Scallops and Scalpels?

First post ever!  Let's see how long I can keep this up.  Just a little intro on who I am.  I'm a 2nd generation Thai American born in NY but raised in the Valley (the San Fernando Valley in Cali).  I went to Cal (UC Berkeley for those who don't know what UC school Cal is) (GO BEARS!) and lived in the East Bay for 6 years.  Moved to the SLC, Utah 5 years ago and is now a medical student and mother (to my adorable 2 yr old Alaskan Malamute name Yoshi).

I only mention my past because I feel it defines my culinary experiences and shows where I'm coming from.
Anyways back to my background, just finished my 3rd year  in which I probably only really had time to cook maybe once every one or two weeks during the busier rotations.  Anyways, about to start my 4th year here in a few weeks  and decided to finally start my blog at the encouragement of my friends and family :) (cuz sometimes all I do is talk about food and cooking)

So you probably wonder... how in the world is she gonna squeeze in blogging and all the other busy work she needs to do.  How I see it is that I'll allow myself to satisfy my guilty pleasure and talk about food and cooking to ideally get it out of my head to leave room for the hours of studying and reading I need to do.

Pretty sure this first post explains the title of my blog :)
