I love Roy’s too!! try the butter fish next time and of course top it off with the chocolate souffle. There is a Roy’s near our house and sometimes we walk over there (its about 2 blocks away!) and totally indulge without the kids

I think multi-tasking for some things is fine, but when I was trying to multi-task and exercise, I realized that I was losing out. I was trying to make lists in my head, plan ahead, and in the end, my workouts were suffering. I think it’s important to put yourself in the moment for things like exercise, when you’re out with the hubby, or playing Candy Land with your daughter.

I tend to triple task too; I just make sure that I find a few moments somewhere each day for a little aimless time. I have been thinking about mindfulness a lot lately and have noticed that having a clear head for just a few minutes actually helps me be more focused and effective when I am making dinner/reading textbooks/calling my grandparents all at once five minutes later.

Lol – I love the last line of this post…words of a true mother! That edamamme sounds so good with that sweet and spicy topping. And that souflee looks luscious…the coffee was definitely a good idea!

I was watching some cooking show on the weekend and the lady actually said boiling it was the most humane way to kill a lobster. Im sorry, but I find that hard to believe.

I cant eat a lot of sweets either. But that started BEFORE I started eating less sugar. I figured it was a sign of me getting old. Everything tastes too sweet, and my purses keep getting bigger and bigger.

Love the pics! Glad that it was more or less a fun experience out. Yeah, downtown LA is such a weird place – sometimes hopping and cool and hip, but then a block away and it’s weirdly deserted…
Also, it’s so funny – my husband and I wanted to get a drink at the Roy’s in Pasadena on Saturday night. It was packed, even the bar, so we opted out. But I do want to go there again one of these days.

Looks like you and Ali had a great time
All the plates sounded amazing, it´s a pity you didn´t like your so much.
But, about the dessert…
You´re a winner! That flourless and gluten-free souffle was definetely to die for
Have a great week, Ameena!
Brazilian XOXO´s,
Gabriela

I love scallops, it is so terrible when they are overcooked But the plating sure looks pretty!

When I think of lobster all I can think of is the scene from “Julie & Julia”! I could never cook a lobster!
