I LOVE this. -x-aarti

Sometimes we struggle to figure what we can do to make a difference. At least I do. I saw two articles today that inspired me. Both from the LA Times. 1) Chinese Samaritan Saves LivesI love this story. This unlikely hero has spent every weekend for the past four years patrolling the Nanjing bridge, looking [...]

As I have been telling y’all, our favorite place to get a burger is called “Father’s Office”. It’s a gastropub featuring a wide variety of beers, and it’s the place that introduced Bren to his favorite beer, “Terrible”. Despite the name, it actually is quite delicious. It’s made by the Canadian company, Unibroue. Anyway, we’ve [...]

Drumroll please! Bren’s favorite present ever is… THIS! Don’t judge a book by its cover. Turn to the first page!In case you can’t read it, it says “30 (or so) things we love about you!”. About a week before his birthday party, I asked 30 or so friends to email me a little blurb that [...]

Hey guys! Sorry I didn’t write last week — I was wicked busy getting together things for Bren’s birthday party on Saturday. I will post more later today (right now I have to drop Bren off at work) but, as a tease, I will be writing about:1- What Bren called his “best present ever”2- Father’s [...]

Sorry to have kept y’all waiting! The verdict is: awesome flavour, but the texture needs work. It could be that I overchurned it (since I’m using my friend Ross’ machine, I don’t have the manual), or it could be that since it’s made from buttermilk and not cream, there’s not enough fat to make it [...]

I started on this hat a long time ago, nearly finished it and then frogged it because it was entirely too big. But now it’s done! I present to you, my crocheted slouchy beret! The design is from interweave crochet. I loves it! I am also in the process of making a buttermilk/blood orange/caramelized banana [...]

Guys! He did it! Bren PASSED!!!! Wheeeeee! Bren is now a Level 3 Orange belt in Krav! Woohoo! Bren returned from his belt test Saturday at about 8p. The test started at 130p. Yup. That means Bren both had his butt kicked, and kicked someone else’s butt at 100% of his energy for between 6-7 [...]

Hey guys! It is a weird day here today, alternately gloomy and cold… then sunny and hot! Typical LA weather. Bren just left, and when he returns he’ll probably be close to death. Bren is going for his Level 3 orange belt today! As you may know, Bren practices Krav Maga. The last time he [...]

Hey y’all! For those of you who asked for a link (Andy!), here is where you can see Bren’s photos of the new Father’s Office. Hopefully it’ll be open in time for Bren’s THIRTIETH birthday on the 15th. Aghghghghgh! ALSO Bren has been writing a blog for the channel he works for, Ripe TV. I [...]
