Sandwiches never need to be bland or boring. There's just so many possibilities with different combinations! </div>

I came back from a swim this morning and craved a big, filling sandwich, but I hadn't eaten breakfast yet and I like starting my day off with eggs. So I got to rummaging and found red onion, eggs, dijon mustard, Rustic bread, and a very oddly shaped tomato (it looked like a baby red eggplant...should have taken a pic!). </div>

I like my bread toasty on the outside and soft on the inside...and spruced up. So i cut it in half, drizzled a bit of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, dried basil, and thinly sliced up one clove of garlic. Then I stuck that into the toaster oven to medium-high while I cooked my eggs and it was perfect.</div>

It was delicious! I ate it maybe a little too quickly...too hungry to take more photos. It would have been even BETTER if I had some avocado and maybe some spring mix lettuce.</div>

Cocktails: I got the 1988 and it was perfect! Grapefruit and lychee, refreshing and a pretty pink. The alcohol wasn't too strong and the drink itself wasn't too sweet. T got a mango mojito and after one sip, it was decidedly bad. Our server came by to ask how it was and kindly took it off our tab when T gave her honest answer.<br />
<br />
There were only a few food items on the menu with an entire page of cocktails! all $5 each</div>

My dear friend T and I are pescatarians so we basically ordered everything that did not have other meats on the menu.</div>

I actually found out about this place from <b><a href="http://wongfuproductions.com/" target="_blank">Wong Fu Productions</a></b>. Click [<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkPd-alWwmA&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">HERE</a>] for the youtube video. Everything always looks cuter and prettier in their videos and when they filmed at this cute cafe, I had to read the info to see where it was. Then I saw that it was in Rowland! Definitely bookmarked it.</div>

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">I came here to sit and read for a couple of hours on a weekday and it was pretty quiet except for lunch time. I didn't know it was CASH ONLY "for now" though and did not have enough cash on me. I asked the...presumably from her demeanor...owner if there was an ATM around and she just told me to order first if I'm really thirsty. I looked at the menu and everything was more than the $3 I had so I just said I would go get some cash first. She said not to worry about it, this will be <b><i>on the house</i></b> as my first treat!!! I felt bad though and insisted on giving her my $3 at least for tip and she took it, opened the cash register, and gave me back $2 saying, "you should keep cash on you". How sweet and amazing is that?!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Ambience</b>:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In adherence to their Parisian cafe theme, posh but funky French music sets the tone. I loved their little cobblestoned tables and grey minimalistic color scheme. It made for a cool place to sit and chat with a friend over some good (<i>illy</i>) coffee. As a plus, I am always impressed by a clean bathroom, and clean theirs was...with a cool spinning full length mirror cabinet. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What we ordered:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Yelp Check-in offer</i>: Free cookie. Since there was two of us, they gave us two cookies served on a bed of whipped cream and drizzled with chocolate syrup. Tasted like a butter cookie.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Breakfast Panini made crepe styl</i>e (all of their sandwiches can be made crepe style). This one came with eggs, spinach, feta cheese, and sundried tomatoes. The texture of the crepe was chewy and eggy...I liked it. But the overall flavor, I felt was overpowered by the feta.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall would come back for coffee and maybe a dessert crepe.</div>

Didn't think about that until I actually dined in the restaurants. Having dined at Pizzeria Mozza and Osteria Mozza in LA, I can say that they are consistent in quality.

Whoever says cooking for one is impossible has my envy because they must always be cooking for loved ones.

I have a habit (probably harbored from my <i>yelp</i>ing days) of snapping photos of all my food. I don't really know what to do with them but I suppose they make a nice lookbook for my 10 minute concoctions...Most with salmon...I'm probably going to get mercury poisoning or something!</div>

This will be the first time letting them out to explore this season :) The gloomy morning made me reach for the most comfy clean clothes hanging in my lovely walk-in closet. Just 6 more weeks with you! I was also in a rush to class though, so I forgot to accessorize. Although I did throw on this <i>Ferichi </i>watch before I ran out.<br />

I am eternally grateful to Steve Jobs<br />
<a name='more'></a>for the sleek/smart/simple reconstruction of the way the world runs. And happier still with such a pretty iPhone 4s for my daddy to give me as a surprise birthday present. Finally went home for the weekend to retrieve it. I'll be making good use of the amazing new camera and blogger app! and hopefully NOT get a crack in it like my last iPhone.<br />

It's still <i>fall</i> here in LA, but the chilly mornings make me wake up like a little girl on Christmas morning, giddy just from the anticipation of <i>winter</i> around the corner! There's just something so cozy about the winter weather, holidays, fashion, FOOD.<br />
<br />
Winter is my favorite season, hands down. I love the snow, love the fashion (scarves, layering, boots, coats), love being in a blanket burrito with a big mug of hot cocoa or tea! The fall-->winter holidays are the best because for me, it has always brought family together and family is always at the top of my list. And last but not least, fatties like me must LOVE the FOOD, right?<br />
<br />
One of the funnest fall/winter holiday foods for me is <b>Pumpkin Pie Spice</b>. I like to experiment so I'll keep updating this post with things to do with Pumpkin Pie Spice as we <i>FALL into WINTER</i>.<br />
<br />
LA weather is a tease with alternating HOT and cool days...so for the warm days, I came up with this <b><i>Banana Nut Pumpkin Pie Spice Protein Smoothie</i>. </b>Its got that cozy nostalgic association with pumpkin pie spice, but it's cool and refreshing after a good work out on a warm day.<br />

It's going to be a nice warm day out but the coffee house will be a little cooler so I chose a mix of short/long pieces. I'm such a fan of black|white pairings. I used to FORCE myself to pick colors when I go shopping but the only pieces I end up purchasing always happened to be black. white. or gray...<br />

I love where I'm living right now and the fact that the cutest little coffee shop (Profeta) is down the street. It was a nice surprise to walk in and be greeted by two really cute baristas! I'll contemplate being a creeper and asking them for a photo to share.</div>

Goodbye 21 and hello 22. My birthdays always prompt me to make an equivalent to a new years resolution. I'll admit that I have yet to follow through, but this year...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(let's see how long I can go)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My BDAY RESOLUTION for my 22nd year: <i>this time next year, I'm going to look back through these posts, heart filled with happiness, pride, satisfaction.</i><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
<u>Priorities</u><br />
Family<br />
Goals (academic, career)<br />
Friends<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">S2</span><br />
<br />
Here goes my year-long journey filled hopefully with smiles, love, amazing food, and style.<br />
<br /><i>
Cheers!</i><br />
