the one bad thing about being at home on a day off… i cannot stop eating. good thing i don’t keep an abundance of snack food in the house.

i tried out thomas keller’s baked beets and it was delicious. i didn’t really know how to plate it as it kept slipping around and i didn’t want to stain my clothes haha.

after consuming this whole beet, a few hours later i did pee a startlingly shade of red.

for the first time in a very long time, joks got together for a meal. we went out to marquee grill, which is celebrity chef tre wilcox‘s restaurant. we had many things to celebrate. love (ew), jobs, birthdays… life. i get really cheesy with them now but it’s disgusting so i’ll stop and show you a picture instead.

the best part was when tre chatted with jessi:

tre: ooh, where did you go to get some sun?
jessi: *confused, then slowly understands*… oh… it’s just alcohol.
tre: hahahahahaha
oks: hahahahahaha

then we celebrated jessi’s birthday by splurging at target for her IRC kids and getting them all the back to school items they could want. i forgot how fun it is shopping for school supplies. :] and hopefully, it will make them feel like little celebrities in their new life.

i’m getting inspired to cook again. yesterday morning, i curled up on the couch and read recipes and suggestions from thomas keller. i think some vegetable creations are on its way, along with some poussins or cornish hen. :]
