@bmok.bsky.social drove to Mar Vista for Oaxacan at Quiadaiyn tonight, where I had a glorious flight of mezcal and tried mole chichilo. Then, we went to Echo Park to the newly opened El Moro, which specializes in churros and chocolate. Glorious food night!

While running some errands around lunchtime, we visited our favorite shop dog, Oso, who works at Gogosha Optique in Echo Park. There were many carrots and commands and snuggles. We also had lunch at Monty's Good Burger. 10/10 for all of it. Would recommend!

We heard there's this little film festival happening in Park City, UT, this weekend, so @imtherealcatlady.bsky.social and I decided to take a girls trip and see what it's all about. 😉 #sundancefilmfestival

Another night, another dish! Marinated tofu stir-fried with cauliflower and onions, topped with cilantro, green onion, pepper-salt, and sesame oil, and served over quinoa. 🥰

I'm not feeling so hot today (fighting a pesky head cold), but I did get some exciting book mail - my copy of the HWA Poetry Showcase XII, which includes my poem, False Prophet! So honored to have my words in these pages alongside some truly incredible poets. 🖤🖤🖤

After a long walk on a chilly night, pastry and hot cocoa are very necessary!

Pod People, it's a new year! The horrors persist, but so do we. We hope 2026 is off to a great start for you, and if it isn't, perhaps a new Horror in the Margins podcast episode will help to soothe the soul?

I'm super grateful that my back is healing, and I felt well enough this evening to take a short walk in the rain to get ramen and ah-boong in Little Tokyo. Now, it's time for hot tea, videogames, and some reading.

I had a blast at the HWA holiday shindig/white elephant gift exchange tonight! Look at the handsome fella I came home with! This is the much-coveted HWA LA garden gnome. He's been crashing the chapter's white elephant gift exchanges since around 2014. It's my duty to ensure he's...

@bmok.bsky.social outdid himself! Lasagna with red sauce, homemade sweet potato gnocchi in a browned butter-miso-dill-orange sauce, and a roasted Brussels sprouts, beets, Bleu cheese, and candied pecan salad with a lemon-furikake dressing. Stay tuned for dessert...

Who would I be if I didn't do a Christmas Eve bake? These are burnt tahini cookies from Paola Velez's Bodega Bakes cookbook, and I am in love! These cookies are almost savory thanks to cooked tahini, browned butter, and sesame seeds, but they're balanced with milk chocolate chunks. YUM!
