It’s been a week of beautiful sunsets. I love how this one looks like an eagle swooping down into the ocean.
Is there any better comfort food than toast with homemade jam from your momma? I think not.
I’ve never been much of a baseball person, but I’ve found it’s kind of nice to stop and watch the adult softball games that go on every summer weeknight at our local park.
Also, picnics at the park, in the shade on a summery day. Wonderful.
Not to mention all the BLTs while tomatoes are in season. I’m not the biggest fan of the heat, but I do love summer.

If you haven’t heard of the #ILookLikeAnEngineer hashtag, it’s the most wonderful thing to happen to the internet all week. This is the original article that kicked it off, and you can see a lot of the posts aggregated here. Also, if you’re even the least bit interested in coding, Isis also wrote this great post.
And, since building stuff on the internet is always always on my mind, this article about the ways the internet has changed struck a chord. (But how to fix it?)

We love going to the Korean supermarket and buying random banchan to eat all week… and just happened to find some Korean pancakes from Trader Joe’s in our freezer. Synchronicity!
Pineapple juice on the rocks

Hot days require frozen drinks.

We’ve had weird weather lately. Super stormy (for LA), then this crazy thick, warm fog unlike anything I’ve ever seen in LA.
I may be clumsy, but at least I have sushi bandaids which obviously make everything better.
The best easy dinner.
Summer tomatoes are my favoritest.
Fluffy blankets are a necessity, even in the middle of summer.
Tried a new restaurant. Not bad!
Most people want a summer filled with sun and sand… my summer’s more like Son and sandwiches. 😀
My latest obsession. It’s SO refreshing.
My mom knows us well… she went on vacation and brought back saltwater taffy in ALL sorts of weird flavors – like mango chile, chicken and waffles, maple bacon…
Have a wonderful week!
