I was able to get out of town the past few days and go up to Missoula, Montana where Jeremy’s family lives. It was a welcome break from the craziness of the past few months, the fresh mountain air and beautiful scenery did...
Things have been moving very quickly here. I’ve been immersed in many photo projects, much writing, and keeping tabs on the home-purchasing which has hit a small snag with the appraisal, (but that should be resolved soon). Sometimes when the world seems to...
It’s starting to heat up again around these parts, and by that I mean it was already 95 degrees by 9:30 am yesterday morning and I wanted to throw myself in a freezer. Yes, the Los Angeles summer is already beginning to pour its...
Before I dive into this orange almond cake, I have something else to share with you. I’ve been planning this for a while and have wanted to share it with you for so long, but had to hold my tongue until everything came together....
I have returned from my trip to Oregon with good news, we found a house we loved, we made an offer on it, and our offer was accepted!!! Sooooo as such, I’m currently buried under mounds of home-purchasing paperwork and filled with glee. The...

I’ve been delving into Indian cooking with increasing frequency as of late. I don’t know if it’s my admiration for a generous use of tomatoes, or my love of their frequent creamy-spicy flavor combination, but I simply can’t get enough of it these days....
It’s been a crazy past couple weeks around here. I’ve got my fingers in a lot of pots at the moment, with articles to type, photos to take, and Oregon house-hunting finally on the horizon! Yes, my friends, we’re finally taking the big leap...
Several weeks go I had the pleasure of hosting an edible flower workshop at home in my garden. We went over starting seeds, transplanting, the various edible flower varieties you can grow at home, and the ways that you can incorporate them into...
