Clout

I got new glasses today. I really like them, they are a nice blend of nerdyness and awesomeness. And they fit my big head pretty good too. I thought I would take a picture of them.

Downtown Santa Ana

So I've been spending a bunch of time in downtown Santa Ana at the artist district. Live music, a nice coffee shop, and some pretty hip bars make for a nice place to spend some time. I snapped these today before meeting a friend for coffee.

Croisants

So I had a very pleasant Sunday breakfast with my mother a few days ago, it was a great start to an excellent Sunday. Restful and productive. And I had a great chat with my mom. And I made myself a toasted croisant with cream cheese and homemade marmalade. It was so good I snapped a few shots of it.

30 Hr Famine

We held an event at my church this weekend called the 30Hr Famine. The Famine is an awareness event with the youth I volunteer with, we fast for 30Hrs while doing service projects and raising money for World Vision, a global non-profit which does great work around the world. Somewhere about the 28th or 29th hour I lead a group of youths through a Korean market where we would purchase our dinner. I saw these beautiful oxtails and I wanted so badly to make an oxtail soup. This does not go over well with 14 year old girls. None the less I snapped this picture before moving on to buy some BBQ short ribs.

Homemade Marmalade

One of my favorite things in the world is breakfast. A nice simple breakfast, a good cup of coffee, and reading the internet. This is a great way to start the day. So naturally when my mom made this fantastic homemade marmalade, I thought it would be appropriate to put it in whole wheat toast with cream cheese. I was right. It was delicious.
