Mission de Chef Natalie: LA Rooftop Sunday Brunch

Now playing "feather"
Up super early... but it's gorgeous morning! There's a slight morning chill, birds are chirping.

Making Sunday Brunch @ a gf's pad in LA. Its a beautiful morning! it will be perfect to enjoy a sunday brunch, mimosa's and alcoholic desserts on the rooftop overlooking LA.

Can't wait, but Im up against my will because my constant itch of having to always be prepared prepared prepared has got to be scratched well well well! Dont want to forget a single ingredient (dunno where the closest store it at). Don't want to forget a single tool or garnish...or dish or matching glass for that matter either! I'm not OCD...but I am definitely anal about detail cuz it's ALL about taste & it's ALL about presentation.

OH MAN! EYEBAGS GALORE I'M SURE OF IT!

Menu this morning:

笑了

今早發現媽媽不在房間裡...我走進後院的花圃看到媽媽的背影.我們看著對方, 兩人都穿白色衣服, 戴帽子. 我們看著對方...沒說話...媽媽笑了。我看著她，也笑了。

Lookin back, me and mommy were born with such opposite character and personality: I was so tough, strong, selfish and stubborn. Mommy grew up soft, weak, gentle and giving. Time has passed. Mommy aged. I've grown up. As I looked at her in our garden...both wearing white and sunhats....her with short hair & cute wrinkles...me with my long hair & flip flops, I realized something. I am a mirror of her when she was young. And some how, with God's blessing and her love....Time & their love has washed away my toughness, selfishness & stubborness. I've grown up to be soft, gentle and giving....but remain strong in my spirit.

...謝謝.
