Good morning. My name's Christine, and I'm a stress-eater.

Comfort Food: Meatloaf Edition

Meatloaf is fairly new territory for me. I think the only kind I've had were Filipino versions and they probably don't serve as the best representation. Plus, I'm still not sure how I feel about raisins in my meatloaf.

School's Out!

Big news, people. First, my apologies for being semi-MIA lately. I've been a bit preoccupied with finals, as I'm sure I've mentioned before. But guess what! I finished my last final! Which means I'm done with school, FOREVER. My last final EVER. I can't express how good this feels. Law school was just...not fun.

Recipe: Waldorf Chicken Salad Sandwich

I'm not the biggest fan of mayonnaise. But for some reason, I really like Waldorf chicken salad. I just love the mix of flavors and textures: a little sweetness from the grapes, saltiness from the chicken, crunchiness from the almonds, slight bitterness from the celery... it's got everything! But the calorie count in all that mayonnaise is just too much for everyday. So, I made a small adjustment and the outcome was just as delicious.

Matchup Monday: Rebecca v. Proenza

I know, I know. You all are probably thinking, "Christine, how you gonna try and compare anything to Proenza Schouler?!" I feel you, I really do. But my shallow pockets don't wanna hear it. And although these may not be carbon copies, they're both pretty darn beautiful.
