| L&A 2010 TUCK ANYWHERE CALENDARS |

wishing you the happiest & cheers-iest 2010...

may it bring splendid things for you,

the ones you love

(crazy to think i'm graduating university this year!!)

before L&A welcomes in the new year, some recognition has to be given to the holiday paper season and the culinary event of the year : christmas brunch.

this year, the increasingly edible affair featured a prosciutto and caramelized onion frittata, rocket salad with honeycrisp apples, and a lemon vinaigrette... and...

mcdonald's french fries for my father & mcdonald's ketchup for my mother.

and here are some more highlights from the L&A holiday season.

And, a special thanks to everyone who ordered L&A:HOLIDAY gifts... because of their orders, LOTUS&ASH is able to make a considerable donation to READING PARTNERS, so that in 2010, every california kid has the opportunity to learn how to read and write.

and, last but not least, happy 2nd birthday to the L&A UPDATE blog.
