Steak: Yummy. Camphone: Fail.
I wish my camera phone could have captured how kick ass my steak was. So the other night, I was like .. Should I go get take out chinese food or should I cook. I’m always in the mood for red meat so when I drove by Hop Woo and saw zero parking, I decided to head to the meat market by my apartment. I got a 16 oz NY strip for like 9 bucks. Such a win. I got some tomato bisque also to go along...

Maison Akira. It's really good....for DineLA...
[my fancy dessert pic via Abby @ PleasurePalate] The tripod went to Maison Akira last night. Yes driving to pasadena from west la on a week night. [sigh] Going to a semi fancy restaurant dressing like a bum. But …last night was the best night for us to knock out the dinela menu and their dinela menu looked tasty being that it was the only one that didn’t have ‘short ribs’, cheap fish, or...

I'm still fond of casual chic.
I never really liked to wear jewelry or any heavy accesories. No earrings. No rings. Nada. Always felt a bit drag queen-ish to me. I was cleaning my closet the other day and realize my clothes are so streamlined. White Ts, Black Ts, Occasional pop of color Ts - all in the same cut. A-line dresses, swingy skirts, and solid sweaters/cardigans. Ever since 7th grade, I honed my fashion sense and avoid...

Two news items that might make your day.
#1) Ok this one might not be funny to most of you but LOLz @ Solange [Beyonce’s sister that no one cares about] passed out on the floor at the airport. Can her life be any worse. Then again I personally don’t have a sister that I could live off of. Fail. FML.
#2) Megan Fox is single. Ba dow.

Soul Food + Mexican + Breakfast Joint = Love.
[exterior pic via yelp]
Apparently CJ’s lauds an extensive menu. After a failed attempt to go to the taco truck, my friends stopped into CJ’s to grab some food and bring some home for me. When I asked what was on the menu… the answer was everything. Burritos, tacos, breakfast, soul food, name your poison. Truth is, i’m a southern girl at heart. When given a choice,...

I love Lupe Fiasco. and that's kinda like a fact.
[via LA Times]
Lupe was at the KAWS show at Honor Fraser opening. Yes I am a fan girl. ZOMG. I mean, it’s like my two favorite things in one! I haven’t felt this great since they injected cheese into hot dogs. [zomg love btw].
LA Times is reporting that the KAWS opening was like a ‘mob scene’ similar to concert openings but never an art reception. The show brought on...

Case of the Mondays? Cure it with a steak.
[pic via my friend Eli G. of yelp]
To be honest, I would never pay full price here. If I had to pay full price, I’d complain that the water tasted like tap water, the wine pours are weak, and the decor is too dark. If I had to pay full price I’d say that the jalapeno mac and cheese was a bit undercooked and doesn’t have that cheesy consistency. I wouldn’t say anything...

First of all, there’s a recession going on. Why was this place so damn packed on a Wednesday night? We had six in our party and we didn’t have a reservation. No worries. We’ll just rough it in the bar area. Yes, it means I’ll be staring you down after you finish eating. Yes I’m preying on your table. Come on, do you really need to make conversation here? Go home....

OK I lied. Quick Rihanna + CB update.
Rihanna loves Chris according to her statement to Star Magazine:
“…..to the shock of many, the singer has stayed in touch with her battering beau — and her unhealthy devotion to him is making those close to the abused singer worried sick. “She keeps saying she wants to make sure that he’s okay,” a friend tells Star. “She thinks this will all just blow over...

So I have this thing that I have to attend tonight. Well, I don’t HAVE to but I don’t want to be a complete biatch and flake. But still… aside from my actual friends, it’s like a bunch of overweight, old losers getting drunk and complimenting each other’s ugly Ross clothing not to mention getting drunk is so 2005.
So in these times of emotional turmoil, I always...

Of all the CB/Rihanna rumors, I love this one.

OK. So we know Michelle Obama but it’s Jason Wu that has become a household name. Not only did he design Michelle’s gown for the inaugural ball but he designed her dress for the March cover of VOGUE. Exciting times. Also, Nordstrom will be selling his line so be ready ladies.

Reason #133 I hate PCs and LOLz @ DJ Khaled.
I’m sure by now all you LAers have heard or watched the ‘slow speed’ white bentley highway pursuit. After much speculation that it was Chris Brown and then DJ Khaled [who i mistakenly thought brian said.. DJ Collins. I was racking my brain like who the fuck is DJ Collins?!], it turned out to be some random pakistanian dude that just looked like him.
But not the point.
OK back...

so i was JUST informed that PUSH [see below] was directed by the director of one of my favorite movies, Lucky Number Slevin.

Paul McGuigan. Oh my.
Difference is - LNS was a highly stylized ‘ironic’ action movie. Much like Shoot ‘em up [clive owen] and the crappy Smokin’ Aces [Common, A.Keys].. Push tried to be deep and have a point which failed on all...

To recap the Chris + Rihanna drama.
1. “Rihanna and Chris reportedly left Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party late Saturday night in a silver rental Lamborghini. The couple allegedly had a fight while driving through L.A.’s Hancock Park neighborhood which turned violent.”
2. Both cancelled their Grammy performances under the initial guise of “car accident”
3. According to the LAPD’s press release,...

^ wasted talent in the most ridic movie of the year. Review to come.
UPDATE:
I cannot bother to rehash the plot because there is a lack of one. If you want a good overall plot summary, please check on this wiki entry. All I want to do is rant. Major plot holes and flaws.
Chris Evans. This man cannot carry a movie. He’s like a poor man’s Paul Walker and THAT’S already a stretch.

This took WAY longer than I thought although baking time was shorter. So I figured I’d make mac and cheese and burgers last night. Yes I know. It’s the fattiest thing you can think of and yes I ate it past 10PM. Anyway. I thought I’d share this recipe because it’s pretty good minus the chipotle component cuz Von’s didn’t have any so I bought chipotle ‘powder’. ...
