The Commissary

cyeh December 10, 2014

I grabbed breakfast at the Commissary at The Line Hotel opened by Roy Choi. I love the green house idea, and how peaceful it made the restaurant feel. Definitely a great brunch spot with a group of friends! My tummy only had room for one dish unfortunately, and I chose the eggs benedict - which is now one of my favorites I've had so far! They used hash brown in replace of the english muffin, and sprinkled green onions on top. The dish tasted like a mix of Asian and Western fusion, which is very unlikely for such an American breakfast item.

I am definitely going back to try other dishes that many reviewers have been raving about. I personally like this over Pot - which was a little bit too spicy and salty for me..

DIY: Marble Background

cyeh December 4, 2014

what you need:

a wood board - Plywood Sheet-12"X12"X1/8"

marble contact paper - DC Fix 346-0306 Adhesive Film, Grey Marble

scissors - Sullivans Tailor Scissors, 8-Inch, Gold

Remove one side of the protector and stick the marble paper onto the wooden board.

Be sure to flatten the sheet and align the edges with the wooden board. Pull the bottom sheet slowly, while running your hand against the marble paper to smoothen and stick the paper onto the board.

Once the marble paper is covering the whole wood board, turn it around and cut the edges to fold down.

Wrap the marble paper over. I put tape on the back to make sure the corners would stay down.

Voila! You can even use this contact paper to cover pencils, table, and even walls!

SacTown

cyeh December 2, 2014

Took a quick weekend trip to Sacramento. The city is small, but very beautiful and full of little quirks. We had a very eventful three days sight seeing, attending a dance battle, and shot the behind the scenes of an open field photo shoot that I can't say much about until the photos are out. We spent most of our free time in Old Sac, where it really felt like we were in an old western movie scene with cowboys and tumble weed. I didn't prep myself well for the cold weather, and came down with something the last day. After multiple airborne drinks, claritin-D and nyquil I'm feeling much better now!

What to Bring to a Holiday Potluck: Prosciutto and Fig Crostini

cyeh November 25, 2014

With the holidays right around the corner, I thought I'd share a simple recipe that even those of you who use your oven as extra storage space (girl can never have enough room for her shoes!) can easily bring to a potluck.

The best part about it?

It looks so presentable, no one will have ever need to know that just the other day, you had to YouTube how to boil pasta.

Ingredients:

Baguette, Goat cheese, Fig jam, Arugula, Prosciutto

Recipe:

1. First slice the baguette.

I generally like to slice the baguette at a 45 degree angle to maximize the surface area.

*If you're feeling extra fancy, feel free to warm the baguette slices in the oven with a brush of olive oil and a dash of sea salt.

2. Spread goat cheese and fig jam onto the sliced baguette.

3. Layer a ribbon of proscuitto on top.

4. Followed by a leaf or two of arugula.

And voila - there you have it! Prosciutto, Fig, Arugula and Goat Cheese Crostini - perfect for fooling your friends into thinking you're a pulled together, domestic goddess of an adult.
