 'Mish (short for Mission).

We had coffee and shared a slice of Banana Cream Pie --- I fin'ly found my pie!

They have great Pies and not to mention community spirit (they are involve in SF's youth advocacy).
