{Jim’s Philly Cheese Steak with whiz and onions}

This week felt quite fairytale-esque. It started with high tea and ended with an entire day playing dress-up in gorgeous gowns. In order to balance out all of the frilliness, I ended my trip back east with my first Philly Cheese Steak and now I’m entirely obsessed. One of my favorite parts of traveling is trying out the local favorites, but now that I’m back in California, I’m in desperate need of Mexican food; the cheaper the better.

    LOVE the momofuku cake truffles. I want to make them soon. I used to buy them from milk bar just before guests would arrive in the city and give them to my friends as welcome presents.

    So true! My sister and I both lived in NYC for a couple of years and the East Coast has nothing on California when it comes to Mexican food! However, the Philly Cheese Steak sounds super tasty!
