Shortribs, potatoes and dduk (rice cakes). Savory, comforting and down right delicious. The oils bubbled on the sizzling hot stone platter throughout the entire meal.

Postcard from Japan: Kissaten Life

Postcard from Joshua Tree
I just got back from a four night/ five day trip to Joshua Tree and Los Angeles, for some much-needed R+R (or lack thereof). In Joshua Tree, Johnny and I enjoyed the stark landscape of rock, dust and sky — surrounded by those oddly grotesque, caterpillar-like trees. Fyi, there are many of these trees scattered all […]
