decided to change the usual food picture on top to something more appropriate it s been more than a year since i wrote something for the blog and i ve missed so many things the blog s anniversary the requisite new year s and birthday posts and celebrating the successes of many people i ve met through this tiny corner of the blogaverse but the last 365 days have given way to more important life altering milestones so many firsts which just like the excited parent with a camcorder i ve wanted to write about but hadn t because i was too embarrassed or because it was too personal shocking i know that i wouldn t share it anyway i fell in love for the first time last year with it was my first date at the overripe blackened banana age of 28 my first kiss the details of which are too mind blowing to be expressed with my puny words but you know someday i ll try and while no labels were being thrown around the first guy i would call my boyfriend or at the very least would have wanted to had my first relationship not ended it was devastating and friends from all over the world physically and in writing rushed to comfort me their friend in arrested development well meaning but utterly confusing chalk it up to experience you weren t in love it was just your first there ll be better ones you just don t know it yet read the rest of this post at 10 08 am view comments in dessert food french life new york plated dessert 22 june 2010 dulce de leche eclairs éclair confiture de lait a few days ago i was at the cooking section of kinokuniya bookstore i was one of the non japanese minorities there and if you ve shopped there before you d know that finding non japanese non asian non white shoppers are even rarer but there was one that day roaming and i wondered what he was looking for he finally settled in the cooking section and asked another shopper japanese female for assistance he was holding up the japanese version of the lovely book everyday harumi and was asking her if it was a good choice to get to learn japanese cooking etc even though the text was completely in japanese i wanted to butt in and say that it has an english version published by conran octopus

naturedly and with a touch of concern i didn t disagree it was my thing even though i tried so blessed hard for it not to be a thing with me for better or for worse it s how my brain is wired and to be honest it s a really difficult way to go through life especially when your friends do a lot of things that don t really have any motivation or agenda it always has to be about something with me

bigger also you might want to check out my tutorial on curves for photoshop my most favorite tool ever i must confess i don t really like alicia keys i think no one from as i am is her only song that has artistic merit and originality but that doesn t mean i don t kind of like one or two songs from each album for pop value empire state of mind doesn t pick up until the bridge but there s a certain sense of hopefulness amidst the crazy glamorous life of a new yorker in the lyrics that i like the sacrifices you have to make for the american dream and all that above is a snap from what i believe is union station 14th street of a swing band complete with dancing couple the couple was fun to watch but all of a sudden the saxophonist started losing it and i just had to take a pic for obvious reasons while i was in new york i was obsessing about cheap eats and i d heard about hummus place and since i d never eaten hummus before gasp i thought it would be a good place to start read the rest

emblazoned in my memory and noooo it wasn t strippers or anything like that for some reason when i went to paris back in 2004 way before i learned to really love food much less cook i didn t go to any patisseries seeing one after another in las vegas whet my appetite for even more patisserie but again i skipped something that i really wanted to try the flans on the top shelf you ll see the flan peche with that irresistible deep brown burnished film on top of the custard i didn t really obsess about them because they weren t a standard in most of my cookbooks which were in english and i didn t want to make other pastry that resembled it because i wanted to know what the real deal was like first right now i realize i must sound crazy who goes ga ga over custard it s the golden film on top
