Last weekend, my friend since high school got married, and I was her maid of honor. Her wedding took place at the San Francisco Zoo. While it was stressful trying to stay on schedule, it was such a fun experience, especially for the guests since they got to interact with the animals. And I still can’t over the fact that I got to feed giraffes! Okay, maybe it was just one giraffe, but still!
I’m sharing some photos below from last weekend.

Happy Wednesday!
I am beyond exhausted from all the activities from the last few days. I was fine while I was super busy, but now that it’s all over with, I’m completely exhausted. Do you ever feel that way too?
All I want to do is kick back in a pair of super comfy lounge pants, sip hot tea, and either catch up on my shows or get invested in a good book. Luckily, we’re halfway through the week, and that means I’m one step closer to the weekend so I can finally relax.
In the mean time, I’m leaving you with this earl grey rice pudding to indulge in and get you through the rest of the week. Because I’m always ready for a midweek pick me up.

These last few days have been all about my friend’s wedding at the San Francisco Zoo. Since I was part of the bridal party, we went to get pampered the day before, then had to wake up early to get ready for her big day. It was sooo much fun. Cocktail hour included riding the carousel, feeding alpacas, petting possums and hedgehogs. And oh my gosh, I got to feed a giraffe! How often do we get to say that we get to do these things at a wedding?
Last weekend, my sister and I got to go see Hamilton at the Orpheum Theater. Remember how I mentioned that we entered the lottery through the Hamilton app? We won two $10 tickets to the show. And guess what? We ended up with front row center seats.
If you haven’t seen the show yet, I highly recommend it. It was soo amazing. The storyline was interesting and the songs were soo good. But most of you probably already know that from listening to the soundtrack. And definitely enter the lottery for a chance to win super cheap tickets. Go now!

Soo…. you guys know that musical everyone’s been talking about: Hamilton? Well, this is a PSA in case you didn’t know, but…. If you want to see Hamilton, and it’s playing in your city, I highly recommend downloading the Hamilton app and entering the lottery daily. You can win up to two $10 tickets to see the musical. It’s really really possible. My cousin won a pair a few weeks ago for the New Orleans show. And we just got a pair of tickets for San Francisco. <3
But let’s talk about this spicy furikake chex mix.
Spring is here, and every once in awhile it actually feels like it. You know, in between the grey clouds and the rain. I was having brunch with a friend at Santana Row, a high end shopping area in San Jose, to catch up and to celebrate my birthday late. The cherry blossoms are finally blooming, and it’s so nice to sit outside on the patio to take in all the sight.
Green curry filled with shrimp, broccoli, carrots, and eggplant served over soba noodles. This shrimp coconut green curry soba noodle bowl is the perfect weeknight dinner.
Have I ever mentioned that Thai food is a staple in our house? My sisters and I grew up eating a combination of Chinese, Vietnamese, and Thai food. Asian foods are always so flavorful. So many different spices and bold flavors.
