Last night I made the most delicious soup! It was a creamy mashed potato and leek soup. I had a base recipe and then added my own special touches and it was delicious!

A day in the life of my cat....
I'm currently in a photography class and the assignment was to follow someone or something for a day. I chose my cat. While she does sleep a lot, she does do a few other activities during the day!

Hakone Gardens, Saratoga Ca
I can't believe that I've lived in the South Bay for the last 13 years and I've never visited Hakone Gardens! I'm a little ashamed of myself. Last Friday I decided to take a field trip to take some photos. I had a field day! The rain stopped for a bit as I started my journey, but the break didn't last long. It dumped buckets while I was trying to shoot, so I ran for the ancient tea house and waited for the skies to clear. Here are some of my favorites!

Oscar Party 2009
Watching the Academy Awards is one of my all time favorite things to do. Every year I have a very small oscar party where we drink champagne and eat a lot of food. This year I went a little overboard and made the following items:
* prosciutto wrapped shrimp
* chicken wings
* caprese puffs
* brown butter parmesan popcorn
* samosas
* chicken taquitos
* spinach and artichoke dip
* chocolate chip brownies
* lemon cupcakes with vanilla bean frosting
I then made the guests goodie bags that were popcorn containers filled with swedish fish, gummy coke bottles, milk duds, a kit-kat and some microwave popcorn. I didn't get pictures of everything, but here are the highlights!

Valentine's Day Sugar
I'm a little late on this post but this year Valentine's Day involved a lot of sugar. I'm not sure how it happened, but we ate a lot of sugar. We started out at Icing on the Cake in Los Gatos, one of my all time favorite bakeries, and then wandered over to Powell's Candy Shoppe for some snacks for our movie. Enjoy!

collage of kids!
I thought I'd put together a little collage of all the cuties I've been so fortunate to work with over the last year or so. Enjoy!
redwood city sunrise
Sometimes it pays to wake up early. I don't really like doing it but then you get rewarded with a sunrise like this. I can't decide which photo I like better. Do you have any opinions?
