Winnie, you make everything look so good…

sorry for partying
I don’t remember my parents being so white, and… alive.
So many questions.

Liz needs to do some lunges to even her cheeks out.
“Naaaaah….”
But, the butt clenching shows signs of her self consciousness…
Still, she puts on her mask of whimsical nonchalance. You show’em, Lizza.

Yeah, you show that flower, Liz!

Lana Del Rey Tells Us What's What →
Good cover, girl. Perfect. Totally convincing. I knew your drunken transvestite impression was part of your avant-garde performance.

Chomp.

Ladies' Dinner Party
Salad roll party! We did this with Jess and Aurel on New Year’s Eve, but I forgot to take photos. Photo courtesy of Nat’s Iphone. God damn instagram makes everything look so good. Beef shabu style, grilled tofu, zucchini, korean hot peppers, and king oyster mushrooms. Green onions, cucumbers, cilantro, peppermint, thai basil, vermicelli, and rice paper. Home made peanut hoisin sauce....
Shuck All the Bucks
Jennette and I polished off 36 oysters at Rodney’s. That place is like the male version of Earl’s or Cactus club. Prerequisites for working as a server: male, white, handsome, beard. Every hour is happy hour. In my pants.
I think this is how Earl’s prevents their patrons from getting drunk too easily. Huge 2oz drinks.

Amelia bought this. From a store. Why.

Crispy pork belly with poached eggs. So amazing.

One Teaspoon leopard print mini dress
How to spend all your Christmas money in one fell swoop (and then some) at Vincent Park. WORTH IT! And now, to fondle my bag…
In the winter, I tend to totally not give a what I look like, but sometimes I look like a real human being. I needed photo documentation of this.
Liz Khalifa's First Christmas
Caroline and Liz. Liz, as usual, is too cool for school.
Liz, you look like sweaty Elvis, when he was way into fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches. In a cute way.
Family portrait! Liz, you really do look like a deer in headlights. Future actress?
Liz has just been told that Santa is not real. Gotta toughen em up young.
But somehow, flying reindeer are real.
Too much excitement,...
Traditional Christmas Breakfast
Seared scallops, wilted kale with gradano padano, and celerac puree. Jesus would approve.
Joyeux Noel!
To Liz, an antler hat and The Very Hungry Caterpillar! My favourite book growing up. I’d stare at the pictures of food for a very long time, and completely disregard the overall moral of the story. Funny, that…
Deerest Liz…

Young, Poor Gourmands
Let’s split a pound of foie gras between 6 people, okay? Okay! (Heart: Oh god, NOOOO!!!!)
Jess is forced to cut bread sans board due to ghetto conditions. Just kidding. A little.
Justin is helping.
Jess will toss your salad.
Perfectly seared foie gras.
Seared foie gras with a green salad and butter sauteed granny smith apples. Paired with a Sumac Ridge gewurztraminer ice wine.

Hot Hot Hot!
Merry Christmas, Jackie! Hot pot is not a gift that lasts very long, but it’s worth it, I think.
Ps. We ate a lot of that sliced rib eye. Beastly.

Half hat, half baby.
“Haay guuurrrl!”
Roll over! Good girl.
“HAY YOU GUYS! I CAN SHOVE MY WHOLE FIST IN MY MOUF!”
“Nevermind…”
Aw shucks...
“Aw, you guys…”
“Hey this dress is a little risque, don’t you think?”
“No, seriously, you can see my diaper right through it!”
“Ah whatever, I’m young enough to pull it off I guess.”

stereotype
Seriously, Liz? A kung fu pose? Give yourself a chance.
What, are you bad at driving, too? That’s two for two.
I bet you still live with your parents, too. So asian.

SLUT.
Slut shaming. I’m not down with it. The word itself has completely lost it’s original meaning to me because it’s completely ridiculous. Originally, it was a word used to describe a loose, immoral woman who was indiscriminate and would fuck any dude with a prick that worked. To my understanding, anyway. Basically, it taught us that sex, for women, is a dirty, dirty thing, and that...
CUPCAKE
Pairs well with chocolate desserts, dark berries, and a slightly diminished sense of self worth.

HAPPY BIRHTDAY, AMELIA (tomorrow)
On Sunday I went into work to bake cupcakes and make frosting and pastry cream for Amelia’s birthday. Today I filled and decorated them!
Chocolate cake and vanilla bean cream cheese icing, dyed black, and coconut pastry cream. They were originally going to look like spiders, and the cream was bug guts, but it just wasn’t working. This is fine.
I didn’t notice the typo until...
pickles!
Gizelle was making pickles at 2am. See you in ten days!

Tonight is Mimi’s last night in Vancouver before going home to Hong Kong for lord knows when, so she took me and Allison out to Nook!
Mimi and Allie!
Our waiter making the burrata special!
From left to right, USA vs. Italian burrata! I loved both, but for very different reasons. The Italian one was firmer, but with a delicious, slightly nutty flavour. The American one was so soft and...

I love Liz. Have I said that before?

cafeteria
I took Mimi out to Cafeteria tonight! I’ve been wanting to try it out ever since they replaced Pings (RIP).
Roasted pork belly, green papaya salad, and seared scallops. Perfect.
Veal parmigiana and spaghetti bolognese with rapini. The bolognese was perfect, but the parmigiana was a bit disappointing. It was exactly like any other dried out parmigiana I’ve ever had.

Aunt Mimi and Liz! LL looks like she’s giggling. OHOHOHO~
Liz is imitating a passed out drunk for a solid month now…
My blog is quickly becoming a Liz Lumon blog.

let's get fat!
Tonight, Aunt Mimi took me and Miranda to Les Faux Bourgeois!
Mimi and I both had the special, a grilled veal chop with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and chanterelle mushroom sauce. So amazingly fatass delicious.
Then we walked over to Sweet Revenge. The fruit and cheese plate gives you so much cheese. Not that I was complaining.
