Brownie's 24th Bday

Yes, that is me drinking champagne out of a straw because I didn't want to mess up my lipstick. This was on my 24th bday bash.

I usually never post about my private life. I feel like there is no need to. Why should I? My blog is about Food, Fashion and medicine. This past week was my bday. I turned 24 on Nov. 4th and my friends and family made it a wonderful night for me to celebrate!

I got a dress from Tatyana Merenyuk at Red Doll. What I love about this designer is that each collection she puts out and if you want to purchase something from you she will communicate with you. She makes her dresses according to your measurements!! I also loved her customer service, she responded to every email I sent within an hour and she is so sweet. The dress came in a clear bag with a red ribbon wrapped around it and the red doll icon sticking out. It was beautiful and it made me not even want to open the dress in but then I thought OH MY GOODNESS ITS THE DRESS I HAVE TO OPEN IT! The dress even came out with a lovely personalized card from the wonderful designer Tatyana. Ahhhh I was and still am in heaven when I think about it. My little cousin Luke helped me open the bag and oh my it is beautiful and stunning.

On my special day this dress made me feel extra special. Women, Girls, Men and boys all loved this dress....Thanks to all my family and friends who made my bday night special. You're the best!

Happy Bday Amber!

The 31st was my friend Amber's birthday so Luke and I took her out to eat sushi. We went to the wonderful restaurant Tokyo in OKC and like always that place never failed me! It was Ambers first time at Tokyo and she loved it as well.I ordered Luke the kids plate and it had one side of Tempora, Chicken Teriyaki with Rice on the bottom and for desert they included a side piece of CAKE! It was beautifully given to us like a basket with a lid which we all loved. Everyone sitting next to us loved the Food given to Luke(Who actually goes there and orders the Kid sections if you"re an adult?)Right after Luke finished his food he decided to go after Amber's cake. Amber let Luke do whatever he wanted with her desert and while she laughed so hard watching Luke eat the desert. Either way I'm glad Amber enjoyed dinner...Happy Birthday Ammmmber!

Favorite Dish. Lobby Bar.

Look, I love the lobby bar for several reasons. Let me list them, it's the Service, the Food, The atmosphere and every time I leave the lobby bar I leave as a full satisfied customer. Will Rogers would be very proud of what the owners of the Lobby Bar did to that Theater.

Every time I'm at the Lobby Bar I order a fillet with sauce(I'm too busy eating to ask what's in it) that has capers in it. I also order a house salad with Japanese dressing and I just love to eat it all up!

This is one dish I will never take home because I will finish it in an hour or so. You see, I eat in a French manner. I eat in small portions and I like to take my time to eat. It's how I was raised and so far it has stuck with me into adult-hood(23 is adult hood, right?) Whenever I go out to eat I always take a "to go" box because after a while I get full and take it home. If I'm with friends they yell out on who gets first dibs. I must admit, it is entertaining to see the people around me yell "Pass that over here!" I really believe Friends were put on earth because God wants us to know that we will always be taken care of. Either way, if you are ever in OKC you must definetly go to the Lobby Bar. That place is a must and sometimes they even have jazz bands that play. You can eat your food and listen to wonderful music that will take you back to New Orleans.

Happy Hour Fooood!

Yesterday, I met my friend Kat for Happy Hour at a place called Red-Prime Steakhouse and let me tell you, it was fabulous. Although, the bartenders were pretty crappy the food over-all place was great. If I were to go there again I wouldn't sit at the bar but instead I would sit at a table.

Right when I got there I ordered a Flirtini which was simply amazing. One thing I love about Red Prime is the atmosphere and the beautiful shades of Red coming out of the windows, and the ceilings. It gives you that upper NYC feeling that you just love to have at times.
My good friend Russell works at Red-Prime and he brought us a cow tongue appetizer. It was yummy and I never had cow tongue before. One thing I noticed about cow tongue is that it tastes like Liver. The cow tongue had a beautiful sauce and it was topped of with lettuce I believe. It was okay but it wasn't bad. It was right in the middle. For now, I will pass on anything that is affiliated with Cow-tongue. I need to let my tongue breathe. After I tried the cow tongue I decided to eat normal American Food. I got a bean salad which was topped off with peacons and it made my mouth drizzle. This salad was fabulous.
After the salad I ordered a sirloin steak and boy was it YUMMO!! I had Idaho fries on the side and just looking it made my heart beat so fast I felt like I just ran a marathon. The steak and fries were cooked in perfection and I had no complaints about it.


For desert I ordered a Strawberry Shortcake. I'm the type of person where I cannot stand strawberrys unless it is the fruit itself but this desert was just the pure definition of love, sweet and Perfection. If you are ever in OKC please try the Red-Prime steakhouse although avoid going to the bar unless you want crappy service.

Oklahoma Sushi

There is a hot spot sushi restaurant in OKC called Sushi Neko. I went there last week and ordered a house salad with Japanese dressing(as you know I love this stuff.) I simply LOVE their salad and included in it is cucumbers, baby tomatoes, and carrots. Just looking at it makes me fall in love with it over and over again.

After salad, I ordered a Zebra roll that had eel and cream cheese on it.
Then I ordered the famous Red Canyon. It has crawfish and Japaanese Mayo on it. The rolls are baked and they top it with the delicious orange-red sauce and just eating it makes me feel like I'm in heaven.
If you're a sushi addict and you're in OKC please go to Sushi Neko...their sushi is one of the best in the City of Oklahoma.

Coooking Dinner!

A couple of days ago I cooked dinner for my lovely friend Kat. I call her Kitty Kat Kitten, anyhow I decided to create a simple salad, shrimp scampi with pasta and for desert cinnamon rolls.

Since it was my first time to cook for a dear friend I even created a menu which created a good laugh for Kat. For the menu I simple used one authentic name which was Shrimp Scampi with Pasta. For the salad I called it "The Brownie Salad" and for the desert I called it "Kitty's Cinnabon Swirls." Kat loved it, just seeing the smile on her face made it all worth it to me!
It was nice to sit back and cook dinner for my friend. We laughed till all hours of the night and enjoyed each others company.
My camera wasn't working properly so the pictures didn't turn out that great. I was dissapointed in myself but I can clearly do it again another time. I also forgot to take pictures of the cinnamon buns! UGH! Stupid Brownie! Please forgive me this time. I hope to cook again with various friends. I figure, why not? This is pretty neat.

Classic Indian Tea

As a child, I remember leaving good ol Oklahoma and moving to India not knowing what this country consisted of. One of my fondest memory of growing up in India is when my brothers and I would be in our front yard playing cricket while my mother looked on drinking her tea. Indians are just like the British...they must have their tea every day around 4 or 5 PM. It's a way of life.

What I love about this classic tea is that it's so simple and time less. It's like a little black dress that never goes out of style. All you need is Taj Mahal Tea, Water, and milk to make this classic tea and its fabulous. Every time I drink this certain type of tea it brings back memories of growing up southern India; where as a little kid I would look up to the sky and instead of seeing the blue skys I would see the green coconut tree leaves move according to where the wind blew. Ahhh, those were the days of pure Simplicity.
