A Yum and DONE

I spent some of yesterday cutting mats and framing. And I probably always say this after I frame something and while it's fresh in my mind- but, my hats off to those who frame their creations themselves!
The bulk of the time was spent trying to straighten/stretch the linen so that the stitches are in alignment with the mat. I had to re-do it like 15 times, literally. It's still crooked, but I suppose that's the best I can do. But I do, I do love the frame and the double mat. Cutting mats and framing are not my specialty and never will be, but nevertheless I will continue to do it cause I can and I am a poor college student.

I made vietnamese spring rolls again! This time for my grandma- it was her first time trying it and *drumroll* she liked it!

Yumminess Overload

Today my best friend and I had a feast of very random foods. We haven't cooked together in a long time and we just needed a breather- she's up in Santa Cruz while I'm stuck in the valley, so this was a once in a blue moon kind of thing. From vietnamese spring rolls, grilled mozzarella cheese sandwiches, yubu chobab, to red velvet cupcakes, it was a feast alright.

Yubu Chobab is seasoned rice (sweet and sour) stuffed in fried bean curd.

They were moist and just the right amount of sweet.
