Ever since I tried my hand at dessert recipes (key lime, anyone?), I’ve been getting pretty adventurous in branching out to more delectably sweet things. Case in point, this past weekend, I successfully prepared cheesecake parfaits as part of a homemade fancy schmancy Mother’s Day Brunch. They appeared as elegant as the flowers, and tasted as …
Oh what a wonderful weekend I had! There’s truly nothing more fulfilling than seeing joy on your loved ones faces, especially upon the face of the person who brought you into the world. As I longwinded-ly wrote on Friday, I love my mom-she’s seriously the best mother ever. And so, as predicted, my last minute procrastination …
TGIF. It’s the weekend. We made it. Hurrah! Rejoice! Be glad! Ok, now that’s out of my system. With the weekend comes ample opportunity to get in the wind, be active and have some fun. Maybe your idea of fun is relaxing all day in your bed. Sounds good to me. Or maybe you’re more …
I happen to live in this fantastic metropolitan, called the Bay Area, and I’ve barely delved into the heart of the Bay. Being that this blog IS called thebayarean, I’m dedicating the next week to all things local and wonderful. There is so much here to explore, from great food to talented musicians to championship … Continue reading »
Ugh. The title to this article speaks to an entire chapter of my early 20s. I was the queen of the back and forth, particularly in one quasi-serious relationship. It always starts off so innocent and simple; you grow a relationship, planting seeds of trust and respect, it sprouts into mutual friendship, adoration, and then … Continue reading »
It’s been an exceptionally busy week. With all that’s been going on, I haven’t had much of a chance to concoct a plan for Mother’s Day. It’s just occurred to me that I better get a move on in the gift/celebration department, as Sunday is officially near. For me, holidays are a reason to celebrate … Continue reading »
Cinco de Mayo. The 5th of May. While there are serious and historical reasons for this Mexican holiday, it’s slowly become synonymous with margaritas, mariachis and tequila. It wasn’t my doing, I’m just pointing out trends. Me personally, I have fond memories of Cinco de Mayo, and there’s always a hysterical story that follows a … Continue reading »
I really didn’t want to go there. I truly didn’t want to feed into the saturated celebrity gossip circus. I become annoyed when I visit my favorite entertainment sites and they all cover the same stories. I stopped reading PerezHilton years ago because the already-silly content became borderline cruel and preposterous. I won’t pretend I’m … Continue reading »
Trust. Does this word make you quiver, recoil in disgust? Are you a skeptical cynic, never allowing anyone trust because of a harsh past? Does the idea of trust escape you completely? Is trust believable for relationships in this day and age? Here we are, in the days of Facebook, Facebook chat, Facebook direct message, Instagram, … Continue reading »
It’s been a loooong…..looong…temperamental week. Ok, it hasn’t been that bad, but I’m fresh off a dentist appointment (31 teeth left) and Friday is hardly as ceremonious because of it. Nevertheless, all of the pulling, yanking and plying are behind me, and so I’m putting my optimist hat on and saying Cheers! to the weekend. Hello, … Continue reading »
