Two of the most incredible people I know and their perfect wedding got a four page spread in a UK bridal mag. Unreal.
It was the only wedding I’ve been to where I walked in and just felt like the wedding embodied the couple. From the venue to the decorations to the food to Dan officiating the ceremony in a purple lei. Liddy and Krista were a perfect team.
I know your wedding was this summer (and this was a little delayed – slash I hadn’t started jdm yet), but still… congrats lovely couple.
I heart you!

I’m sicky sick sick but it’s my birthday so I’m posting about the two wonderful things that happened to me today. Three actually. 1. My favorite baker made me a birthday cinnamon roll (aka one of her delicious cinnamon rolls with a pink candle in it) 2. Tino got me little yellow roses for my kitchen garden (how sweet!) 3. Rebecca got me a private calligraphy lesson… Which I’ve been wanting forever and I’m so excited it almost takes away the fact that I threw my back out coughing.

It started with West Hollywood’s Fashion’s Night Out… fashion, food trucks, and many many cocktails. Ended with a roundabout trip to MOCA, Wurstkuche and boba in Little Tokyo.. I don’t have many days that include Phillip Lim and Coco de Mer one night and Dennis Hopper and rattlesnake, rabbit & japaleno pepper sausage sandwiches the next…
And… a picture of “Mini Dogs” from a bakery in Little Tokyo. They look like Snowy… and seriously? Who doesn’t want to eat their fruit when it’s covered in frosting? Especially when it’s so freaking cute.

I am dreaming of…
Sitting on a Mexican-tiled terrace, shaded by wisteria vines, sitting in a hanging chair, reading Anna Karenina (which I recently started reading and would love a week of solace to absorb). Perhaps with a wild strawberry bellini in a hand-painted butterfly glass? Anthropologie can provide the glasses and chair, I can provide the books and bellinis, who can provide the rest?

First things first – the popsicles are show stoppers. Could have used a little less sugar or honey, will probably use 2/3 the amount called for next time, but oh my lord. I am a happy girl.
And now, onto asparagus! I didn’t think it was possible for someone to like asparagus more than me, but today I found that there is such a person. Her name is Nicky. Nicky grew up picking asparagus on the farms where she grew up. Asparagus obsession runs in her family. I think it does in mine too.
First off, most asparagus is grown in tunnels. Second, there are three types of asparagus: green, white, and purple. Asparagus turns green when grown in the sun (tunnels have skylights for green asparagus), and white asparagus is grown completely in the dark. White asparagus is harvested at night so never has a chance to turn green. Without the sun, it doesn’t absorb the chlorophyll and remains albino.
Asparagus grows so quickly that it has to be harvested on a daily basis. Snip snip one day and the next you’ll have another! Each asparagus plant pops out of the ground as one single spear – what an insane vegetable.
I need to do more research to find out why purple asparagus is purple. Wasn’t going to include it but I found this amazing picture of all three types so I had to! It’s just such a gorgeous color. Hopefully I’ll find all three colors at the market this weekend and be able to make a tricolore asparagus somethingorother.
PS. Not everything is going to be about food. I am a well-rounded person. I promise.
