ah, kimchee chigae is so much better with msg. :P last time, i forgot to use chicken broth (the costco kind has msg in it, unfortunately) and used water instead, and it was definitely different. this time i didn't forget.

i had a whirlwind of a weekend in LA! studying kinda flew out the window. again. on friday night, i got to see the beautiful American Ballet Theatre in an eclectic mixed repertory program, which was awesome. My sister enjoyed it too, which was great, she was laughing out loud. the best part was, i met sascha radetsky! again. he remembered me too, or at least he said he did. i brought my center stage dvd with me this time, which he signed. he's really matured as a dancer, a lot more expressive and visceral - he feels like he's growing into his own skin more in his dancing. it was awesome to see.

then we had lunch in griddle cafe in hollywood, no stars there that day though. but the food was still the best, voted "best breakfast" in the nation for a few years in a row. the prices are yummy too! sarah and i had strawberries and cream waffles, the cream made with "brown sugar sour cream" - but it's so rich and so so good! i'm such a food-ie, i definitely live to eat, not eat to live.

and then buster's was great too, a little more local, but with the live jazz band and great company there as well - met Mollie there, saw her gorgeous engagement ring!! it was such a treat.

now back to reality and genetics and problem sets-
