This past week has been a fun one. I started listening to the Serial podcast (I know, SO late in the game), and I’m hooked. I’m not reallyΒ into murder mysteriesΒ usuallyΒ but the way they tell the story is so interesting.

Also,Β I am now a blonde. It’s something I’ve been thinking about doing for a while, soΒ I just said, “F*ck it, life’s too short,” and I booked an appointment for a 3 hour bleach and toning session. #NotPaleo #DontCare. I thought… If it looks bad, it’s just hair. And my hair grows so fast, my mom used to say, “Everything you eat just goes to your hair.” But I ended up loving it. It’s so dramatic and I was super nervous about it at first, especially being Asian, but it surprisingly complements my skin tone well. I’m not fully used to it yet as I still surprise myself whenever I see my reflection or when my hair falls to my face in my line of vision, but it’s so fun at the same time.Β

Lastly, I saw these adorable mini peppers at the farmers market, and they were so pretty and begging to be stuffed so that’s what I did (sounds dirty, but it’s the truth). Making cheese out of cashews is one of my favorite dairy-free tricks and it tastes so good on its ownΒ as a dip or in an appetizer recipe like this one. I’ve been enjoying this finger-food snack all week long so I know it lasts at least for that long in the fridge. It’s a delicious party snack, and even caters to your vegan friends which is always a plus when you live inΒ the bay area.
