A staple that I always keep in my fridge is a container of hummus. And boy have I taste-tested every hummus to find the best one out there. From the big grocery store brands like Athenos, to the multiple varieties at Trader Joe’s, to the fresh-made types at Whole Foods… I’ve had them all! And [...]

Celebrity Crush: Hugh Jackman
Posted in celebrities, fashion, favorites, tagged Hugh Jackman on April 12, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I could stare at Hugh Jackman all day.
On top of being ridiculously good looking, knowing how to wear a suit perfectly, having a hot Australian accent, this sexiest man alive can sing AND dance. Truly the total package.
I never really saw many of his movies before, but after seeing him host this year’s [...]

I recently found a new blog that I’ve really enjoyed reading. Brand New is a blog about the art of re-branding and new logos and it’s very interesting. One of the re-branding efforts that I didn’t understand last year was Pepsi’s and Brand New offers some insight into it and I find that I’m not [...]
Vacation fun

December is quickly becoming one of my favorite months.
I take two weeks off and get to catch up with family and friends in my hometown of Portland. We throw a huge Christmas Eve party where almost all of my maternal relatives gather. It is the only way to spend Christmas for me.
Though it got off [...]

Among many things I am thankful for, I’m especially thankful for my big, crazy, loving family. I grew up spending major holidays with my parents, brother and sister, cousins, aunts and uncles and I’m happy to report this past Thanksgiving was no different. i spent the second half of my 2+ weeks away from Chicago [...]
Vampire Love

I just started reading the book Twilight on Tuesday and I CANNOT PUT IT DOWN.
I had bought the sequel New Moon a few months ago not realizing that it was the second in a series of 4. When I did, I decided to put off reading it until I started from the beginning. I put it off [...]
Another Chicago food revelation
Posted in chicago, dining, favorites, restaurants, tagged burger, In 'n Out, White Castle on July 29, 2008 | 3 Comments »
… I will never eat at White Castle ever again. I’m not sure what drives a person to visit this midwestern establishment, but I hope once they’ve had one of their signature Slyders that they decide that it is not worth it to return. I had White Castle for the second time in my life [...]
The verdict is in…

… I do not like Chicago-style pizza. I’ve had Chicago-style pizza quite a few times now, and my opinion on it is the same as the first time I had it 2 years ago at the original pizza place, Pizzeria Uno. I thought perhaps I’ve gone to the wrong places, or eaten it [...]
California Eating

I’m an eater. Obviously. My posts so far have been about eating only. Now that I have moved out of the great state of California, I’d like to recap some of the better eateries (in no particular order) that I was fortunate enough to experience while I was there.
Dia de Pesca – Santa Clara, CA
OK, you’ll [...]
