Some Recent IG

Some captures from the iPhone via IG

Bay Lights
Went to see BAY LIGHTS with my man the Friday before I had to head back to DC. I don't like leaving but one day I'll come back to CA permanently with a few letters behind my name.

Top of Alamere Falls
Hiked Alamere Falls! It's a beautiful hike and not too hard. It's just a bit scary if you want to go to the beach because you have to carefully maneuver yourself down the cliffside and then come back up. Those pics will be up soon once exams subside.

Above the soft plush clouds
The saddest part ever - the long flights back to DC, alone.

One of my favoritist thing to eat
I guess it's avocado season!

Tried to make an egg in an avocado cup
Tried to make an egg in an avocado cup. This one I cut an avocado in half and scooped a little more out to make room for the egg. Cracked the egg directly into the avocado and baked it for about 20 minutes on 400 degrees. There are other ways to do this, such as slowly pan frying it. I ate all of my avocados so I'll try next time.

Toast w buffalo chicken dip and avocado
Made a huge crockpot full of buffalo chicken dip and trying to find different ways to eat it up. This way was pretty good!!

My First Cup of Home Brewed French Press Coffee Turned Cafe Au Lait

Tried to go for a more grainy filmy look. Just playing around with Lightroom. Last photo shot was from my iPhone 4S using the valencia instagram filter. That's my favorite filter. hehe ^_^

I finally bought a coffee grinder so I can finally use my french press and coffee beans I got for Christmas! It yielded a pretty nice cup of coffee. I think next time I'll use less water so the coffee taste is stronger. The yirg ycfcu peaberry has a nice sweet taste to it and the beans smell amazing!

Materials:
(1) Bodum French Press
(1) Porlex JP-30 Stainless Steel Coffee Grinder
(1) mug of your choice
(2) scoops of coffee beans (Blue Bottle Coffee Co yirg ycfcu peaberry beans were used) coursely ground
(2) cups of hot but not boiling water
(1/2) cup of vanilla soy milk
