It’s sad to admit, San Francisco does not have the best looking metro stations. They are simple, functional and in my opinion outdated. I guess that will change when the new T line is finished which will connect the AT&T Ball Bark, Union Square to Chinatown. Until then I am in awe over these beautiful Metro stations from around the world. See article here.
One of my favorite fall ensemble is an A-line dress paired with a cardigan (more for warmer days of course). I think I fell in love with the look in films with Meg Ryan at first perfectly dressing the part, and then Carrie Mulligan. The sad thing is that although I love the look, in my techy day-job it is more beneficial to dress in jean-casual than anything else. But once in a while, I do admire and click buy an outfit from here:
First glimpse of misty mornings, possible long overdue rain in the city, and I decided on Pasta for dinner tonight while commuting to work this early morning. I do love the time change though, because it makes my favorite part of the day, dawn, much more visible from the train-ride to downtown. Anyway, back to the recipe. With my family’s meditterean roots, we often use yogurt for cooking. Yes even in the winter months. So when I saw this recipe, I knew I had to try it, not once second-guessing how good the combination of ingredients would taste. So for dinner tonight we will have pasta with yogurt and caramelized onions, paired with a wonderful red of course. Happy Monday! {Source}

Once every two weeks, mostly on a cold or foggy day, I forego making the fancy dinners I conjure up nightly, for a huge bowl of simple salad and grilled cheese sandwiches-my weakness after pizza, and I just about devour it, loving the melted goo embedded into two slices of my favorite bread. For this I have included two recipes I kinda love from here:
You gotta love this as much as I do. The Marchesa Spring/Summer 2016 Collection: {see the rest here}
Naturally, being in charge of all company parties at my day job, I had to include a Halloween costume contest and lunch for the 200 plus wonderful techy individuals I work with every day. We have three prizes to give away this year for the “most creative” costume, and although I seldom dress up, I am really considering – can you guess which – between these two? {Check out the rest here}
I walked into a Hawaiian BBQ restaurant a week ago after shopping at Target, and ordered my usual Chicken Katsu, and the best macaroni salad I’ve had outside of Hawaii. What can I say, I felt the need to escape island style 🙂 I noticed a banner hanging to one side of the cash register, introducing Haupia, So I ordered a cup or two of the dessert to go. That evening, since it was scorching hot in San Francisco, I served the dessert while watching the sun set from my bedroom window – yes, island style. Anyway, I decided that I had to find a recipe to make the dessert at home, and recently found one here with pineapples to share. Just in case any of you are in the mood to escape ‘island style’ Aloha!!!
I have taken thousands of photographs in my lifetime. Most of them, as expected, while travelling. They are great photographs that I cherish, and often thumb through in albums, and on my computer to feel inspired or simply to reflect on events gone by. So you can imagine how much I appreciate travel photographs taken by others, especially those I was unable to snap with my camera, even though at the time I wondered how I can get up there and snap that photo. Here are some photos I can pretty much imagine the exact location where the photographer stood to snap these amazing pictures.
