Culinary Explorations and Experiences around LA and the Foodiverse
Wow, has it been almost a year since I last updated?! But believe me when I say that I’ve missed blogging and food adventures. But I have been doing a little cookin’ myself…..
Since my last post, I :
-Had a bun in the oven and mini Nanciful arrived in June
-Was diagnosed with gestational diabetes which really put a damper on my pregnancy cravings (and my food blog)
-Became a homeowner (I am still living with nightmares from the renovations)
-Was certified as a yoga teacher (yes while pregnant!)
-Went 5 days without showering or washing my hair (part of my30 days postpartum confinement, more on this later)
-Ate ginger and black chicken almost everyday during those 30 day confinement diet
Hence the lack of time to update blog and lack of effort on my part. Unfortunately for me, during the first 3 months of my pregnancy, I had MAJOR morning sickness. All I could eat was Lays original potato chips, black bean chicken with rice and thousand year egg porridge from Phoenix and Coco Puffs with milk. So not a lot of content for this blog. However, I aim to start (food) blogging again on a regular basis soon and really looking forward to my re-entry into the world. Just wanted to drop a quick hello to those who still remembers this little ole’ blog.
As a resident of Los Angeles and an extensive traveler, Nanciful’s tastebuds have been around the block and then some. This blog will focus on my reviews of local and international dining experiences. These will range from restaurants that break the bank to delectables that can be bought from change found in the couch. The blog will also include my musings of the world, her travels, her wishes and desires and everything else.
I am also trying my hand at cooking. So stay tuned for adventures and experiments from the kitchen.
Some of my interests include spending time with the Hubs, yoga, running, Sweaty Sunday, traveling, eating, reading food blogs while eating, and perusing a menu or cookbook before bedtime.

We just got our counter tops put on yesterday. Due to my cheapness, stupidity, and ignorance, our appliances are not in despite the counters being in. This after 6 months of random, inconsistent modeling. Good times.

@SinoSoul: Yeah, during renovation, it was all about scheduling. One little mishap can ruin the entire project. Don’t feel bad, we did all interior painting and THEN decided we wanted new countertops and backsplash for the kitchen and recess lighting. Then our roof leaked and ruined some of the paint so we had holes in a ceiling for a bit and the painters had to come back a gazillion times. Good times indeed.

Welcome back, Nancy! Did you have to stay in for 30 days because that’s what Chinese people do after they have babies? I’ve heard about this!
