Bake Sale at Kichenette

Started my Day with these treats.

KichenetteSF - "spontaneous, organic, covert, nourishment"
They are located near the Docks in a 'huge' warehouse.
Be there as soon as they Open, otherwise you'll be Sorry (they're open from 11:30am - until they run out...)
They don't serve the same thing everyday... Also, the chefs are apparently different everyday.

Earlier today, I found out that they were having a Bake Sale. When I saw the menu... I did not have the courage to refuse - I'm sorry =/. I am hopeless sometimes - no discipline.


the sleepy hollow:
mini meyer lemon meringue tartlet, mini red velvet cupcake, cheesecake lollipop

the chocolate gobblin’

mini chocolate chile tartlet with creme fraiche, cheesecake lollipop with cocoa nibs, red velvet cupcake

*Mmmm...

Food Adventure

We were invited to a small dinner at Mikey-Ike's parents house down south.

It was very lovely and the food was amazing.
Mikey-Ike's Mum, is I think one of the best cook I've ever met - seriously!

She made us traditional American dinner.

Mashed Potatoe, Greens, and a huge steak - just what my tummy was craving for...


These twice baked potatoes are to die for! I crave for this...
Creamy and the texture is always just right.
And after eating mashed potatoe, the potatoe skin is delish to munch on.

Not sure if this is "traditional American," I learned to eat (from Mikey-Ike, he is part Latino) my steak with these: Jalapeno, horseradish, and salsa ^_^

for Dessert...

Homemade Caramel Apple.

Oh... Über goodness!

Happy Halloween!

I hope things are well with you...

Une femme est une femme.

I hate Mondays. I loathe them.
And sometimes like today I just
refuse to get up from bed.
Just stay in my pajamas, eat popcorn
and watch French movies.

Today I started the Jean-Luc Godard
collection that I found in the library
with Une Femme Est Une Femme.

It tells the story of Angela from Denmark who
is living in 60's Paris with her husband Emile.
She works as a danseuse in a 'strajptajs' bar.
(Her dance number is adorable.)
And she wants children. With Emile. Right away.
But Emile just does not.

So off Angela goes with Alfred, Emile's friend.
This is the scene where Alfred and Angela sit at a tiny bar,
listening to Charles Aznavour and drinking away monies that
they never even had.
Alfred tells Angela he loves her.
Proves it by hitting his head on the wall and then tells her he
will give her a child.

They sleep together.
Angela then goes home to Emile and confesses.
He is mortified. But she says that 'you don't love me but I love you'.
And they make love together so that if Angela is pregnant they
can still spend their lives together and Emile can think that he is the father.
The End.


This movie is so French, so funny and so absurd.
You have to see it!
And oh boy how magnifique is that Anna Karina as Angela?
Tres tres magnifique.

Love,
E

Hello you little things.

I went vintage hunting the other day when my yogic
legs just could not take anymore sitting at my current
'office' - the kitchen table - and my head felt like oatmeal.

And I did come home with some goodies:




A Victorianesque silk shirt that looked like it was an absolute gem
before I actually discovered that it said 'Target' on it. Oh well.
It is beautiful anyhow. Especially without the 10 inch shoulder pads.


The pretty preppy sweater was by 'Esprit' and is pretty much
never used. The flower is old and these shoes are way cool.
They are Made In Brazil By Ipanema.
Now if that doesn't give my step some bounce this summer then
I sure as heck don't know what will.

And the best part?
Shoes: 6.45 USD , 4.50 Euro
Sweater: same
Blouse: 3.25 USD, 2.25 Euro

Blue Hawaii.

In the midst of scrambling through my study material
and trying to clear my head for the final exam I just like
to not think in between and leave it all to Elvis.

Coco Avant Chanel

I saw Coco Avant Chanel the other day.

I have the utmost respect for her---Coco. I think that she was the perfect person to be born at that time and revolutionized fashion for women. She was talented and smart as a whip.

After reading some of what had been written about her, the movie didn't tell the accurate depiction of her, but the essence of who/what she was, was captured in the movie.

And Audrey Tautou was amazing.

ps: When [young] Coco was altering and wearing mens clothes---I immediately thought of you ^_^

And we sure love to party.

This is what we went as:


The Nerd and the Skeletor Boy.

Love,
