Planchette de Charcuterie (selection of artisan & housemade pâtés, terrines & wild boar salami) and a chilled green tomato soup @ Church & State Bistro in Los Angeles, CA

I fell in love with their fresh parsley water - the green drink on the side.

Fresh squeezed lemonade @ Garden Cafe at the Norton Simon in Pasadena, CA

Whenever I go home, I always make a trip to the Norton Simon. I love spending my afternoons in the Cali sunshine with a good book in a garden full of Rodin sculptures. Sounds pretentious, but it really is lovely!

My Viet Ritual Combo

Whenever I eat Vietnamese food, I always have to complement my entree with a three-colored drink (nab vam)!

Pho dac biet @ New Noodle City in Alhambra, CA

Time to get back to those NOM NOMS!

I apologize for the longer-than-expected hiatus. A lot has been going on since moving from Charlotte back to Boston. But along the way, I still kept track and documented my food adventures. Now, it’s time to get crackin’ in archiving these nom nom noms!

Ra-ta-tou-eeeeee!
