My dear friend Ellen Lee opened up a cooking class at my studio.

Since I renovated the studio with a full kitchen and a bar in March, 

my studio became more than a work space.  Ellen offers the class once a week,

usually on Tuesdays with different themes. This week's theme was

'Easy-to-prepare appetizers for Holiday parties'.

I always think cooking is a real work of Art because it really is making

something out of nothing.

If you are interested in Ellen's cooking class please call her at  818-419-4107.

She is such a talented chef and a food stylist. www.ellenleefoodstylist.com

Every summer about 8 to 10 families in the neighborhood have a vacation together in Yosemite.  
It became a much expected annual event of summer. Magnificent nature, swimming
in the river, biking under the moonlight, BBQ feast on the sand beach and no-driving
no-cell-phone for 5 days. I finally put together the footage from June 2009.
Sorry, I could not find any appropriate photo of myself.

My two kids, Minu and Somi
