Christmas Pawty 2008! Part II!
- Nearly one year later… look what I found! It’s a good thing Barry documented our first? really? official Christmas dinner (a very deep fried xmas, December 24th, 2008), cuz it’s all a red wine colored blur to me! But ah, witness the emotional roller coaster that is White Elephant. O the savagery!
- yeeah!

Yay! Looking forward to Christmas Extravaganza 2009!

Birthday Pizza at Bollini’s is the Best!
Omg Erin, you’re so funny. I didn’t see these expressions til I came home.
So I’m using this as my personal blog here, but I wanted to post the pics from the pizza place I love! Bollini’s Neapolitan Wood-fired pizza randomly situated in Monterey Park, not otherwise known for their wood-fired real Italian style pizza. The very thinnest crust, with a burnt edge, I love it. Totally reminds me of how pizza was in Italy all the time. Mangia, mangia.
Barry showed up after these pics. Good birthday pizza, thanks everyone! Oh and the corkage is free! Afterwards we went shoe-perusing at DSW where I made Jancy try on all sorts of trashy shoes 
DFT is Back From the Dead! And Bryan Cooks Dinner!
It looked just like this, I swear
So I felt like I better contribute something, and it was also my birthday coming up, so I finally cooked dinner! Sorry to be a moocher all this time guys!! I will have to come up with more recipies. :{ Well even for this it’s more like I picked the recipies and brought the ingredients and then Erin and everyone else helped cook them. Haha. Yay!
Jeudi dîner de soir { Thursday Night Dinner }(if the internet’s French is correct) consisted of my favorite, easiest oven dish ever!
“Poulet Provencal” — Chicken, herbes de provence, olive oil, lotsa sliced and minced garlic, kalamata olives, tomatoes, potatoes, throw it in the oven and it cooks itself. Juicy and fills the whole house with the mm mm goodness. Yummy to sop up the juices with a crusty bread. Erin made the dish even better by having Chef Barry brown the chicken pieces first in a frying pan to get them nice and crispy. Then she deglazed the pan with white wine to make even more yummy sauce. In all the pre-frying excitement I forgot that I was supposed to rub the chickens with the herbes mixture but we smooshed it all on and threw em in the oven pans chock full of tomatoes and onions and it came out great. I’m making myself hungry…
Side dish: Sauteed kale with cannellini beans, & garlic. I think we substituted red wine vinegar. People seemed to like it, it went fast!

I have to figure out how to post my phone pix and will add later. It was mm good.
So, in honor of all this, and me trying to return to DFTs more regularly, I’ve resurrected the blog! Hey, only 9 months since the last post! Welcome back everyone!

New Gelato Places in LA
“Gelato and ice cream: Suddenly they’re crazy good” Mm, yummy. Okay, so I haven’t been able to keep up with all the entries because you guys are too productive… but I thought this article would be appreciated, we must go try them ALL. 
I’ve gotten into gelato ever since having the most delicious well actually it was a sorbet – but blood orange sorbet – up in SF’s Ferry Building earlier this year.
Mmm mmm
the thought of it makes my mouth water, seriously. Links on the left side include a whole listing of places in L.A., including a new one in Altadena, yippee!
As an aside, I finally had Pinkberry with Albert the other day. Yes it was good and I definitely would go back again for that nice tartness, but besides that, I don’t know why crazed people in their black shiny monster hummers and SUVs were circling around the place just for icy frogurt.
