Red Pepper Aioli

1 jar of roasted red peppers
Mayo
Dijon Mustard
Garlic
Olive oil
Splash of lemon juice
Salt

Make sure the red peppers are as dry as possible. Put them into food processor and slowly add enough olive oil to get a thick paste. Combine mayo to get a light pink color. Add mustard for kick and I would say about 2 tablespoons of garlic. Adjust garlic to your liking. The salt is needed to open up the flavors and can be added as the peppers are being chopped. Remember to taste and adjust it to you palate. Dried red pepper flakes can be added if you like more heat. Make note of adjustments.

Fairy Tale of Today

I am obviously the princess. The part of the prince are in general can all be of the usual flavor...no surprise there. I keep saying I am trying to move on and find something new for my palate but I am epically failing. Maybe I should just accept it..I digress. It's the usual story. Boy meets girl. Boy and girl start shaking and moving...pretty much being that couple on the dance floor. And by that couple I mean the one that is providing entertainment for the whole venue. They are the ones you are judging partly you wish you could be as I don't give a "f" about what other people think; the other because you wonder how they can't control their hormones. After the show, boy and girl go their merry ways. They find a new partner the next weekend and everyone lives happily after.

You might read this and feel pity for yours truly. Maybe..all I can say is I am having fun and I get some stories out of it. I don't dislike myself at the end of the night and that's important. I do sometimes wonder if I will find someone that actually makes it into the AM and this where most would tell me I am looking for them in the wrong places and I need to be more open. I get it, I do. I think I will actually start but until Prince Charming comes along Prince of Tonight will suffice.

5 AM thoughts...

First of all, still why I am up at 5 am. It's kind of the ass crack of dawn...at least on a holiday. I also realized I haven't really written anything in awhile. The men portion of my adventures have been slow and steady. It all has been pretty typical...none that actually made it to the AM. I guess sometimes it is just better that way.

Roller Coaster

This roller coaster that I am on is making me quite queasy. There times where its a nice and calm and there are days where I feel like I am barely holding on. I want adventures but I think I am just getting tired or looking for it. If I was really honest with myself...maybe I am just trying to fill the hole with a temporary solution. I sometimes wonder when is enough enough. I know I say it everyday..its like I am crying out wolf and I am pretty sure no one believes me anymore. I am not sure I believe myself either. I need to find a permanent solution. I am not sure how much further I need to go before I really go for it.

SURPRISE!

So...I guess it's that time of the year where one reflects on everything. I honestly usually avoid this because it forces me to take a good look at things I put in a box and hide in my closet. Sometimes, however things find you whether you want them to or not....I know I have said this many times and I wonder when will I finally get it. Things may get hidden or you may forget about them but sooner or later you will have to face them. It hit me today while I was watching a movie, Bridesmaid. Who knew, life would just smack me with the facts. I think it was trying to get my attention but I kept ignoring the messages. It came loud and clear. I guess I sometimes just need the message to be transmitted to me by a bullhorn. I GET IT. I really do.

This Tuesday is my boards exam and I actually have a good feeling about it. I feel a lot more confident...there is a part of me that is thinking I am being too optimistic but I am trying to shut here up. I guess who needs that part of me when reality is more than happy to take that role. I am going to listen to the part that believes in happy endings and that dreams do come true.

The next chapter is going to start soon. I can feel it. I imagine someone reading the story of my life, they would be about done with this book and picking up the sequel. The sequel is going to be good. I am determined to making it happen. I am not saying there won't be mistakes...let's not kid myself. It is me after all but I am done with being treated like a spare tire. I am not going to apologize for my choices. I have this one shot and I am going to do it my way. So either jump in and hold on or move out of my way. I am not slowing down...I actually like the brakes are broken so HERE I COME!!!!!

SO...

Tonight was one of those nights where I will just look back and smile. I had a great meal with friends I haven't seen in forever and it was so much fun to catch up. I am on this "thing" that goes on to end of June and I can't wait until it's over. It was a nice break. I will be back on the wagon tomorrow. I just have to say the food was good and I love the company. There were definitely highlights to our meal and some not so high points but when you aim for the moon, no matter what you are among the stars. life really has a funny way of turning out. i am about to start the next big chapter and closing this one on tuesday. i feel good about it and maybe i shouldn't be so optimistic but i can't help it. for this moment, i am happy. reality will come soon enough but right now at this moment, i am happy. the future is so bright and i have so many options...it really is nice to not lead my life as a reaction to other people's choices. it's my turn and there's no looking back. I AM READY...no matter what world, bring it on!

Different Pot?

It feels like I am cooking the same dish over and over but just changing pots. They are stacking up in my sink and I am dreading to wash it. I wash one now and again but the pile is still high. I am not sure when I will roll up my sleeves, put on some gloves and get to it. I hope I do it before something foul starts to grow. Please note...this isn't literal. My sink is clean except a single Tupperware that was used to hold my strawberries today.

SIGH...

So I was supposed to take my boards yesterday but I decided that I should push it back a week. I have to say I think I made the right choice. I was in an absolute panic mode and most likely I would have passed but I think this is one time where I really should be safe than sorry. I am suppose to be studying right now but obviously I am not. A probably not so good decision but oh well. I need a break. My eyes are getting cross-eyed and I went to my favorite pasttime....looking at menus of different restaurants I want to eat at. I really need to find someone to finance this habit. I also need to come up with a way to try all these different things and not let it affect my waistline. Speaking of which...I can't wait until end of June. Hopefully, by then my food habits will be able to return to normal and I won't have to look but I could actually taste it. Three days have past...39 days left to go. Here is to being determined and not giving up. I am looking forward to the feast at the end...how about that for irony.

Hide and Seek

You would think I have learned this lesson by now but apparently I haven't. There are things that you think you can hide from but they will always find you one way or another. It's just a matter of time...maybe its best to deal with it when you first have to. Procrastination gives you the allusion of freedom but in reality it makes an anthill a mountain.

Some things are optional

When making or baking something, there are always the necessary ingredients that make the recipe work. Right now, I just need to study and study and work. Everything else is optional. I have less than a month before my whole life changes...or starts. Either way, I just need to study and work. The optional things will have a place once again on May 26th. Here's to not losing my sanity or causing permanent damage.

I Got a Feeling...

I am sitting in the park and before u think there is anything else...this is just one of those times where I am just relaxing at the park. It's absolutely beautiful and so relaxing. I don't think I have been this calm since...who knows when. Maybe back in September, don't get me wrong I have had plenty of good and calm days but today its different. I am just so relaxed and not really worrying about anything...maybe its cause I am hiding from my life in CA but whatever it is I will take it. I wish I could just bottle this feeling right now. It's simply nice.

Hump Day

Wednesdays are an awful day. It's right in the middle...close enough to the weekend to taste it but not so close you can be all that excited. There's enough days to have past by where you can't keep putting things off.
I am not sure if its the weather or me in general but Wednesdays just have been awful. I am just ADD and unbalanced. I am not sure how to fix it. It's like when I am cooking and I know I missed something and now I am trying to fix it but its not helping. Thursday seem to get better but we will see. I am just crossing every one of my fingers and toes and hoping for the best.

Success

This Friday, we had a potluck and I made a sushi bake with some additional ingredients to the recipe. It was a clean pan..yay success. And it was the first time I made it...and one of the first time I cooked seafood. I have to say I am quite proud of myself. I also made the peanut sauce noodles with veggies...not a hit. Oh well, you win some and you lose some. At least I know not to bring that dish to parties.

Then the next day, I made curry..another first. Friends said it was good and I have to say I agree. The only thing was it needed to be thicker. Still not bad for the first time.

Recently, I have been on this roller coaster. There are the highs and lows and I can't say it has been that fun. I think with the recent success of my dishes, I am on a high. I will just have to remember that when I am feeling low. There is a high like no other I get when my cooking makes people smile. I love that feeling that I was able to not only feed them but for them to say it was good. It's an addiction...a good one I would have to say. I am glad to say I have people around me to help me fuel that addiction.

Walks or Drives

I guess when I said I wished I could take a walk around the park that translated to the universe as to me driving around. I guess someone is watching out for me because a walk at night can be dangerous...either way the wish came true...in some form or another.

Box of Chocolates

If life is a box of chocolates, then I could really use the little card that tells me which one is what. Sometimes its nice to know what is coming instead of being surprised. I think I would settle for just some hints. I really need to stop picking the buttercreams. I want some with nuts please.

You Don't Forget Your First

So I still remember the first time I had Ikes. It was amazingness in a sandwich. It was heavenly and food-gasmic. I guess you just can't have a repeat of that first time. The sandwich today was good but nothing like I remember it. I still am a fan of Ikes but it just isn't the same.

Guess this goes for men, sometimes once is just enough. Maybe its better to remember the experience a certain way rather than having it wake you up like a ice cold shower.

Wishes Do Come True

Just a little a month ago, I came back from NOLA. Things to say the least were interesting...the consensus was that we needed to keep things low key. Ha, how we lie to ourselves...actually we did keep it low key for a couple weeks but soon after we were back to normal.

It was the night of my grad ceremony and that was definitely reason enough to celebrate plus the fact I survived through a family dinner. Note to everyone, buffets are good for large crowds. Anyways back to the story, we started off with whiskey and coke in....drumroll please, a tupperware bowl. We couldn't find a bottle and we wanted to save some money. The money we saved goes towards other things like yummy dinners. So whiskey and coke in tupperware was how we started off. Then came Hennessy...and all sorts of other stuff. I was kinda of a mess. Long story cut short, after a Muni and a cab later with broken earrings and a text that said "I will see you in the AM" I got my grad gift from the universe.

You would think it ended happily ever after. Apparently, I got scared and walked away. I guess you got to be very careful for what you wish for. Be specific...and if you are going out with me, you might want to have an extra set of keys so you don't have to take a cab ride early in the morning because we finally got a hold of each other and you finally had a way into the apt. Just saying...

I think this might be the best math equation ever....

Fun Boy + Fun Girl = Fun Times

And this is the reason why I was told that I should go hang out with a boy...this was after I was told he was an attractive male and he would give me a piece of himself.

NOLA

NOLA is the playground for adults. Vegas is fun but NOLA is definitely better. The booze is sooo much cheaper and the food. Granted, your arteries and doctor might not appreciate it but your tummy will be happy. I don't think I can live there because I would just become a waste of space but it is definitely a fun vacation.

Mardi Gras is most definitely a must and everyone should check it. The memories that get made are well...AMAZING.

I am suppose to be writing my papers that are due in less than 12 hours. But I have to write some of the NOLA memories down.

To start the trip, we were homeless and then found new friends and a home for the night. The rest of the trip included some much needed quality time at church and lots of dancing. I learned fried chicken is definitely even more amazing after a night of cardio . It's best eaten in the shower...fed by a super hot girl. Dancing is the second best way to burn calories...I will let you think of the first. Zebra may be my new favorite animal. There will be elaboration but reality calls...so come back for the rest later.

My name is....

My name is EC and I am a food addict. I find that I have my life revolve around food. I sometimes plan my day around meals and I am always on the hunt for the next meal. I like to read menus for fun.

Tacos and More

I don't like Mexican food. On the list of foods I ever crave for, its pretty much on the bottom is the list. I would say it is right above certain types of seafood and most vegetables. It is about 3 steps above bugs and innards. There is nothing wrong with it. My tastebuds just don't ever have a hankering for it.
However, with my recent discoveries of taco trucks that I have previously driven by. I have developed a craving for them. Carnitas tacos are amazing. The tender pork that just melts in your mouth with the kick of the onions and cilantro. Yummy.
Anyways, my tummy was demanding a taco. I found a truck...and of course I couldn't simply order my tacos. As I am leaving, a guy that was sitting in his car calls out to me.

Guy: Hey pretty lady. How are you doing?
Me: Thank you. Have a good night.
Guy: Can I talk to you quickly?
Me: Have a good night. (and I drove away)

I guess I know where I can go if I have a craving for tacos and I want to get a date or something resembling a date.

Pile on the Layers

If you have lived long enough in the Bay Area esp. in SF you learn to dress in layers. Apparently that rule applies even when you are going out with the girls.

Another claimed low key night turned not so low key...
It started at a what seemed pretty innocent Irish bar that had a dance floor. I mean its not like we haven't been to one of those. Mix in two boys that invited us to a roof top after party. There was no way we were going to say no. Throw in some angry neighbors and a yappy dog which meant no roof top party. Substitute it instead with some cheap light beer and a deck of cards. You will end up with a game of strip Big 2 (card game) and downing of cheap beer. If all goes well, the girls would win and the boys would try with all their might to take off clothing while girls insisted on them keeping it on. Hence layers can be a good thing because you never know when it will come in handy.

Note: The morning after was not so pretty, this recipe usually results in possible headaches and a pretty messy kitchen.

I love Trees.

So before my love of walks in parks, I had a thing for trees. Don't laugh. I don't hate all things green. Really don't laugh.

I guess if there was one event that sparked my course on these adventures, it would be this one. Everyone should put on their imagination hats right about now.

People + Car with leather seats = You can fill in the blanks. Let's add to the mix an alleyway full of trees. See I don't mind being surrounded by trees in this case, it was a nice addition to the atmosphere. All that was missing was some soft soothing music.

Twitchy Face

I know I am pretty much have an one way ticket to hell for writing this one, but it is really hard to concentrate on someone when they are having facial spasms the whole time. I understand it is hard to deal with and I am lucky that I don't have to do it but going on a date with a guy who does it kinda freaks a girl out.

Let's rewind a couple years to when I thought it was a good idea to meet a guy that messaged me on Facebook. (There is so many things wrong with that sentence alone...) Anyways, I never did say I was the smartest cookie in the jar. If I was a cookie, I would be the misshapen one that is kinda of crunchy but still a really yummy cookie. I digress. Let's mix one part boredom with one part curiosity and you get a semi-quasi awkward meet-up. It doesn't even count as date...cause a date there would have been any kind of activities. Keep your minds clean, please.

Back to the story, boy messaged me on FB and for some reason I thought it was a good idea to exchange numbers. OY VEY. After several texts, I agreed to meet up with him. It gets better...first red flag would probably be he claims to be around the area we both live in and still calls me to see where he should park in the shopping center. Okay, I guess he could have wanted to know so we can park close to another. Thank God, we didn't. Some things do work themselves out. Next red flag would be he wanted to meet in front of the CLOSED dental office. Give me credit here, I said no and that we should meet at Jamaba Juice. So you would think, maybe an appropriate activity would to be get a Jamba Juice and sit and chat. Or get a Jamba Juice and walk around. I was wrong. We walked in and both decided that we didn't really want one. SO...you would think then let's walk around and chat. NOPE...he preferred to stand outside of Jamba Juice and chat. We didn't sit down....we stood there for so long that we saw groups of high school students enter and leave. Then we were still there even after the JJ wokers closed the store and took the chairs in, not it mattered much because we just stood there. I honestly wish I had recorded the conversation...all I can remember is that he had told me that men have more gray matter in their brain so that is why they are better than women. NOTE TO MEN EVERYWHERE: It's probably not a good idea to tell that to a girl you just met. Just a thought. He tried to make it up to me by giving me a hug. Imagine me now, standing with my arms crossed and I told him not to touch me. I might have been a little harsh but apparently he was clueless to it. We continued to stand and chat about something. Obviously, he was stimulating...The night finally came to a close. I think I told him he didn't need to walk me to my car because I had to call my grandma...at 11 at night.

And during the whole time, his face would just spasm. I didn't point it out but I think it might have been due to sports related injury..which would also explain for his judgement. Or maybe he is just that stupid. Let's just say wearing a NYFD t-shirt is not necessary the best clothing option to meet a girl that you are interested in. Let's try a little harder.

New flavors

So it has been brought to my attention that I have been fishing in a goldfish tank, and not the nice huge ones. People are telling me its the one fish tank with a plant. I guess there is no harm in trying out something new. I mean I thought I didn't like brussel sprouts and I had brussel sprout salad the other day and I actually liked it. Who knows I might actually start liking veggies more than meat. I wouldn't hold your breath. But I might not completely gag at them.

Full Moon

It was a nice night, not too cold and you can see the stars and the moon but it wasn't full. I thought the full moon happened only once a month. Apparently, I was wrong. To set it up: We are at a rather nice restaurant for a Yelp event. Munching on Vietnamese food where we met some men. I say men because they were definitely older, not your typical mid 20 something year old that can still get away with being stupid. They know better or so I thought. Fast forward to a drink and small chat later. One of the men thought the way to my heart....or pants was to drop his pants and show me his butt. FULL MOON. Let's just say I was not impressed...and he was a fireman (so kinda sad for him). He actually asked me if I liked it. The cherry on top was that he was shocked that I didn't. He tried to give me the puppy dog eyes but there are not big enough eyes that could save him. The only good thing that came out of the night was a story and a Target shopping trip

I may change names but if you recognize a story and don't want people to know about it, don't tell anyone. I promise I won't tell anyone your real name.

Me: I am totally worth at least 2 camels and possibly a goat.

A: Yes, yes you are.

I know everyone has heard the saying: what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. I am pretty sure Kanye sang about it too. SO, I totally agree with that but what many people if not most won't tell you or forget to tell you is that true it may not kill you but it might just make you look like hell. wrinkles + bags under your eyes = your age + 20 years. So I guess I will be now on the hunt for anti-aging cream. GREAT.

I have fallen and I can't get up. I think I am in a rut. It is 10 kinds of awful. It isn't where everything is falling apart and don't get me wrong, I am glad it isn't. I am just stuck. It's all the little things and the addition of it all just makes a big pot of a messy stew. I want out. I know it happens, I just need to find a big bandage and fix it.

What doesn't kill you....

They say what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. They forgot the part as it is hurting that you wish it would just be done. They always leave out the middle part: the part that you have to face, hoping the end of the tunnel will be here soon. I guess the middle part is where all the growing and learning about yourself comes into play. I think however some things I can learn from observation. I don't need to experience myself...like food poisoning.

food-gasm and the all the alikes...

I am pretty sure by now, it is clear I like food. I think I do more research on what to eat for lunch than for my classses. My exam score today reflect that; that is a whole other story. I have to say there have been very few meals where I have achieved food-gasm. I know this may qualify as TMI but oh well. I can count on one hand how many times it has happened...this also applies to men. I guess I just need to find better sources of both. I guess I will just have to continue on and hopefully not lose my mind before I do. I guess at least it's not a total loss on the hunt for it, there are stories that usually end up being filed in my collection.

a walk in the park

If you have ever met me, you can quickly come to the conclusion; I am not a fan of nature. However, one of my adventures with a boy led me to see nature in a whole new light.
Imagine a beautiful day, so naturally I would agree to go on a walk. You think its a harmless activity. Oh how wrong can I be. A walk along the trail led to a big tree off the trail. Next you know, I am knee deep in nature and among other things. I would recommend you use your imagination at this point. All I know is I discover a new fondness for trees and sunny days.

Ok, if you are like every other person you would be saying huh right about now. I honestly have no idea where he was going with this. I have to say at least he was nice and he apologized.

shanghai dumpling king

I would say kinda of a disappointment. The servers were nice and it definitely was a hole in the wall kind of place. That's not was disappointing, the food was just alright. I definitely had better. Maybe its cause I have been eating this most of my life but there just wasn't anything extraordinary about it. The reviews just made it seem amazing. I do have to say the soup dumplings were as greasy as usual. I want to like it but I just don't.

Why did I think this was a.good idea? Maybe I need to realize I can't do it all. Kinda of a sad realization...slowly learning how important sleep is.

Enough is Enough

i like everyone else likes to procrastinate...maybe because i can and i haven't had to suffer any consequences or maybe because i am that lazy. that's going to change. today is a new day. i know i sound like a hallmark card but it is true. i am committing to this. i will blog. there are just too many stories and since i don't want to be forgotten, i am going to share and put it all out there.

starting with tonight, r and i were at the college town close to us. we were having dinner with some other gfs. good conversation with decent food equals a good night. like usual, my eyes were bigger than my stomach and i ate a bit too much. s and i decided to take a walk. i think our walks are our ways to say our thoughts out loud...i have to admit; they are not always the nicest but they are our thoughts. here are some:

first, a little goes a long way. why is it some people feel the need to bathe themselves in cologne so that everyone within a 5o0 feet radius can smell them. a drop on each wrist and behind each ear is plenty. that is all i am saying.

before i start my next thought, i am fully aware of what i look like and some may say i have no place to comment on other people's looks. i can accept that but i will still have two cents and put it out there.

next, the smelly man had a friend with him. oy vey...if i look like that ever, i don't know. all i have to say mirrors and a honest friend are priceless. again, a little goes a long way. just take that quick peek before you leave the house. ask that friend what they truly thinks...that extra second is a good investment.

third, the commitment to this blog. maybe it's cause i am past my mid-20s and i am feeling my age or maybe it's cause i am so tired of talking and never doing. no matter the reason, i am committed to it. i feel like i might earn some enemies by the end but oh well, i can't please everyone. i might as do what i want without causing too much of a ruckus.

r and i decided if so many other people can be successful at sharing their thoughts and opinions why can't we? we knew we were in the middle of the spectrum when it comes to smart, we aren't dumb but we aren't geniuses either. so we might as well be shiny stars among the less intelligent people and it's easier. let's not lie, as much as we want things, we want it the easy way.

so here goes nothing...end of thought.

revelation 1

maybe this isn't a complete revelation...there is a correlation between what and how i eat and the way i live my life...i have to try all 31 flavors even though i am lactose intolerant.
