– I got some great news Friday: I secured two steady freelance gigs — one in writing, the other in social media/marketing, both workable from home! Goodbye, funemployment; hello, real world. We celebrated at d bar with an indulgent chocolate cake that was paired with a vanilla milkshake. The presentation was just as awesome as the chocolate deliciousness. And they don’t mess around with their chocolate. Hello, cavities!
– They say rain is so infrequent in Southern California that, if it drizzles, people look up and wonder what the liquid is coming out of the sky. Yet somehow, it rained this weekend. Considering it was also in the 30’s when we first moved here, it’s safe to say we ushered in all the atypical weather.
– In an effort to combat cabin fever, we joined a friend for dinner at Amarin Thai Saturday night. I was really impressed with the flavors, and even more impressed that they nailed the larb, one of our favorite foods from SE Asia. It’s a dish of minced chicken, beef, pork or tofu tossed with cilantro, lime, mint and red onion.
– Breads, like these, are my favorite thing to bake. They’re easy, always tasty and feed a lot of people. It was pure joy to bake without the problems I had in NYC (an oven that turns off intermittently or burns whatever’s inside).
What exciting (and unexciting) things did you get up to this weekend?
Hi, I just stumbled upon your blog today and after watching this video, I realized that you live in the same building I used to live! Haha. I used to live across the way in #7. I’m over in University Heights now, right off Adams. Welcome to San Diego! Enjoy the neighborhood and everything that this little urban oasis of San Diego has to offer :)
Oh my gosh! Such a small world. Glad you found the blog, and very jealous of your new location! I love Adams/ University Heights, as evidenced by today’s post :)
