Food Porn for a Thursday

With Mama T in town visiting, my blogging has unfortunately taken a back seat.

But I don't want to leave my dear readers (all 5 of you, LOL!) completely in the dark. So here is some food porn from the Birthday Potluck dinner I attended last Friday...

A home-made fruit basket courtesy of one of my fellow potluck-ers. Wow huh? His creation could give Edible Arrangements a run for their money.


The Birthday Cake, in all its glory. Happy Birthday Yifan!

and from last Saturday's Saban Free Clinic Extravaganza for the Senses.

Held at Gower Studios on Sunset Blvd, tickets for the event went for about $100 a pop. Proceeds from ticket sales benefited the Saban Free Clinic which has been providing free health care to the Los Angeles community.

The extravaganza featured unlimited small plates and samples from more than 35 of LA’s hottest restaurants, along with pours from over 80 wineries.

Needless to say, I came away from the event stuffed! And yes, that is the Hollywood sign in the background.


Close up of the Hollywood sign, just cos.


Despite the delicious Duck Shawarma from Momed and Thai Tea Ice Cream Macaroons from Milk, the best dish of the night was the Burmese Melon Salad from Susan Feniger’s STREET. The refreshing salad featured watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, toasted coconut, peanuts, green lentils, fried onions and a sesame ginger dressing. Delicious!

Happy Thursday folks! The weekend is almost here.

Finally Friday

Hello Friday! Thank you for coming so soon!

I've got big plans for the weekend, you know. Mama T is arriving state side tomorrow and in the evening I am going to attend the Saban Free Clinic Extravaganza for the Senses. What more can a girl ask for?

Woo to the hoo. So once again, thank you.
xoxo- Me

Happy Weekending everyone!

Anxious Monday

Some food porn from a recent dinner party I attended. Yums huh?

It's only Monday and I am already anxious for the weekend. My anxiousness is not of the usual brand of weekenditist, Mama T is flying into town this Saturday for a long overdue visit! Wooo hoooo!

I am beyond excited to have my mama come visit, and I already have a long list of adventures laid out for us.

Besides my mom's pending visit, I am also looking forward to attending the Saban Free Clinic Extravaganza for the Senses food and wine event on Saturday night. Yet another night of overindulging awaits me :)

Hopefully the week is kind and does not crawl by as I wait in anticipation. Happy Monday everyone!
