I completely forgot about this pinterest contest I entered a year ago! They just selected one winner per month, and the board I made for the Organized Wedding Shower of my dreams won!
I may not be getting married anytime soon, but at least I can fill the hole in my heart with $1,000 worth of merchandise from The Container Store.

Day ruined, part 2 (@ Churro Borough)
The last time Deane and I tried to eat Churro Borough, they sold out at the pop-up they were having at our beloved Ramekin (RIP!). Now that they’ve set up a brick and mortar at Ramekin’s old spot, they’re even more popular! Hopefully we’ll get to have churro ice cream sandwiches again before we’re on social security.

I’ll be the asshole eating donuts at the 12-mile mark (@ La Jolla Half Marathon)
So proud of my little marathon runner, Shi! Just one more till that triple crown…
I apologize to anyone who’s had the misfortune of traveling with me!
Countdown to Cabo:
- Flight and hotel booked ✓

Jon Favreau and Roy Choi hosted an El Jefe pop-up from one of my favorite movies tonight! Chef was everything, and so was this sandwich (and so was this soundtrack!).

Strawberry rhubarb empanadas in the making (or shall I say, mmmpanadas!).
Because when one of your friends has surgery after a career-ending fĂștbol injury, you bake them a little post-op pick-me-up!
These tasted like heaven… I still have to drive them down to San Diego this weekend, and I don’t know if they’re gonna make it, tbh.
Get the recipe HERE.
