2015 Summer Playlist: HotSuds


Here's my Summer playlist. Excuse the smudge on the bottom. I went a little crazy with watercolors. For this playlist, I tried recreating Sarah Kim's work that I've seen on her instagram. Her calligraphy and watercolors are absolutely stunning. And here I am playing with a fountain pen and colors, not knowing what I'm doing.

Anyways, feel free to listen to the songs on my playlist. I hope you enjoy it (;


May Eats

There is no place like California, and there is nothing like the food here. Pretty much all throughout May, I've been eating anything and everything. Here's where I've been and my thoughts.


Matcha Swirl


featured: matcha swirl cookies
IM BACK, BACK AGAIN. BACK AT BAKING. Honestly it doesn't feel like summer in southern California, right now. It's been super rainy. Even though the weather has been kind of a bummer, i really wanted to try this matcha swirl cookie recipe, here. As you can see, the swirls on my cookies are not as prominent as the ones shown in the original recipe. I think it's because I used matcha latte powder instead of actual matcha. I did have to use a lot more matcha than listed in the recipe, but I think the cookies turned out pretty well despite the slight ingredient change. The cookies actually taste like matcha. Deliciousness!

Post-Freshmen Year

Featured: Charles River
So I finished freshmen year. Only left with a tiny scratch. No seriously, I tripped and fell before my last two finals. Now I have a lovely scab and a broken phone (le sigh). But that's okay because I'm back in CALIFORNIA now! Get ready for more posts. I probably have to learn how to cook this summer since I won't have a meal plan next year. So prepare yourself for more food posts.
