What I Learned While Planning My Wedding
November 13, 2006
Let me start by saying, I had one kick a@# wedding! My husband and I blended cultures, music, food and almost 400 people. We set the bar culturally for a whole generation of our region’s inter-ethnic couples. It was the best of many worlds, and all the planning and attention to detail that went into it seemed to be appreciated, if not entirely understood.
I learned a lot during the planning process, both about myself and the people around me, but there are two realizations that have changed my outlook on life. The first is that, even though it’s scary, you have …
Chair massage
November 12, 2006
I have horribly stiff shoulders. My yoga studio had a little 10 min. chair massage going on today and my masseuse told me that the stiffness comes from all the way down my spine…
Is it because I’m always infront of the PC? Is it stress? (what stress?!) Or is it bad posture?! Humm…. in either case, I’m yearning for a full-body massage soon!!!

My Spiritual Calling
November 7, 2006
Yesterday, I made a very big decision that I would probably look back for years to come. I wanted to share this with you and hopefully it will inspire and give you all the courage to follow your heart. After all, life is way too short to contemplate on “what you want to do”. Go out there and go for it!
Chocolate Sushi!
November 6, 2006
Wow — how to combine two of my favorite things. This stuff looks EXACTLY like sushi, but is apparently crafted from fine chocolate. I may have to order one for “research” for a Wabi Sabi World article!

I’ve a new found love for Roast Chicken! In Japan, we hardly ever roast anything as a whole, but here, it’s pretty common, right? Not only is it tasty but it’s so easy and fun!
This year, we’re making our first real Thanksgiving dinner and I’m already SOO excited! My husband makes these unbelievable roast turkey with Picadillo stuffings (a slight Cuban twist) and I’m going to be in charge of the gravy, cranberry sauce, and apple pie! Can’t wait!

Take back the Kitchen!
November 1, 2006
Why do we think that cooking is some magical mystery? Why is making our own food suddenly something that’s an impossible dream? If you can navigate the Web you can make pan of muffins from scratch! Why do we settle for this horrible fake stuff they call food? Take back the Kitchen!!!
