triple espresso

Waffles for breakfast is a great way to wake up. I love mine loaded with fresh berries.


Blueberries. Strawberrries. Raspberries. Maple syrup.

Half of a waffle wasn't satisfying enough so I had another one. This time, sans blueberries and with a drizzle of chocolate syrup.


Such a great way to start the day!

When you work in an office for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, it's so important to go out and stretch out your legs... My walks consist of admiring nature, visiting the neighborhood pets, and snapping random pictures.


It looks like the flower is just exuding light from within... Amazing.


The colors are incredibly vibrant.

I'm the type of person that loves meetings... as long as the topic is interesting... or if there's a good spread of refreshments.

Flipping through a magazine during a meeting and came across this...


I can only wonder what the chocolate dome encases...

Driving by, the boyfriend and I decided to make a stop at Currywurst for some German hot dogs. It was unplanned, but certainly beats sitting in local traffic. I can't understand why the city decides to do major road work on a Friday during peak traffic time... but anyway...



The garlic fries with curry ketchup was amazing.

At night, my girlfriends and I grabbed gelato from a local place in the neighborhood.


Madagascar Chocolate. Salted Caramel. Stracciatella. Espresso Chip. 

Unintentionally, we all had a scoop of the Espresso Chip.

I loved today's 70 degrees weather... That is the perfect temperature for me. 


Be Cool shirt. Abercrombie shorts. Guess bracelet. Steve Madden booties.

I wasn't feeling too well though so I needed some Asian comfort food.


House steamed chicken with green onion in oil for dipping. 

So satisfying with a bowl of rice. I wish I knew how to make this for myself.


I also finally got to try some Iced Sea Salt Jasmine Green Tea from 85C Bakery, and I brought home a bag of fresh pastries to try. I can't wait to indulge...

grazie mille

A few days ago my girlfriends and I had a great time catching up at Bestia. The food was amazing... Everything is made in-house, from the 60 different forms of charcuterie, their sourdough Pain au Levain, pizza dough, fresh pastas, and desserts.

We started with a Salumi appetizer since their meats are house-cured; one of their specialties.


The large was perfect for 3. It was also served with pickled vegetables, mostarda, and grilled bread.

We also had their Mussels, which was cooked in their delicious housemade 'njuda, fennel seeds, preserved lemon, and more grilled bread.

I love pastas, so I was esctatic when my girlfriends were game for 2.


Spaghetti Rustichella: uni, garlic, fermented chili, and breadcrumbs.

My favorite dish of the night. Although I had expected to taste the uni more, the subtleness was quite delicious. I had the last lick of this plate :)


Cavatelli alla Norcina: ricotta dumplings, housemade pork sausage, black truffles, grana padano.

So good! LOVED the texture of the dumplings. Ahh.. I am so in love with pasta!

Of course we saved room to sample one their desserts. 


"Coffee & Donuts": spiced chesnut zeppole, simple whipped cream, coffee gelato.

This was good, but I had better "donuts."  I would probably try one of their tarts next time.
