the heart as it is | courage • grief • beauty

These are the days of:

…taking Jacob to a super fancy place for his birthday ! I wanted to go somewhere he could order a nice steak. I also took advantage of the nice-ness of the restaurant ! The pasta was probably my favorite. I also really liked the drink I ordered. Here are all the photos from that restaurant:

…making my own 魯豆腐:

…having another belated birthday dinner with Jacob and my dad where Jacob could order a giant empanada and we got free sorbet at the end:

…making my own herbal Chinese chicken soup for my terrible cramping. I will probably start to make these conistently a couple weeks before my period starts to see if it makes any difference:

…starting my internships. At one of them, someone brought Honolulu cookies which I really loved eating in Hawai’i:

…attempting to make my own Pop tarts. They tasted best when they were cold :

…squeezing in a hike with a friend during her one-day trip here:

…taking a photo of a sleepy JJ:

…visiting a popular ice cream store area in downtown Pleasanton:

…making my own raspberry sorbet:

…seeing this view from my 2nd internship which was just incredibly stunning:
