Bows! I love bows :)
However on the right hand I didn't put any bows on and I think I kinda like it better.
What do you guys think?
I used Chanel Lilac Sky and Sephora by OPI Only Gold for Me
I swear Nordstrom Cafe makes the MOST bomb Salmon Caesar salads and their Parmesan Crostini's are seriously laced with crack.
Pancetta! Pork makes everything better :)
w/ baby scallops and peas :)
Over rice! It's yummy :) It tastes even better if you bake it with some cheese on top like a Japanese doria.. but I was so busy reading all of your blogs that I lost track of time (GUILTY ;).. and before I knew it the hubs was home and I didn't have time to bake it.. bahahahaha.
EDIT: If you guys have a question about the recipe please refer to the comments section of this post. I posted a little blurb there. Thanks :)
Eating the Valentine's Chocolate covered oreo's I got him :)
Dude Anthropologie has some super cute displays! It's a little tree trunk village... like for gnomes but smaller!
How freakin' cute is that?!
Napoleon's happy we're home :)
It's been storming really bad the last week in SF so to pass the time the hubs and I played Monopoly! The hubs calls me "The Shark", and whenever I start building hotels he starts to sing the theme song to Jaws and yells out "SHARK ATTACK" bahahaha.
Marinated overnight Carne Asada
Deep fried corn pattie w/ lettuce
Marinated Carne Asada goes on top
Sour cream/Salsa/Re fried bean mixture on top :) I swear it looks better then it tastes.. the hubs requests this dish once a week!
So I always try to make my life easier by making things that can translate into at least 2 different dishes in the same week. The same marinated steak I used in the taco salad I put in a spinach pasta.. and the marinated steak flavor permeates the entire pasta and the flavor is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Since it's a cream pasta I literally put in three bushels of spinach haha that's the only way I can get the hubs to eat veggies.
Does your fur baby do this too?? hahaha.

love your nails!
ReplyDeleteyummy photos! and i love the gold flakes on ur nails and the bows ^^
ReplyDeleteawh thanks you! im following bck ^^
ReplyDeleteYou're nails are really pretty - i love the bows. I am obsessed with bows! Yumm...those baby scallops with peas look so delish and creamy. Is there a recipe?
ReplyDeletehi guys!! i just want to address the whole recipe thing since a couple of you have asked..
ReplyDeletethe truth of the matter is i don't cook with recipes.. haha you could say i don't follow instructions very well.. which is also why i'm a terrible baker.. so i never bake... whereas cooking is left more up to your own personal interpretation.
most of my dishes follow the same base recipe.. and then i just build from there.. for example creamy pasta basically starts out as a typical fettucine alfredo.. just add butter and heavy cream/or milk depending on your preferance.. and cheese.. the dish flavor profile generally changes with different proteins (ie.. adding pancetta.. or steak).. and if it's a seafood dish.. i'll probably add in a some white wine.. also changing the type of cheese you add to the dish also will drastically change the flavor profile as well and then you add whatever veggies you want :)
so i just cook based on what i've picked up from watching food network for the last 10 odd years.. haha.. i hope this was helpful.. i did google a creamy scallop pasta recipe for you i would imagine results would be pretty similar
http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/creamy_scallop_pea_fettuccine.html
omg totally drooling over the food pics (i'm such a sucker for that sort of thing)
ReplyDeletealso i'm a monopoly shark as well! have you seen the hello kitty version? it's super cute
Absolutely LOVING your nails with the bows on them. The Nordstroms Cafe by me is now completely terrible.

Lisa, you are making me soooo hungry (and I just ate breakfast!). What lovely photos you took, I love this post!
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa - now following your blog! Love your manicure and I started feeing hungry just looking at all the food photos! Every time I have been in SF, I always visit the cafe in Nordstrom. They have amazing food there.
ReplyDeleteI was in a rush this morning and didn't eat breakfast .. let's say that once I read your post I had to eat! Omg pork and a creamy scallop mix?! Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI really love the nails, I tend to be unoriginal when it comes to my nail color. Mixing two colors is so unique and a mood brightener!
You had such a delish week! Loved the decorated nails, they are so pretty and feminine, keep the bows in both hands they are adorbs, love the Chanel pink lacquer!
ReplyDeletehttp://blog.cessoviedo.com
Waaah, your nails look so pretty! The Chanel nailpolish looks pretty, how opaque is it? I still need a basic pinky shimmer polish, but I want it to be semi-opaque. And all of the food, weh, trying to make me hungry ehh XD!
ReplyDeleteomg, so many delicious food pics that i'm drooling!! i love your nail polish and the gold glitter really adds something special. love it!
ReplyDeletecute and little
Wow! The nails look too cute! :) I loveee baby pink nails. The food pics all look too good!! I haven't tried Nordstrom Cafe's food before but I've been hearing so much good stuff recently. xD
ReplyDeleteOhh, I see, thanks for your reply ^^!
ReplyDeleteI think the Dior foundation is the best because, it has great coverage and it doesn't make my face orange looking, unlike most of the western foundations. Makes my skin look fair and radiant, without my skin looking sweaty -.- And your skin won't look shiny in pictures with flash :)! I'm using no 010 btw XD, which appears pretty dark, but it's very light. Also has FPS 20 SPF and line smoothing lifting. I think it's really lifting, becox after usage my face looks more plump (=younger looking) XD
Cute nails, they look like Easter eggs :)
ReplyDeleteprecious puppppyyy! Also, i love the nails, i like the bows!
ReplyDeleteI love the puppy.
ReplyDeleteI love your nails.
I love Chanel nail polish. (It's the best.)
I love food.
I want you to cook for me.

ReplyDelete1. your food looks delish !
ReplyDelete2. your doggie is super duper cute !!
3. i love your nails !!! =D
I love your nails! Well, I think with the bows, it's really cute, but without, it's more wearable and can match more outfits? So I guess now you get the best of both worlds hehe
ReplyDeleteThat picture of that little girl is cute. Kids are so fashionable these days ;)
I have too much to say so I'm going to bullet this :)
ReplyDelete-yes to the bows!
-yes to Nordstrom salads! I am addicted to their Chinese Chicken Salad
-OMG Monopoly! I went through a Monopoly phase where I made hubs play with me all the time just so I could buy out all his properties. hahaha
-all your food looks yum!
-yes, Macho (our boy dog) does this to my husband all the time!
Hey! We were at the Shabuway in Mountain View but I am originally from San Mateo! :P Small world!!! Love your blog!!!! <3

ReplyDeleteCheers.
I swear your pictures are just funny. Especially the very last one. LOL. Your dog has so much personality. BTW I wish I knew how to cook as much as you do. I need to get moving or like my mom would say "no asian man would want to marry you. :( I still gots me some time.... *crosses fingers*
ReplyDeleteYour nails look so cute. And the food looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteA perfect week my love! I adore your nail polish! I have the same gold sparkles from Sephora on my nails as well! However, I have them over Essie's Sew Psyched.
ReplyDeleteHugs xoxo
Hey Lisa! Thanks for the nice comment on my blog! Thanks for introducing yourself so that I could see your blog! I love what I see...Chanel nail polish, yummy food, AND Godiva!?! I feel at home! :p
ReplyDeleteExcellent nail polish job! I am looking at my bare nails in shame! :p
Never tried the salmon salad, but love the bread at Nordstrom cafe!
Love your photos Lisa... Napoleon is soo adorable! <3 the last photo. And you look like an amazing cook. Your hubby is a lucky man! :)

i love it!!! those are the nails i'm talking about! but seeing the whole thing is even better! all the foods look sooo yummy, babe! happy late monday! xoxo
ReplyDeleteAll the food here looks delish omg and Those nails are awesome
ReplyDeletelove your nails w/ the gold glitter. & you are an amazing cook. sorry i'm drooling all over your site. what time is dinner? ;)
ReplyDeletei really love the nails. the lilac color is pretty and the glitter and bows add a very cute touch. with or without bows, your nails are still cute. :)
ReplyDeletethe food looks very delicious. especially the one with the scallops. i read your comment regarding this dish you cooked and that's amazing how you don't really follow recipes, yet the dish looks very well executed and i am sure it's very yummy as well. :)
yeah, the elf 100 shadow palette experience was horrible. i was thinking of returning it too, but i couldn't find the return policy on my invoice. exchanging it would've been a good idea too. if not for another palette, maybe something else would've been alright. :)
Awww Napoleon is adorable!! And your pictures of food are making me drool (I had an unappetizing bowl of ramen for lunch =[)
ReplyDeleteI do prefer your mani without the bows too.. idk why because I'm a total bow lover hahaha
girl, you are cruel!! i am trying to eat healthier, and your photos are making it so hard!
ReplyDeletebtw, i really love photos of you guys. looks like you guys have so much fun together. reminds me of me and my hubby. too bad, my hubby is too shy to let me post him on my blog.
cheers,
yvonne

Lisa.. my furbaby totally does that. I don't like when she begs, but she's just too adorable to scold. lol.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, you week looked decadent. Look at all that yummy food! om nom nom. I wanted to go on food adventures with you... or maybe just come over to dinner one day.. ha ha.
I also like your nails. Super cute. I've always wanted to get Chanel nail polish, but I don't know if I want to spend $20+ on nail color. Maybe the nail polish fairy will bring me some one day. hehehe.
So.. I'm not sure if I've ever asked you, but your about me section says you "left your heart in Hawaii".. did you live here for sometime? or vacation? Come back and visit! We'll chill.
Wishing you a great week Lisa!!
xx Love & Aloha
Your dishes are really inspiring Lisa! I've started to cook more, and I'm going to definitely try to make your scallop dish! It looks so good!
ReplyDeletelisa! you should have a food blog, you are amazing!
ReplyDeletethe food looks sooo yummy!!!
ReplyDeleteYou look like a really good chef. The food looks so yummy! I feel so hungry looking at them even though I’m not hungry now. I really love scallops and they look so deliciously succulent.I very much prefer your version instead of being baked with cheese coz yours seems more healthy and chinese style. The meat thing looks interesting too. Definitely cafe or restaurant worthy. Your hubby is a lucky man! I love your nails with the bows and I love ribbons.
