This past week Cinco de Mayo landed on Taco Tuesday so of course we had to celebrate with homemade tacos. These were honey chipotle chicken tacos with fajita vegetables topped with guacamole and other taco fixings.

Have you ever gone mead tasting?
Last weekend, my family and I went to Point Reyes for mead tasting at Heidrun Meadery. It was such a pretty place. The tasting room is inside a greenhouse with heat lamps overhead to keep you warm.
I’ve never had mead before so I was excited to try it at the meadery. So many people have been asking what mead is. Basically, mead is made of three ingredients: honey, yeast, and water. The different flavors of mead derives from the different honey used. Honey varies depending on the flowers that bees pollinate. Some are sweet while others are a little bit more herby and earthy. My favorite was the California Orange Blossom.

Last weekend I went to the first Norcal Night Market in the Bay Area. There was so much hype around the event and the line up looked soo good. But there were so many people at the night market it was impossible to move around. Lines for every vendor were about an hour long each just to order and then another 15-20 minutes wait for the food.
Oh wells. It wasn’t too bad for a first ever event in the Bay Area. Sadly, this isn’t the worst event I’ve been to. lol. On the bright side, I got to try spam musubi topped with Hot Cheetos crumbs. It’s not spicy enough for me, but it’s soo good.

I recently bought a bottle of Everything But the Bagel Sesame Seasoning from Trader Joe’s, and it is sooo good. I seriously want to add it to everything. Because who doesn’t want sea salt, onion, and garlic as a seasoning for all your food, right?

Can you believe it’s already September?!
So this weekend is my sister’s birthday. And Victoria wanted to go to Southern California to celebrate. Specifically, Universal Studios Hollywood and Harry Potter World. Tickets are so ridiculously expensive! But I haven’t been to Universal Studios in like forever, so it’ll be fun.
Since we’re really just there late Friday night to Sunday afternoon, and we’re spending all of Saturday at Universal Studios, we want to make the most of the trip.
Have you been to Universal Studios Hollywood? Any tips or recommendations for the area?
Last weekend, my sisters and I went to Eat Drink SF, a tasting event with over 35 restaurants present. It was soo much fun. I got to eat foods I probably would never have ordered on my own from restaurants that are too expensive for me to eat at on a regular basis. There were a lot wine tasting, cider tasting, beer tasting. And of course, all the freebies we got to take home!
Here’s a little peek at the event. I’ll share more photos later.

I can’t believe it’s almost a week since my little getaway trip to Sonoma County.
We visited St Francis Winery and Vineyards in Santa Rosa along with so many other places. But I loved that we were able to do a free self guided tour through St Francis Winery’s vineyards. I don’t drink a lot of alcohol so sometimes I just want to walk around, admire the architecture, and take in the scenery.
The view from the vineyard was just absolutely breathtaking and so peaceful. And all that lavender!
It was exactly what I needed to relax and to feel inspired again. But one day just didn’t feel like enough, and I’m already missing all that sunshine!
I’ll share all the places we visited in a later post, but you can see some of our photos on Instagram.
