Thissss is how weee do itttt

For me the party of the year is now the Salesforce.com Holiday Party. Yep, I said it. This year they had Kool and the Gang perform, a Michael Jackson Tribute band...

...break dancers, awesome food... oh and could you tell the theme was 80's? They always have the coolest centerpieces and stuff.

fleshly amusement

This will be how I spend my Saturdays from here til May maybe longer... 

 

...watching a weirdo game named rugby, a strange mix of soccer and football. I am still grasping certain concepts...

Don't be Jealous

Well maybe you should be. This is the third time since Feburary when I bought this thing has bloomed and it looks like I am going to get a few more flowers after this one too! I am kinda a big deal... I know...

 

Holy Pummelo

Or known as Pumelo. These things are huge and I couldn't resist picking on up at the market over on Clement and 25th. I had no idea with what to expect so I looked up how to peel the beasts and went from there. It was a long process, but they are delish!! They taste like a combo of orange and grapefruit.

Guess the Pummelo?

You could make a mean fruit salad with this.

Orchids can be Bastards

Not really, I have never been successful with the little jerks until I moved to San Francisco. While in LA I had a few and could never get them to bloom, which was very frustrating. Now my technique is as follows: water them when I forget the last time I watered them, and add fertilizer here and there. This scientific technique makes them freak out and bloom once to twice a year.

So I was told this guy was from Costa Rica. BUT its tag that I found in the soil after purchasing said Epidendrum corifolium, Guatemala. So I am more inclined to believe that, rather than the rando guy who sold it to me.

Thanks-o-giving

I cant resist putting up these posts of all the amazing food I had over the Thanksgiving weekend. The usual suspects were all there, mashed potatoes, bomb ass turkey, brown sugar carrot thingys (they were De-Lish!) green beans (however I don't care about those enough to take a picture, don't judge me.) OH and duhhhhh lots of wine!

Mia the Mascot

Around 4 Months old... 

just looking out the window chillin...

I am concerned

I don't know what the hell is going on with these seeds... what to do? Some of the little sprouts are dying off and turning brown. Too much water? Noo.... I am keeping the soil moist and giving it some fertilizer every so often. Maybe its just too cold. But why would you give someone seeds that were not good for fall/winter planting!? Question of the ages is what this is...
