Alana + Sofia

December 30, 2008

Over the holidays we got ot do a rad photo shoot with Tony’s nieces, Alana and Sofia. Tony usually doesn’t shoot the family stuff with me – but of course we had to have him there since these were his girls!

We had an awesome afternoon shooting downtown SF. Most of these were taken in my favorite parking garage.

Faux Christmas

December 25, 2008

This year my mom came out to Los Angeles a few days before Christmas to celebrate with Tony and I. We woke up on the Sunday before Christmas and did everything just as if it really were Christmas morning. We opened gifts and made a fancy breakfast and lounged around all day drinking eggnog. Oh, the eggnog…I can’t seam to quit the stuff.

For Christmas I like to make something that can be prepared the night before. Because really….who wants to be in the kitchen when you can be hanging out by the tree? Last time I was at Jani’s house (my BFF), she made Paula Dean’s French Toast Casserole dish and SERVED IT TO US IN BED!!!!! I’ve never forgotten it! So I decided to make it for our Faux Christmas Morning. Served with fresh strawberries, it was sinful…super rich, also super duper easy to make. Thow everything together the day before and let it sit in the fridge overnight.  I wanted to pass along the recipe here. The only thing it could have used was a dollup of Crème Fraîche or Fresh Whipped Cream to chill out all that sweet.

I snapped a quick pic before I tore into mine…..

Gift Wrap Rappin’!

December 24, 2008

Alot of you know my friend Alton on the Spot from New York City.  He’s always reinventing himself in new and fun ways! This holiday season he decided to become an award-winning Gift Wrapper as well as a highly downloaded Rapper…. About Gift Wrapping. Very Clever Mr. Alton! Well, all that self-promotion is really working…I can’t get this stupid song out of my head! It’s almost more hilarious than the rap cat.

Try playing this song as you wrap those last few gifts today – it will really put you in the mood…..and who said white guys can’t rap?

 

p.s. I think we have a celebrity look-alike here!
