Mashti Malone

I'm off to the 40th SCBWI Conference!  If you're going, be sure to find the Asian who's constantly eating.  

I'll leave you with some Saffron Rosewater ice cream from Mashti Malone, one of the many hipster haunts L.A. is plagued with offers.

Here I am with Karyn and her husband after a double date to Iris, the Cirque du Soleil show at the Kodak Theater (home of the Oscars).

48 Hour Dark Marathon is still going on!  I've completed 2 rounds already (that's 4 days of no personal-use internet) and I'll get one more round in before it ends next Monday.  You can still sign up!

Ladies Do Dessert

Krispy organized a little lady's night this weekend to celebrate (bemoan?) my moving away.  We dined on Taiwanese fare then moved to a popular Chinese dessert joint where we shared this deliciousness:

Sweet Almond and Black Rice hot dessert soup

And I discovered Krispy's sister's napkin stash:

Alz joined us at Krispy's house.  Though she'll never show her face online, I captured her signature rings a few weeks ago at our Borders date. (I thought that date went well, but she still refuses to be my boyfriend.  I'm trying to get her to knit a hipster cap for me as a consolation prize.  I'll buy the yarn!)
