Libbi and Tin take the first bite and first sip! Cheers, dears! Chow-chick-a-CHOW-CHOW!

Can you say F-E-A-S-T? The the hands of me, I cranked out a deliiiiishiiiious B-day Dinner for Katherine KAI-LIN Chen. Menu consisted of Seared Steak over a bed of Mixed Greens with Mango Salsa, Eggplant and Chicken Parmigiana, Roasted Eggplant and Asparagus... followed by Better Than Sex Cake. Wine was served as always! FOOD IS LIFE.

I LEFT MY HEART in SAN FRANCISCO.
I took a brief but incredibly memorable trip back upnorth this past weekend and now I'm back in LA....feeling bittersweet. Is that what life is mean to be?
Let's first recap the trip.
Thursday afternoon, AFTER workin from 7am-4pm, Cin meets me @ my apt. so we can drive up north. After sittin in traffic for a good ---say 40 minutes, we're finally smoothe sailing upnorth on the 5 highway. We arrive at Mell's in Mountain View around 12 midnight in which my car smells like IN-n-Out from our pitstop in Kettlemen CIty. If you'd like to know, Cin scarfed down a hamburger and fries while jess inhaled a grilled cheese sandwich. Along the way the snacks we healthily consumed were a bag of Ritz Jalapeno Cheddar cracker sandwiches -- which Cin kindly selected @ the 76 gas station in LA when Jess told her to get, "Something exciting!" Exciting apparently = Jalapeno Cheddar cracker sandwiches. Who knew!?! Anyways, Cin also bought Sophisticated Trail MiX. I.E. no chocolate chips! Cin says they're bad for you so Jess pouted the entire ride upnorth. So FINALLY in MOUNTAIN VIEW, it takes us 5 minutes to find the entrance to Mell's apt. complex..
Once in, the whole complex is very pretty, and her 1-bedroom place is quite the bachelorette pad! Anyways, we hugged and reunionized after many months apart. The coolest part is that it was like time never passed... how amazing it is when we can reunite immediately feeling like it hadn't been a GAJILLION months since our last inperson visit. Cin and I kept Mell up even though Mell had work the next day. We caught up, made jokes, yada yada. It was gggreat. Then I skiddadled my way home to sleep in bed.
Friday was spent doing absolutely nothing and it was absolutely nice. Errands and such till Dinner @ the restaurant with Ma and Pa! Apparently dad was dining with all of his USF Grad SChool friends that evening @ the restaurant! It was so cute to see how funny they all are together. After eating for 3 hours, one of the friends invites everyone back to his place, and my parents drag me, the only YOUNG person along. I was cool, I had a good time. So from 930pm-130pm, I HUNG OUT with thes 50-sumthing's as my dad consumed a WHOLE BAG of fresh AT-HOME ROASTED PEANUTS as well as all these other snacks the host prepared! Grapes! Oranges! Madelines! Pistachios! Chexmix! Tea! Chinese Red Wine! It was seriously another meal. Anyways, again I hope in 30 years my college friends and I can be like that too. Be 50 and talk about chinese jokes, how people from China have so much cash on hand that as long as they're coming to America - house prices will never drop and that there will be a Chinese president in the future. To that - I say, are you shureeeee??????? It was funny though.
Sat. morning I brunched with my childhood friend Sandy. Visited her new place in Plesanton and the place is aweeeeeeesome and soooo cute! She got me this cute MAE tshirt and I got her a navy satin Clutch! I have since attempted to "destroy" the tshirt but i may have cut it a lil short so my fat handles may make an appearance in your neighborhood sooon. =) Brunch was sooo good @ Kathy's Korner in San Ramon and I met her pal's Dorothy and Jackie..who both went to Berkeley and who I later find out - my other friend knew from college. I missssssssssss Sandy - is the nutshell of the morning.
Quickly following brunch i had to take mom to go have LUNCH @ Banyan Gardens in Union City. Sooo much food I wanted to explode. It was cute eating with Mom's and the manager there loves us so we sat and talked to him and he decided to comp our meal. He's sooo sweet! If you ever go, say hello to Richie!
Sat. afternoon is when all the great festivities started! Met everyone for Mell's bday dinner in SF @ SAM TUNG's in the Sunset District for the best Chicken Wings in town! SOOO GOOD I vow to visit that place every time I go home. Someone must have a bday, rehearsal dinner, wedding banquet there just so I can eat the wings!!! It was SOOOOO SWWWEEET seeing alll my friends I haven't seen in ages, there were 12 of us @ dinner and we couldnt stop talking. WE ordered soo much food, drank soo much tsingtao beer, and inside I was just appreciating how good I have it too be in the company of these wonderful people.
Next stop after dinner was gettin ready @ Wendy's. Wendy was kind enough to provide a great location for us to get ready/preparty @. Annette brought tons of champagne from work, and about 8 of us primped. It was soo fun being girls, showing off cute undies, cute tops, cute make up, cute hair. Takin a bajillion pics and drinkin up. This is the life.
We then proceeded to take a taxi to HOLY COW ---total dive bar that was very much fun. Drank up the $3 dollar SOTB well drinks, and proceeded to watch EVERYONE get wasted and pukey --except Shirley and me. We rock! The girls dranks tons, the music was typical white music.. aka "girls just wanna have fun" some hip hop, more white music like GJWHF, and I basically spent the evening talkin to Mell's friend Specker who is very much cute and sweet. Mell was pukey and into the car by 1130pm, and the rest of us girls followed suit by 12am. WE are OLD and LAME. hehehehe...
Once back @ pre-party HQ, Annette and Mell continued worship porcelein god 1 and 2 while Sober Sally's Shirley and Jess made ramen for everyone. Everyone passed out for a bit by 2, Mell peeled herself away from toilet by 230, and few of us were up till 3am till everyone passed the F out. So concludes, Mell's 23rd Bday. hehehhe.
Ok. Im tired. I'll continue later. I promise. =)

I MISS.....
As I sit infront of my crappy lil short desk, typing away, downloading away, watching American Idol (forgive me, for I have sinned), I catch up on Mell's blog --- and realize how much I miss her and I feel special that I'm still mentioned in her entries. For these evoked feelings, today's entry is written in remembrance of everything I miss in my life.
I Miss....
Mell: Where is my life without Mell? Still going well but a life without my Mell around everyday, isn't as sarcastic, humorous, generous, industrial systemish as it could potentially be at the most "optimized level of efficiency." I read her blog and all I have to say is: I appreciate you hun and miss you miss you miss you!!!! To not be able to hit the town with you and "the gurls", drink homemade apple martinis, eating your mom's taiwanese food, hearing you tell me you want to suffocate me, doin' make-up in the bathroom,
is truly an unfullfilling life!
Seeing My College Friends Everyday: How I miss the days of seeing at least twenty smiling familiar faces on campus or around the apt. complex of those near n dear deltas who are always interested in how you are doing. Watching sobfest dramas such as Up Close and Personal with Mell, Julia and Maribeth. Such LAME-O's we were. Eating apples with knives. Drooling as we watch Alias. Bitchin over chores. Who's doing the dishes?!?! Who's takin out the trash!?!? "Not until after my final in 4 days." Thanx, Mell. hahha.
Being Addicted to Movies: I'm more so addicted to TV watching of certain shows than movies. SHocking. I know. What happened? I don't even know. TOo many crappy movies? Maybe. Or maybe I don't have the time and those CONSISTENT always there Deltas I could always call up to go to the cinemas with. Wahhh!
Real Chinese FOood: Living on the westside equals ZERO good chinese food. I miss the food from back home. =(
Snuggling: Do i realllly have to explain?!?
Parents Footing the Bill: again..do i really have to explain?!?!
Being a Kid: To not have to worry, to think so much, to have to be responsible. Sometimes I think I grew up too quick for my own good. Could've made more mistakes in life, could've cared less about things, situations, people. Maybe I wouldn't feel like I carry a big part of my world on my shoulders. But at the end of the day, that wouldn't be Jess. That wouldn't be me. Am I too independent for my own good? Have I been tooo "good" for my own good? Who wouldn't thought that huh?

Yay to new Blogger Interface!!
It's been tooo long.....again.
Ok. Again I have failed to update this blog regularly. I'll get over apologizing now and just update it ... or not. O
k, I can't even remember when I did this last, but in a nutshell... I've been promoted to J.CREW Santa Monica as a Manager-in-Training. Do I love my job? Very much. The atomosphere rocks, the area is relaxed..... besides the smell of the interlopers on the Promenade..if you know what I mean. The smell of the 3rd St. Dwellers is so BRISK, STRONG, INTENSE, we have some flies that like to kick it infront of our main doors. NOT COOL.
Couple nites ago Skess, Susie and I went out for much needed Margarita's on a rare Alias-free Sunday nite. No new ALIAS makes jess want to go out. Ok, so we went to this place we've never been called LULA in Santa Monica, on cute Main Street. Everyone should go to anything on this street as Main St. has a lot of shops, restaurants, bars, coffee houses, etc. Anyways, Lula is a Mexican joint that serves what some people consider, "The Best Margaritas in Town!" We weren't dissapointed as they were strong and deeelish. After ordering margaritas and while PULVERIZING the tortilla chips'n'salsa, we gabbed about every important and non-important to us. The whole conversation was near and dear to me and truly made me realize, again, why great girl friends are the best things EVER. We each have our busy ol life to live, but when we get the chance to get together, life is reaaaaaaaaaaallly great. The food was great and we'll definitely be back.
Hasta Luego for now. My mind is blank.

A REASON TO CHANGE?
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you HOOBASTANK "A Reason"
Alrighty peeps. It's a Monday evening. I'm tired from waking up @ 6:30 for work @ 7 am today. It's only 8:12 Pm and I'm ready to hit the hay... but not without first REALLLLY listening to a song recommendation courtesy of new acquaint./friend Spencer.... HOOBASTANK's "A REASON". If you don't know the song, I highly recommend you to go "find" it. By "find" it, I don't ENCOURAGE DL'ing it.... I REPEAT, I do not encourage! Anyways, great song as I finally take the time to actually listen to the lyrics. The lyrics struck a nerve ---- that is why I pasted a snipit of the lyrics @ the start of this entry. Ok. So tell me, are there really guys out there that can actually say they care to change, that they WANT to change... not for you..but for themselves? FAT CHANCE? WHEN PIGS FLY? WHEN SHAMU WALKS? WHEN FROGS EAT CAKE?
Nonetheless, A+ for effort to Hoobastank for writing such luscious lyrics...very sweet, endearing, touching. Honestly. Now if we ladies could get men to really admit that and change their hideously idiotic mannerisms, life would just be peachy. Not to say boys aren't great, but many boys aren't the sharpest tool in the shed. Comparable to rocks? A few eggs short of a dozen? Maybe it's the fact that they aren't "emotionally available" enough? Things to ponder.
Onto greener pastures, who has something to say about lack of good television on Monday nights? Monday nights haven't been good in years. I can't even name one show beyond Fear Factor. I am stumped. Tuesday night television is good though.... we have Rory and Loralai entertaining us on GILMORE GIRLS on the WB..bursting with funny quips...followed by ONE TRUE HILL...quality television it is not, but OTH is better than any Monday night tv. And anyways, Chad Michael Murray is quite the looker. But again, the nite to live for is SUNDAY's ALIAS. If you know me, you have either A.) been transformed into an ALIAS fanatic through my individual screenings of Alias Season 1: Pilot on DVD in my Entertainment "Living" Room featuring Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound ...and have since BORROWED my complete 2 Seasons on DVD as well as current Season 3 on videotape or B.) heard from me why this is quality programming. Oh, and of course, WED. nite Newlyweds and THURS. The Apprentice. And that concludes the tv I watch, BESIDES CNN and LA's Immature Lousy Carchase Show called "NEWS".
Ok, and anyone keeping up with the Taiwan Elections? Utter chaos. Corrupt govt. Recount. Protests. The President being the victim of an attempted assasination the day before the election therby gaining sympathy votes. WTF!?!?! is my reaction. Ok. Nothing more to say except, have a good day.

OK. Another REVIVAL. The Passion of Jess will now be debuting @ a website near you! Anyways, I have been "away" for awhile, forgetting to update good ol' blogger-----Anything Less, Wouldn't Be Jess. Now onto more important matters.
Since last posting in freakin SEPTEMBER, it is now borderline MARCH. Let's name off a few important benchmark time-passers.
1. ALIAS - we are already on Episode 14. Best show on earth, though season 3 has not been up to Season' 2 LEVEL of GREATEST SHOW ON TELEVISION!!!! Syd and Vaughn are finally expressing their feelings, and syd is kickin' ass in the SPY WORLD as she should...and MICHAEL VARTAN is again, the hottest breathing mammal EVER. haha.
2. GOIN TO TAIWAN--- this Sunday for two weeks. First BIG vacation in years. I'm surprised work let me take these many days off. Hopefully by the time I get back, I'll get..... we'll continue this THING Sat. evening, maybe I'll know the finalilites. Anyways, goin to the Motherland to see my Gramps, Grams, Cousins, Aunts, UNcles, nieces, etc. etc. Walk with Grams to the open market each morning, helping her cook, taking Gramps for walks, basically....being good grandchildren. And of course, being given the THIRD DEGREE by my youngest aunt, who REFUSES to believe that all of the Chen Girls, i.e. My two sisters and myself, don't have boyfriends. Should I be surprised that my aunt gives us the THIRD DEGREE about BF's? Maybe not, cuz sometimes I do wonder, why the hell don't we have a nice, sweet dish by our sides? And trust me, this is not me thinkin' we're ALLL THAT. We're just good decent looking people with good hearts and good personalities. What's the problem?!
In a nutshell, I can definitely expect EVERYONE to ask if either of us have BFs, so does anyone want to help me brainstorm believable reasons why that is? Then they will ask what we are doing with our lives. Then they will ask us when we are going to get married. Then they will tell us how crappy our Chinese has gotten. And maybe, they will decide to give me an arranged marriage and introduce me to a nice FOBBY boy. Blech.
3. NEW RESTAURANTS --- for you to try out. TOAST -$- on 3rd st. between La Cienega and Fairfax. GO for BRUNCH and LUNCH. What's good? EVERYTHING on their b-fast menu. B-fast quesadilla, the pasta, SHakshuka, 3 eggs special, and ALWAYS go for their side choice of FRUIT SALAD. It's sooo good - fresh berries, kiwi, mango, pineapple, melons. Best in town! Don't leave without trying their Banana Pudding with Nila Wafers. To die For! TIPS: ON weekends, arrive by 10 if you want a short wait. If arriving later, expect 20-35 min. wait. Salads and sandwiches are great too! Fast service!
JOE's -$$$- in Venice on Abbot Kinney. Try their Price Fix Specials, otherwise, great tuna tartare, foiegras, peach cheesecake thingy. Great ambience, definitely pricey, save for special occays. Make Rezzies. NAPA VALLEY GRILLE - $$- Westwood. great Lavender Duck, Grain Mustard Pork CHop, Seafood Risotto, and Lamb. Cute ambiance. BANDERA - $$- Wilshire and Barrington. omg. I just went here yesterday for the 6th, 7th time? YUM. Start of with their Bread Platter for a buck-fitty..or DEFINITELY go for their HOME SMOKED SALMON PLATTER for $13. SOOO GOOD. Toasted thin white bread with a generous serving of smoked salmon with a herb spread. Drinks: Nick got the bourbon, but that's NOT my cup of tea. Try the CInnabar red wine for $7. Generous glass. Onto the FOOD! The LEg of Lamb is delish, as well as their Beef Tenderloin and Spinach/CHicken Enchilada Platter with Escobece (southwestern vegetable salad with lime, cilantro and champagne vinagrette) and rice. HELLA GOOD. Their CHeeseburger is hella good too. For dessert... homemade oreo ice cream sandwiches. YUM. Drinks. Appetizer. Entree. ~ $30/person. Jazz piano/guiatar/bass group plays on most evenings.
OK. All this talk about food is making me hungry. DInner rezzies @ GYUKAKU - japanese-korean yakiniku bbq on PICO. It's great tooooo! Grill your own meat without leaving smelling like it!!!
Bon appetit! Live, love, eat.
"In life, go big, or go home."

Anyways, goin to the Motherland to see my Gramps, Grams, Cousins, Aunts, UNcles, nieces, etc. etc. Walk with Grams to the open market each morning, helping her cook, taking Gramps for walks, basically....being good grandchildren. And of course, being given the THIRD DEGREE by my youngest aunt, who REFUSES to believe that all of the Chen Girls, i.e. My two sisters and myself, don't have boyfriends. Should I be surprised that my aunt gives us the THIRD DEGREE about BF's? Maybe not, cuz sometimes I do wonder, why the hell don't we have a nice, sweet dish by our sides? And trust me, this is not me thinkin' we're ALLL THAT. We're just good decent looking people with good hearts and good personalities. What's the problem?!
In a nutshell, I can definitely expect EVERYONE to ask if either of us have BFs, so does anyone want to help me brainstorm believable reasons why that is? Then they will ask what we are doing with our lives. Then they will ask us when we are going to get married. Then they will tell us how crappy our Chinese has gotten. And maybe, they will decide to give me an arranged marriage and introduce me to a nice FOBBY boy. Blech.
3. NEW RESTAURANTS --- for you to try out. TOAST -$- on 3rd st. between La Cienega and Fairfax. GO for BRUNCH and LUNCH. What's good? EVERYTHING on their b-fast menu. B-fast quesadilla, the pasta, SHakshuka, 3 eggs special, and ALWAYS go for their side choice of FRUIT SALAD. It's sooo good - fresh berries, kiwi, mango, pineapple, melons. Best in town! Don't leave without trying their Banana Pudding with Nila Wafers. To die For! TIPS: ON weekends, arrive by 10 if you want a short wait. If arriving later, expect 20-35 min. wait. Salads and sandwiches are great too! Fast service!
JOE's -$$$- in Venice on Abbot Kinney. Try their Price Fix Specials, otherwise, great tuna tartare, foiegras, peach cheesecake thingy. Great ambience, definitely pricey, save for special occays. Make Rezzies. NAPA VALLEY GRILLE - $$- Westwood. great Lavender Duck, Grain Mustard Pork CHop, Seafood Risotto, and Lamb. Cute ambiance. BANDERA - $$- Wilshire and Barrington. omg. I just went here yesterday for the 6th, 7th time? YUM. Start of with their Bread Platter for a buck-fitty..or DEFINITELY go for their HOME SMOKED SALMON PLATTER for $13. SOOO GOOD. Toasted thin white bread with a generous serving of smoked salmon with a herb spread. Drinks: Nick got the bourbon, but that's NOT my cup of tea. Try the CInnabar red wine for $7. Generous glass. Onto the FOOD! The LEg of Lamb is delish, as well as their Beef Tenderloin and Spinach/CHicken Enchilada Platter with Escobece (southwestern vegetable salad with lime, cilantro and champagne vinagrette) and rice. HELLA GOOD. Their CHeeseburger is hella good too. For dessert... homemade oreo ice cream sandwiches. YUM. Drinks. Appetizer. Entree. ~ $30/person. Jazz piano/guiatar/bass group plays on most evenings.
OK. All this talk about food is making me hungry. DInner rezzies @ GYUKAKU - japanese-korean yakiniku bbq on PICO. It's great tooooo! Grill your own meat without leaving smelling like it!!!
Bon appetit! Live, love, eat.

Damn I've Been Gone For A While.
Ok. Here I go again. Another Jess Revival. Only hopes is that I check-in with blog more often from now on. Reason for lack of "bloggin'" in recent months is because nothing really BIG has actually happened. It's been rather hum-drum, uneventful, a life needing a jolt of sumpin' sumpin'. What that could be... I dunno. Just a good sign needs to be sent to me for me to feel like everything I'm doin' is going fruitfully according to some higher plan/agenda/work-in-progress, called, Jess' Glorious Life.
So, in a nutshell, I'll just B-line through some cool stuff of the past summer.
ABC PRIMETIME WEEKEND @ California Adventure
Who: Tin and I, and a buncha ALIAS FREAKS we don't know.
When: Beginning of Aug.
Where: Calif. Adventure
Why: To See the Stars of our favorite TV show, ALIAS. If you haven't been watching, there's no time like NOW. Season premiere, Sun. 9 pm. ABC. Stars i.e. Jennifer Garner, Michael Vartan. HOT HOT HOT.
What Happened: Cast did a Q&A with Fans, it was fantastic, then there was a parade.
Highlights: HIGHS: Seeing Garner and Vartan.. in PERSON.
LOWS: Riding California Screamin' --the only upsidedown ride, that was considerably weak, and becoming NAUSEOUS afterwards. Tin had to go to the First Aid Hut and get my Ibruprofen and water, and I was NOSH for 2 hours, I threw up, it was horrrrible. But I was all better by Q&A time. NOTE TO SELF and OTHERS: NO MORE ROLLER COASTER RIDES for JESS, NEVER INVITE ME TO GO, I WILL BE POOR COMPANY, I WILL MAKE YOUR DAY SHITTY. Thanks, Tin, for taking care of me. =) heheh.
PARTING NOTE: Garner is soo cute and great, VARTAN is SOOO HOT and awesome, ALIAS is the one show you aren't watching, but need to start. Season 1 is out on DVD, go get it, rent it, watch it. I've already converted my two sisters into BIG BIG Alias FANS!
ALIAS SEASON 1 DVD: It's great. Best commentary, great bonus features. And I ask again, WHY AREN'T You WATCHING?
COOKING: I LOVE TO COOK. I LOVE to COOK. I WANT COOKING APPLIANCES. If you ever want to get me a gift I will like, THINK KITCHEN, or think MOVIES, or think ALIAS.
JOB HUNT: STILL GOING. STILL GOING. Sending those resumes. Goin' to interviews. Waiting for callbacks. I can't stand places that don't call you back even if you don't get the job. I don't care if I didn't get the job, at least call and tell me, and lemme know what I can do to make myself a better sell. The right job will come around, so, DOOODE, just lemme know why I didn't get the job. No hard feelings, buddy.
NEW APT: It's great. So everyone come visit.
J.CREW: I'm a Client Specialist now, so if you'd like to be added to my Client Book, lemme know. =) Come to J.CREW @ the grove for SUPER CUSTOMER SERVICe. Clothes with a SMILE. Visit http://www.jcrew.com and see the newest stuff from our Fall collection.
I can't think of anything more at the moment. Get back to you later. Adios!

OK. WELCOME BACK, ME, AGAIN. PART DEUX.
Ok. I can't even remember if a lot of things have been happening recently. The most important issue I have been concerned about has been finding a job/career. Currently, I'm still a lovely J.CREW Associate which has been great cuz I love the people I work with and love customer service, and I think I might even have a knack @ retail somewhere down the line. Yes, you heard it here first. But I just got a call from 20th Century Fox Tv Publicity and I have an interview MOnday. Fingers crossed. I guess this entry will be made up of random thoughts and recounting memories of the past couple of weeks.
MELL's GOING AWAY *BOW CHICKA-BOW-WOW* POW WOW: consisting of LOTSA friends, deltas, boys, and alcohol. Dinner was @ Miyagi's and it was great seeing and yappin with everyone that came. Drinks flowed right from the get-go with Mell tippin back a nice, refreshing LONG ISLAND!! Those in attendence, Mell, Mao, Jen Ito, Vanessa, Annette. Jessica, Caroline, Everly, Angie, Angie's Bf Ryan without the B, Cindy and Cin's Bf Jamie, Master P "Matt", Merlo, Eric, Joe, Seung, and Jin, Lance and Frances, and I forgetting anyone?! Anyways, drinks flowed thanks to the generous boys who kindly offered us beverages, Caroline even hit on the Frenchie bartender in which she swapped her number for free drinks. Caroline, caroline, always knows how to take one for the team. FYI: Frenchie called her up a couple days later for a date. hahah. Miyagi's, surprisingly, plays great music videos. Alotta alternative rock, such as COldplay, Chevelle, Bush, NO Doubt, in which we decided to sing half the songs, and do cool 80's dance moves. Well me and Matt decided to Robot and Worm around in a pair, it was awesome. I'm VERY impressed that Matt, of all nerds and dorks, can DANCE!! He can actually punk-move. Talk about never judgin a book by its cover! (No offense Matt, love you, you know that!)
Anyways, we were there for a while, drinkin' sake bombs, tequila puffs, *unmentionable* named drinks, yeah. Nuff bout liquids. Next off it was DUBLINS, but DUBLINS does not have a dance floor anymore to our surprised so we left ASAP, but not before Caroline decided to get into a lil argument with one of the Dublin guys. ANyways, Matt decided to piss off the bouncers by wearing his "DORK" cap to the side and tellin the bouncers that the place sucked ass, so bouncers were like, "if he tries to come back in, don't let him."
After DUB's, it was off to SADDLEBAGS, i mean, SADDLE RANCH, aka SAUNA. TOo many people. Too little rooom. Crowd was crappy. And yeah, Too many people giving off too much sweat and heat, so needless to say, our entourage BOUNCED. NEXT STOP: The Standard on Sunset.
The Standard: was great, strongggg drinks, good lookin crowd, great ambiance. Yeah. Till Caroline decided to walk into the kitchen with a drink and chuck the glass on a table full of glasses and piss off the kitchen staff. But this is after she pee's on these steps cuz the line was too line for the b-room. Annette, thanks for watching out for her. Caroline seriously makes any outting, a MEMORABLE one. Time to roll out, as we head to... NAKWON in K-TOWN.
Drinking + Late Nite = Trip to K-town for Kalbi Tang. Short Rib Soup, for you white folk. SO we go, and drink our hangover healer. And the nite concludes. THanks for the memories. It was fun. Thanks to Matt for generously driving my car so we couldn't be sober.
SUNDAY: BRUNCH with THE GURLS @ PEDALS CAFE @ SHUTTERS @ THE BEACH HOTEL, Santa monica.
BEAUTIFUL PLACE, DAY, COMPANY, EVERYTHING! We sat on the patio, as this was an early Birfday Brunch for dear CINDY's 22nd BDAY. Which is today! SO everyone say HAPPY BDAY to cin! 7/10! This place is so pretty, and I'd recommend anyone to go have brunch here. We all tried something different almost, Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Raisin Brioche French Toast, Roasted Salmon with Garlicky Potatoes and Buttered Green Beans, Eggs Benedict, and Chicken CLub Sandwich. ALL were magnificent!! I was drooling at all the food, as Mell pointed out, I especially went into fulll DROOL mode when I saw and tasted The Chicken CLUB. SOOOOOOOO YUM. Anyways, Cin got some of her bday gifts, including the KETTLE she's been dying to get. It was great. Just Fabulous. Mell and Annette are moving upnorth this week, and it's damn sad I tell yall. The gurls are finally seperating and Jess is getting weepy. WAHHHH!!!!
As for other highlights of the week, COOKING has been a big deal.
Monday Lunch: Turkey Sandwiches on rustic french bread: ---> Sliced fresh French Bread from La Brea Bakery toasted in the oven, with a bit of dijon spread, warm deli-thin turkey and ham with a sprinkle of melted cheddar, sliced avocado, arugala and tomato.
Night: Seared Lime-Cilantro Steak on a bed of Lime-Drenched Spinach and Arugala with sweet corn , cherry tomatoes and avocado, drizzled with a Honey Peppercorn Dijon dressing. In addition, a lovely Pan-roasted Red Trout in a tomato and spinach reduction. "Dinner was amazing!" -- Nick Yay! Alb made some delish pasta as well!
Wed Lunch: Seared Steak Sandwich with Fresh Guacamole Spread on French Toast Bread. It was good. I won't go into details and you aint gonna hear any complaints for my customers (aka, my sisters)
Wed Dinner: Red Pepper Ground Turkey Penne Pasta with fresh mushrooms and caramalized onions in a tomato garlic basil sauce. "Your pasta was soooooo good, Jess." --Guest
OK. Today is also Kat's bday. So everyone wish her a happy 23rd bday too!!! We're having dinner @ CYNTHIA's, this restaurant on 3rd st. Apparently she, the owner, aka Cynthia, is kinda mean sometimes to guests, but everyone loves the food so they don't give a crap!! Supposedly her COBBLER is to DIE FOR. SO it should be a wonderful evening!
As for this weekend, the Chen Gurls are cruisin up north to celebrate Kat's 23rd Norcal STyle. Dinner @ THE HOUSE, The dynasty clubbin the night away, Tea with the family on Saturday, and if Wei can find someone on ebay to sell her John Mayer tickets for Sunday, that'll be what's going down. IN the meantime, I hope I haven't bored my fellow blog readers to death. I hope this was worth a second of your time today. Yeah. Life outside of work, is a blast. Have a great day!!!! See you sooooon!!!
