This picture comes to you with out cropping, filters, pre-meditation or anything else there is an app for. Just a moment captured as I drove down the street on the way to see Tom Petty. 

That is all.

LA Grand Central Market

A few weekends ago, Kiana and I made our way downtown to LA's Grand Central Market. 

The market consists of booths with authentic food from all over the world, just my kind of place.We arrived with empty stomachs and plenty of cash. After taking in the sights and sounds, we settled on Thai food (my all time favorite). We piled ourselves onto on of the little stools and enjoyed our curry while we discussed what was next on the menu.

The rest of our morning went something like this...

-coffee to go as we walked through downtown on our way to Bodega Louie's.

-a box each of the most beautiful macaroons ever from BL. 

-back to the market to buy a pizza to go.

-Cowgirl creamery cheese to go.

-staring at the ice cream place kicking ourselves that we didn't have room.

Fat and happy, 

Kate

Photo-Dump: Port Angeles

A few pictures from the Port Angeles wedding that took place back here. 

That town is one of the most photogenic I've ever visited, here are a few extra photos if you'd like to see. 

Enjoy!

LA Food Festival

The LA Food Festival is going on now through mid-December and is absolutely worth checking out. Each weekend there is a specific type of food featured and if one of them tickles your fancy, well then you must go!

A friend and I made it to Ramen week a few weeks back and despite the 90 degree heat and the fact that I unceremoniously dropped my sunglasses into my bowl, the ramen was phenomenal.

Coming up this weekend is an Asian themed night market. 

Get those chopsticks ready!

Foodie,

Journey to School

As many students across the world are starting school again this fall, I have been thinking a lot about the reasons behind schooling. What we as parents, individuals, societies and cultures hope to accomplish by sending the youngest members of our society to get educated. It fascinates me that the better part of the world agrees on this concept of schooling. One of the few things we seem to have in common. While the daily routine will undoubtably differ between countries and cultures, we all seem to have this innate need for education, and simply put I think that is pretty neat. 

I came across this article the other day that shows kids in various countries and the treks they make to school. The photos just melted my heart. As someone who believes in education equality, seeing people working so hard to make it to their classrooms made me smile, while the flip side of that was a hearty reminder of just how easy some of us have it.
