Monica Lewinski


Guess who decided to eat at my job a couple days ago? yes Ms Monica Lewinski ha ha ha ha ha ha she's gotten fat in my opinion and she looks exactly the same. same hair same type clothes same everything except she's fatter. she was eating with some older man who I failed to recognize. LOL anyway so yeah... she's never gonna live it down... ha ha ha ha she's famous for sleeping with ex president clinton and that will never go away. I would have at least lost some weight, dyed my hair and cut it differently so that I wouldnt be as recognizable. LOL ha ha ha ha

Lady GaGa


Ok so Lady Gaga went to eat at my work and I freakin hate her... anyway she was having a birthday dinner with just her and some guy and she brought along 4 bodyguards... LAME. this girl is too full of herself.. before she exited the restaurant she took the time to look in the mirror and adjust her stupid costume she had a black leather jacket and a kind of snookie thing going with the hair with black leggings and heals... she did tone it down a LOT but ugh seriously... grow up lady gaga. She looked at me as she exited and I rolled my eyes at her ha ha ha ha ha but then I felt bad... then again she's a retard so she deserved it. who exits a dining room into a well lit kitchen (she had to enter through the kitchen to avoid paparazzi) wearing these ridiculously large super dark sunglasses? it was almost midnight for goodness sake and ur INSIDE A DIM LIT RESTAURANT!! DO YOU REALLY NEED THE SHADES??? ugh.. anyway everyone was way too excited to have her there and I felt me and a buddy were the only ones wishing she'd get the fuck outta there asap. she asked for crayons and something to color on like the stuff we offer to kids so we dug some crayons out and a paper with drawings on it that we use to give to rowdy kids to settle them down... seriously, grow up.

YUM BUTTER LETTUCE


As part of my lifestyle transformation, i have decided to take on the task of eating healthier (by that I mean lay off the sweets LOL) and exercise a lot more. So I decided to change how I shop for groceries. I have also started creating my own salads. this is my favorite salad so far. It's a butter lettuce salad with a lime and cumin dressing that I made myself and topped with sweet clementines a couple of pieces of grilled italian style sausage that's actually meatless.. LOL it's a vegetarian sausage. ok so I tossed all of that together and it was done... very very easy. I did the same thing today except I added baby carrots to my salad.

ok so here's my dressing recipe which isnt really a recipe cuz there arent any measurements I do it all by taste.

start with squeezing juice of 1 lime in a mixing bowl.

Add salt to taste.
Add pepper to taste.
Add ground cumin to taste.

Mix all ingredients with a whisk fast.
While mixing fast with one hand, drizzle in slowly some extra virgin olive oil until the
mixture becomes a little think and blends together nicely.

taste for seasoning and you can add more oil if you like of course while mixing fast.

if you have some dressing left over, I like to put it in a container and keep it in my refrigerator for when I am
starving and want something quick and filling, I just break out my lettuce, carrots, clementines and sometimes even other fruits and nuts and toss it all in a bowl and drizzle some of my dressing on it and viola!! its done!! trust me it's absolutely delicious!!! ok more posts to come.

you can use any type of lettuce by the way.

Fogo De Chao FINALLY!!


Finally went to Fogo De Chao!!!!! YaY!! so last night, after weeks of trying to get my sis to come with me to Fogo De Chao, she finally had a sitter for her kids and we went!! My mom was my special guest of course and I invited my sis to come along since they both eat meat and this place is like a brazilian steakhouse, I thought it would be boring with my mom sampling all the meats and me eating only salad. The salad bar was by far the best salad bar i've ever been to... LOTS to choose from. So here's my review..Fogo De Chao was WONDERFUL!!! my mom and sis loved the meats, I absolutely LOVED the salad bar. one trip and I was DONE. Oh if you go, and you are NOT a vegetarian, I suggest you dig right into the meat and not fill urself up with salad, try as many of the meats as you can and if there's room for salad later then hit the salad bar.
mom and sis had too much salad first but ended up trying five different meats... all delicious in their opinion... the leg of lamb was a bit too fatty though. but the wine was great! I chose a Malbec from Argentina... wonderful! $38 for the bottle. I recommend the Alamos Malbec.but that's just me... that's a very rich wine so if you like fruity light wines a malbec is not for u. OH we had the house white sangria with reisling... it was WONDERFUL had chuncks of fruit in it... had mango and strawberry and some other fruits... very festive and fun. For dessert, i had the creme de papaya. I dont like papaya but this was pretty good.
basically it was fresh papaya chunks blended with vanilla ice cream topped with Crème de cassiss (basically a black current liqueur specialty of Burgundy, France). it was lovely except the whole thing tasted more like vanilla than papayabut was still good and the cassis was a nice touch.oh everything in the salad bar is sooooo good, the artichokes and bell peppers are lovely. Nicely marinated and have an excellent hearty but clean flavor. Anyway the bill for the two meat eaters and one vegetarian, a half pitcher of white sangria, a bottle of Malbec, and one papaya dessert came out to $220.28. tip included was $278.28 for the three of us... It was my treat so not bad actually. Do give this place a shot if ur ever out in L.A. and bring ur appetite. Oh as for parking... it's Beverly hills so either pay valet or park on the street on 2 hour meter parking... we took the meter parking we didnt even have to pay LOL

Jennifer Love Hewitt


Ghost whisperer star Jennifer love hewitt decided to celebrate her birthday at my job a couple of weeks ago and I admit the decorations were sooo cool!! room full of balloons and three giant balloons so huge they looked like giant lollypops. very cute decorations... unfortunately I hate jennifer love hewitt too. She gets on my nerves and her cake seemed sooooo strange to me. They brought in their own cake which many ppl do but damn! LOL it was like a giant muffin or cupcake that someone half assed. For those of you abroad.. and by abroad i mean not in america and dont understand the term half-assed, this means done carelessly. So anyway her cake was small and ugly and half-assed looking and just so strange to me... was it a giant muffin looking thing or a giant cupcake? either way it was oversized muffin/cupcake but small for a birthday cake in my opinion... It read Happy Birthday Love... whatever... she still gets on my nerves lol.

Lady Gaga's parents


Ok so on valentines night, Lady Gaga's parents walked into the restaurant and had dinner... cute old couple I must admit even though I HATE Lady Gaga with a passion. anyway I made them a butterscotch budino and a keylime and blueberry torta.

my valentine



ok i know i am late on this valentine post but I am going to post it anyway. So valentines day i was working as usual and we gave out heart shaped sugar cookies... there were lots and lots of cookies but they were so cute! alright, the pretty box of chocolates was given to the pastry kitchen by... hmmm i forgot who... might have been a manager. anyway this person thought it would be funny to give us a pretty box of chocolates with one chocolate missing from the box. LOL was funny so for the picture i just took the top and covered the empty spot where the chocolate was missing. LOL. so cute though.
