i can’t get enough of jennifer causey’s blog simply breakfast.
hands down i’d rather have an omelette or a delicious bagel than lunch or dinner.
jen takes the most beautiful pictures that always inspire me to try something new.

sophie’s delights…
29 Thursday Jul 2010
sophie dahl’s “miss dahl’s voluptuous delights” cookbook has been out for awhile, but i love the simplistic approach to eating for a better “you”. yes, it’s not a super technical cookbook, but it’s in a reading style thats easy & fun to get on board with. can’t wait to get it home from work!

i cannot express how happy it is that summer is officially here! i made a few job changes, so i will have a semi-normal schedule & be off on holidays! it means more time veggin’, shopping, & of course eating! a few days ago, i went to visit one of my favorite haunts, new stone age for fun gifts & silly miscellaneous items like my dog stapler! i love spending what seems like hours in there exploring & browsing the vast selection of artisan jewelry. as always some shots of some recent food travels, fresh flowers, & an enchanted trip to anthropologie. that clock dress is beyond adorable!

i have sort of developed a crush on chuck hughes. the new cooking channel previewed chuck’s day off not too long ago & i can’t stop watching his show! it’s incredibly entertaining. i can’t believe we’ve been deprived of him in the us…such a charmer…sigh*

On the same day I visit Swork coffee shop & did some window shopping, my hunger quickly grew for a real meal. Venturing down the street, the retro sign of The Oinkster stands out over the horizon. Andre Guerrero you’ve won my foodie heart. The place is a stylish “fastfood” establishment filled with a menu that makes your eyes glimmer with hungry hope & thankfully alcohol too. Naturally, I try “the oinkster pastrami sandwich”, deliciously filled with soft slabs of yummy goodness. OMG this thing is amazing, especially since I kinda hate pastrami. I enjoy this bundle of joy with crunchy “piggy fries”, reminiscent of the animal style fries found at In and Out, only much tastier. I am simply in a state of food bliss, that I quickly order another for my sister who would surely appreciate this devilish sandwich. So, this place will definitely warrant another visit & I can’t wait! The Oinkster • 2005 Colorado Blvd., Eagle Rock, CA
it was raining, but it didn’t stop me…
me & this sandwich fell in love…
Monica is…a coffee junky & proud of it.

Anyone who knows me well enough, knows I love coffee. It it one of my top five vices that I cant live without. It makes my day 100 times better knowing I’m up & charged with it’s delicious goodness. I’m quite picky & can usually tell when a cup of joe is just poo poo. It’s all about the beans & if the place cares enough to have their own special blend or at least one harvested with care, it makes me a happy camper. So, since I’m such a coffee snob, I had to try Swork. (Made LA Magazine & Sunset Magazine’s best coffee house lists) Up until visiting the place today, I had heard nothing but great things about the place & was extremely pleased to see it was all true. It’s a great, cozy place with amazing coffee & really nice people! There was plenty of seating, especially on this gloomy rainy day. Perfect day for a decadent chocolate fudge muffin, coffee & fashion magazines. Bliss… Swork 2160 Colorado Blvd. Eagle Rock, CA 90041 t.323.258.5600
and yes that muffin was to die for…
choco-goodness!
a sea of macs and swork cups…

I remember this vaguely, kinda sad I missed this before the “Bradley Cooper Mania” began…Hey, Mr. Cooper please no more dates with Jennifer Aniston, she’s stone cold & the thought of you dating that icicle kills the…ahhemm…fantasy.
UPDATE—–here’s that pic…
