Top Chef Episode 4

today is the start of the team guam vs team legen dairy...yes the top chef fantasy game. whats at stake: a free dinner

here is the team i picked:


eugene- he is just my favorite. fabio and stefan- not a big fan of them and their bromance but i will say they have been strong competitors.

turns out it doesn't matter who i picked b.c team legen dairy picked the same team which means so far the score is 10-10. thank you fabio for giving us points.

stay tuned for the winner!

Welcome.

welcome to my new blog all about my love for all things food. this blog begins with my amazing food filled week in sunny california. here are some highlights from my weekend....

here was our thanksgiving spread made by one of the best cooks i know: my auntie wendy

the spread included red rice, lumpia, leg of lamb, mash potatoes, shrimp patties, ham and (drum roll please) TURDUCKEN!! it was a thanksgiving of a lot of firsts: the turducken, civet coffee , and my first glass of port.

another highlight for the week was our family outing to Cantina in the city. i have never seen such work go into the making of a drink. the drinks were amazing. these are the two i ordered:blushing lima. pisco, orange muscat, lemon, heering cherry liqueur

blackberry & basil cooler. square one organic vodka, muddled blackberries

it was an amazing food week for me and it gave me the motivation to start this food blog. more food adventures to come soon.
