and just like that…

the newsletter is back!

How are you? It’s been a while! Happy New Year! A lot has happened since we last spoke, most importantly, my mental health has been a lot better which is always a good thing!

Chris and I also took some trips that were very restorative. We went to Mexico at the end of summer, we hosted a very tiny thanksgiving at our place (me, him, his mom and sis), we went to Hawaii for a week before Christmas  and Yosemite for New Year.

We also celebrated our 1 year anniversary in Los Angeles - which snuck up on us! It went by so fast!

No super ambitious cooking projects have happened (outside of fun madness that was thanksgiving) but I have been thinking a lot about baking bread and making pizza. I got an Ooni oven for Christmas in 2019 and I haven’t used it yet - which is very unlike me. This new inspiration comes from getting the new cookbook from Dan Richer “The Joy of Pizza”. He’s the owner of Razza in New Jersey - which is one of the best pies I’ve ever had.

I would love to hear from you! What have you been up to? What are you cooking? What’s something good you’ve had lately?

If you ever find yourself in LA, stop by Laveta Cafe and get the mushroom porridge and a matcha latte! It’s so good!

If you’re in the Bay, please go check out Automat SF and try out their pastries - which are led by my friend Jordan!

If you find yourself in the North Shore of Oahu, try Elephant Thai - it’s soooooo good!

Speak to you next week!
