Sunday Funday @BeerBelly_LA

Happy anniversary to Beer Belly!

Went twice today for 1. Kogi Truck for lunch and 2. Seoul Sausage truck for dinner.

In between we went to do Jim in Pasadena and stopped by my cousin’s work to look at golf bags.

Unfortunately we didn’t find a fitting golf bag.

Thanks to the beautiful Aviant, we get to enjoy each other’s company on a weekend!

Thank you for setting it up!

Brunch at Perch in DTLA with the girls.

I’ve been for dinner and the food was horrible but their brunch was amazing.

One of the best Bloody Mary’s I’ve ever had. I asked for it extra spicy and it WAS spicy! One of the best fancy Huevos Rancheros I’ve ever had as well. I cleaned my plate.

Date Night

After my final I drove down to LA to meet Bear for a quick bite before Star Trek. (I thought it was Star Wars).

We sat by the fountain with jazz music in the background and shared a burger and fries. Well, I had two bites because the patty was extremely salty.

As a replacement, I had two glasses of my favorite wine there.

Jo and her hubby came soon after and we all watched the movie.

I fell asleep soon after. It could’ve been my uninterested mind or my intoxicated self. Either or, I wasn’t into it.

I may have to watch the first one but lets see if that happens.

Melt Master With @ChefGreeny

I had the honor of being a part of Chef Eric Greenspan’s new webseries on the #Tasted Youtube channel. His new show #MeltMaster helps promote his new restaurant in the works.

The Chef is owner to the Foundry, which is in renovation and also to the chic restaurant at the Roof in the boutique hotel The Wilshire.

His show consists of creative grilled cheese sandwiches that he creates after visiting an eatery.

Of course my involvement means he was in my neck of the woods. KTOWN!

It was such a pleasure to work with his whole crew and seriously thankful for the opportunity to work in front of camera again. Especially with someone with such accomplishments.

Don’t forget to subscribe to the Tasted channel and follow Chef Greenspan on his adventures.

Taco Tuesday

In celebration of Taco Tuesday & Jo’s anniversary, we feasted on some Mexican eats and a bottle of white.

The place isn’t BYOB, but they’re not strict on allowing patrons to enjoy some alcohol as long as we’re discreet. And just for that, I love this place more!

Plastic cups and bottle opener was prepared.

Our eyes were definitely bigger than our tummies. Two for one taco Tuesday deal… we couldn’t pass up so we got one of each. Plus nachos and a shrimp taco. We had one and a half taco each. That’s all.

Close ups of food

Kansas : Day 1

Of course I didn’t go to the gym.

We woke up, watched TV and I decided to go back to sleep.

Wasn’t feeling any better this morning and couldn’t sleep because of my sore throat last night.

By the time everyone came home from their day, I woke up to get ready for lunch.

We went to a local sushi place, Kaiyo. To my surprise their fish was buttery and fresh. Who would’ve thought, great sashimi in Kansas. :D I don’t mean to sound ignorant but most people from big cities assume the same. As long as the town has money, they will have great fish. Even with no ocean near them. :P

We stopped by CVS after to get more meds and came back to the house to grab all the toys for the shooting range. :)

I’ve been looking forward to go shooting again after the last time in Riverside.

We shot A LOT today. I couldn’t hit the target as well as last time but nonetheless, still fun! It was in the high 40′s so it was cold. I wish I would’ve brought warmer clothes.

We came back to the house after and Bear’s mom made us a delicious meal. I had a beer. :P We talked, watched a movie, ate some more and now in bed.

Tomorrow we get to have some BBQ!

I’ve been eating a lot of chocolates. I should really stop before I get back home and realize I’ve gained 10 pounds.

See you tomorrow!

Quality Time

Dinner at Beer Belly of course. I’ve been craving steak so I had to get their mouthwatering steak and garlic truffle fries.

Go to Pigletventures for foodporn.

He got the grilled cheese and we both had drinks of course.

White for me and beer for him.

I’ve also been craving chocolate so we stopped by the market for some ice cream. (I had a cupcake left from our visit to Sprinkles on Friday).

Easter Sunday

Brunch was planned not assuming we’d be hungover so 10:30am was doable until I woke up feeling like shit.

We crawled outta bed and made it to brunch. But only I was able to eat since Bear got food poisoning from Ma’Kai last night. That place is horrible.

Food at Tortilla Republic was awesome, too bad I was so hungover.

Easter Saturday

Saturday was spent in Santa Monica with JOh, YC and Bear.

We met at Sonoma Wine Garden (my new favorite place) and had bottles of wine with some food.

But the party didn’t stop there.

I met Jo for drinks and dancing immediately after.

Took Uber to Beer Belly, met Jo, took Uber again to Vanguard.

We got attacked by some foam crap!

We were NOT having it! Lol

In celebration of Q’s retirement!

20130331-191353.jpg

And I met a fan.

Thanks for the photo!

20130331-191458.jpg

I stopped drinking earlier in the night. I couldn’t hang so I had Bear pick me up when I was ready.

20130331-191604.jpg

22!

My baby cousin celebrated his birthday at Cole’s, the French dip place.

I’ve never been so I was super excited.

I stopped by the mall to grab a gift and stopped by Susina for a cake.

20130318-171945.jpg

20130318-172008.jpg

Got to DTLA right on time for the festivities.

Can’t wait to go back and try the other meats.

Got the night off to celebrate a dear friend’s hubby’s bday!
:)

Bear joined as well and for the first time, I was less drunk than him!

I love spending time with this group of friends.

Dinner at Mochica, then bar hopping to Mas Malo, Library bar and last stop at Le Ka.
