Thanks for Your Patience!

Hi Readers,

Thanks so much for your patience. For the past two days, my site was hacked and they managed to infect malware so that’s why your computer, laptop, and possibly iPhone/iPad/Droid devices are freaking out and panicking (so was I) that prevented you from proceeding. Everything should be fine now and business will continue [...]

Lady M Confections: Cakes, Macarons, and My Early Birthday Cake

At Lady M: Exterior and Interior, Beautiful vase of Hydrangeas, and Breakfast for Two

Though I have written about Lady M earlier this year, this patisserie will always be special to me in many ways and I will never get tired of their beautiful cakes.

I went there a few mornings [...]

Greek Lent Dinner

Recently I’ve been invited to a Greek benefit dinner at Molyvos, whose meal frames around the Greek Orthodox tradition of Lent. Knowing what Lent is, I am a skeptic. I’m an omnivore who loves her meat and dairy. Frankly, I don’t think I can go a day without any dairy since I need a splash [...]

Tweaking the Site Ever So Slightly

As some of you might notice a few days ago, I tweaked my regular site a bit (not the smartphone compatible one). Barely but it’s an improvement.

1. The obvious one is the color scheme; a dark gray to emphasize and/or frame my photos better.

2. I got rid of the excess search [...]

Thanksgiving Desserts & A Bit of Dinner

Around the beginning of November, my mom told me one morning that she wanted me to bake desserts for Thanksgiving. This wasn’t news to me since I’ve been baking desserts for my family over a decade. She requested a cheesecake (again, nothing new) and she wanted to indulge herself with a key lime pie. I [...]

I’m Back in NYC…Over A Week Ago

Hello readers! I’m back in NYC over a week ago. I would have written a short post indicating this fact but, uh, I was dying of jet lag. A 12-hour difference and boarding on a 16-hour flight (with insomnia effecting me) doesn’t help my sense of time when I got back home.

Anyhoo, during [...]

Preparing to Say “Au Revoir” to NYC

The time is finally arriving…

I’m going to Hong Kong and visit parts of southeast China this Tuesday, April 28th for the next two weeks. My bags are packed. My passport and visa is in my Alma bag that I’m taking with me (with my heavy 5D Mark II camera and lenses that weighs [...]

I’m Going On A Vacation!

As my title says, I’m going on a vacation! Not now, but I will be in late April to early May to Hong Kong and the southern part of China! WOOT! I’m finally leaving this continent. It’s been over half my life since I’ve been there. Reasons why I’m flying my butt half way across [...]

Coconut-Lemon Sablés

Sablé cookies

The weekend of my mom’s surgery (that’s two weeks ago), I baked her coconut-lemon sablé cookies. Why? She loves any and almost every coconut dessert or confection and I think cookies are a cinch to bake. I just chose sablés because she likes the crumbly, sandy texture of this rich [...]
