One Reason I Love Chinese Supermarkets:

They carry produce that Americans normally won’t touch unless introduced to it as a “gourmet item.” And for cheap, too. Case in point: fresh, tender watercress. For soup, or for yummy egg, cress and prosciutto sandwiches. Case in point: sweet, mellow golden kiwi. (2 for $1). For breakfast, or for a treat in a bento. [...]
100th Post

All right you-all, I know my blog has been imageless, quiet, and boring lately. And this is my 100th post (yay, milestones!). So I’ll devote this one solely to photography for a change. These are poladroids I made from shots I took when my friends and I went down the shore (to the beach, for [...]

I’m currently sitting in the San Jose airport waiting for my plane to Philly. After moving out of South Bend on Wednesday, I flew out here to CA and spent the weekend attending a wedding, doing research in Monterey, and spending lots of quality time with my boyfriend. Summer has been coming on way too [...]

This week has been crazy. So this post is (very) short, but sweet. In an act of shameless self-promotion, here’s a bit of news: This photo that I took during last week’s round of our department’s National Poetry Month celebration readings . . . . . . ended up being chosen as yesterday’s “Photo of [...]
Post-Easter Slump

I have an alarmingly long to-do list for the next two weeks, but I haven’t been able to get very much work done since the weekend. (Hence my being up at 2:00 AM listening to Pandora and blogging). Thought I might as well post some photos of my Easter table, since I wrote about all [...]
A Dose of California Sun

Sunshine, warmth, green hills, wildflowers and fruit trees blooming all over the place, Stanford, the Pacific Ocean, quality boyfriend time, hangouts with good friends, AMAZING food, city walks, photoshoots, arts community, lots of time and space to sleep and write . . . exactly what the doctor called for. I had a wonderful, restful vacation [...]
See You On Sundays
Posted in food, personal, photography, tagged lent, muffins, photography on February 24, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. As a spiritual discipline, I like to fast from certain things during this season. Last year I gave up sweet drinks and my bicycle. A couple of years before that, I gave up AIM. This year, addition to giving up caffeine, I’m going to be trying to [...]
Special Delivery (or, Poladroid = Love)

I shouldn’t be up right now. By all accounts I should be conked out, sleeping like a dead woman. I was so tired at the end of my night class today that I could barely stay awake for the last 40 minutes. Likewise when I got home and had a conversation with D. Could barely [...]
