Scorpio Season Miso Ramen Kabocha Squash Soup

It’s perfectly fitting that Scorpio season begins right before Halloween and just before daylight saving time ends. Known as one of the witchier, more secretive, and deeply intuitive signs, Scorpio energy mirrors the shift in the season. The days grow shorter, the air turns crisp, and everything feels a little more mysterious. I’m a Scorpio…

Libra Season Apple Crumble

“Is it basic to love fall?” I asked my work bestie the other day. It’s funny that we live in a time where simply liking a season can land you in a labeled category – a whole “type” of person. Somewhere along the way, fall became pumpkin spice everything. I love that my sun sign…

Cancer Season Crab Rolls

The astrologers I follow have been talking about how Saturn is currently retrograde, and that we’re about to enter a Mercury retrograde cycle as well. So when they ask, “Do you not feel like doing anything lately?” it makes me think that my own overall feeling of blah might be my body and spirit responding…

Phnom Penh Noodle Shack

Hubs made another great food discovery in Long Beach. Knowing that the largest Cambodian community in the U.S. resides there, along with a sizable Lao population, he’s been wanting to explore the local spots and try dishes that are totally new to both of us. Cambodian and Laotian cuisines are mostly uncharted territory for us,…

Kato | Camelia Summer Series Tasting Menu

I usually plan a little weekend trip for my husband’s birthday, but this year we stayed local. Kato is doing a summer series where chef Jon Yao is teaming up with some of the best LA restaurants to create collaborative tasting menus over 10 weeks this season. For hubs’ birthday, I booked the Camelia tasting…

Peak Strawberry Season Sheet Cake

Right now is the time to buy fruit. Lots of it. This post is mostly a note to myself so I remember: every July, this is when fruit starts to get really good. Specifically, strawberries, blackberries, and Rainier cherries. I can vouch for all three because that’s what I picked up recently, and they’ve all…

Palm Springs Food Dump

I will never tire of Palm Springs. It’s a gem for art whenever there are new Desert X installations, and we always love to visit the Art Museum. This past weekend they had a Juneteenth screening, Racist Trees, and featured an exhibit of Howard Smith’s work. Outside of art, there are plenty of gorgeous desert…

Gemini Season Baked Brie with Apricots

Gemini season brings a sense of movement as we transition from spring into the height of summer. It’s a heady, mind-oriented sign – full of curiosity, self-expression, and a touch of restlessness. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself starting five books but only finishing one. As the days grow longer and warmer, people begin…
