Freshly roasted marconas with sea salt. Don't eat them warm! They need to cool down before they get their crunch.

I arrive from my hiatus bearing gifts...from Porto's Bakery.

Morning cappuccino. Best part of my day.

Lunch.

Blueberry pancakes at Plum's yesterday.

Another duck sausage taco lunch. I really do dream of these things.

To accompany the mussel linguini, a staple around here.

Fennel sausage pizza at Pizzeria Mozza in West Hollywood. To die for. Really.

My family has had the exact same Christmas meal for generations. My great grandma's Daube (stew meat not shown) and frisée. It's my favorite meal on Oith. I finally got a table big enough to fit everyone, so I hosted this year.

My bijoux chopping parsley for me with my grandma's mezzaluna.

Duck sausage tacos at a new place in town. No words for how deelish these suckers were. Went back the next day for rounds 2 and 3.

The perfect snack. Sourd'oh and sweet buttah.

I apologize for the hiatus, folks. I came back with some clams!

Lunch...pablano pepper sandwiches with manchego cheese.

These had the perfect amount of salt, so I took a documentary photo.

Making this again tonight...

Pumpkin bisque. Silky goodness.
