Birthday Dinner
My sister had me over to her house for my birthday and I decided to cook 2/3 of the dinner. Coq au vin blanc and creamy tomato bisque with her sautéd veggies. 📸: My Shitty Phone
Ahi Tuna & Tomato Soup
I love seared ahi and I usually plate it with whatever concoction I have on the stove at the time. Tonight it was over hearty tomato soup and topped with habanero pico de gallo and sweet & sour aioli. 📸: Macro 100mm 2.8 L
Sopa de Flor de Calabaza (Squash Blossom Soup)
This is actually a soup my mom taught me how to make. Now, I am a weapons-grade dumbass and have never been a good note taker, so I never measured anything much less actually have a fucking recipe written anywhere. At least until now… Kinda… This is my first attempt at making a soup that…

Pastrami Avocado Toast
When I’m stoned, starving and I have solid bread, the depraved depths I sink to are… not my finest moments. Navel Pastrami (from B&L Quality Meats), Arugula, Spinach, Alfalfa Sprouts (from Farmer’s Market), Spicy Tahini (from Pita Kabob) and Fried Egg on Country Bread.
Koja Burger
Dad flew in from Mexico and we went to San Francisco for my sister Maria’s graduation. We stopped at Koja in the Presidio neighborhood. My dad ordered the pork belly tacos which were enough of a revelation that they were devoured before I could get my phone out to get photos.
Coq Au Vin Blanc
This will hopefully be the first of many of my food posts that includes a recipe. 📸: 24-70mm 2.8 L Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Season potatoes with salt, pepper and olive oil. Place potatoes in a shallow roasting pan, add three tablespoons of butter and cover with two layers of aluminum foil. Place…
Chicken & Rice
Oven-Roasted Chicken Quarter with Garlic Rice? It ain’t the good-good Chicken & Rice from the good pho joints in town, but it gets the job done. Rosemary was grown on my balcony. 😋 📸: 24-70mm 2.8 L
Pho
Y’all, did you know that pho tastes just as good, if not better, even when you’re NOT hungover? 😂 📸: 24-70mm 2.8 L
Central Cali Leftovers
Went to my homie Sam’s (https://instagram.com/samfromftk) FTK spot in Fresno last for the Jive-Ass Turkey night after a photo shoot at Woodward Park. Got to hang with a few of my Grizzly homies and shot the shit with them. It felt like FOREVER since I’ve gotten to see ANYONE in person. It was a nice…
