The days are getting shorter and the tips are getting weirder.
Also:
1. Much love to my friends and family on the east coast. Thinking of you all!
2. Re: Tip no. 7, quick shout out to my coworkers: you know I love you guys, but you also know I sometimes need to eat my lunch in the car. xoxo

bon appétempt's original motto: tackling semi-ridiculous to outright ridiculous gourmet and/or seemingly intense recipes, despite my novice skill set and average-at-best collection of kitchen appliances and cooking tools.
The above was set out, however, before my big culinary change of heart, as documented here. And while we're on the subject of pivotal moments... there have been a few over the (6) years, like this one and this one and, of course, this one AND now this one!
If you want to know the whole story, I invite you to read my book!

I want to go to the tip pit.
i love these. a fig never falls too far from the tip pit!
I DO have an office but sometimes I still want to eat lunch in my car. :-)
What a beautifully packed lunch! I love that folding knife.
OMG I definitely know what you mean about needing a few moments to yourself during the workday. I'm totally going to try this lunch in my car thing tomorrow!

Love them both! Instead of my car, my private lunches (or tuning out certain coworkers) requires a set of headphones and some music. I'll have to try the car sometime though...
What a way to lighten the day after so many days of darkness (at least on the East Coast)
hahahaha beautifully packed CAR LUNCH! you are the best and funniest blogger on the internet.
Such a good TIP! Quiet time away from the computer at work is key. You make eating eating lunch in the car look super cozy! Definitely gotta start doing that!
Tip #6 would make Lewis Carroll proud! Also, Tip #7-classiest car lunch I've ever seen. During school, mine were more like "oatmeal in the mug, eaten while freeway traffic inches along" or "this torn piece of paper towel will definitely prevent crumbs from my toasted english muffin from getting all over the car"
Amelia! I eat lunch in my car everyday. LOVE the seat recline. It's a must, xoxo
Tip no. 7 is my fave yet! I totally get this. But now that I work by myself at home all day, the only person I need to get away from is me.
Does the tip pit have any availability this winter? We're looking for something with ocean views (preferably) and a double bath for under $280/night. Thanks in advance.
Am I way out of line to submit Tip 7b as a tip for your Tip 7? When dining alone in one's car, sit in the PASSENGER'S seat! No pesky steering wheel, and you can use the open glove box as a tray! HEL-lo!
I want to know what kind of paper you use to wrap your sandwich?
I also LOVE that folding knife and the blue mug. If you don't mind sharing, what are they and (more importantly) where can I get me some?
Why, that's good old-fashioned wax paper, Sandy!
Hi D.D.! The folding knife is an opinel: http://www.stoddards.com/opinel-pocket-knife-no-8/?gclid=CLLi7IjgrLMCFal7QgodIk0A_g
And the mug is this amazing hand-thrown Japanese one I got where I work, at Heath Ceramics. We had an exhibition featuring a group of ceramists from Mashiko, Japan... the good news? There's one left at the Los Angeles store. It also comes in pink... give the store a call if you want one! xo
ha!! love it.
I've never seen such an organized-looking glove box! Thanks for the laugh!
"So many things to recommend here" !! The car lunch (a must), the headlamp, and did you drink out of that blue mug, by chance? Because someone told me it was just for show...
Keep em coming!
Katherine! I'm putting the tip pit on airbnb.com. Obviously, you'll be the first to know when its officially up!
amelia ailema live from the tip pit. i live for these videos.
Hi to all,I am new person to the blog.I want to share about the you tube views through your blog.Keep update the blog.

Amelia,
I agree with that big time blog thats says your blog is one of the best on the internet! It could also be the winner of a separate category, "what I did while not writing my literature review!"
Thank you for the fun distraction from life; your humor, food and music selection are right up my ally. You're beautiful!
Gina
Aww, thanks sooo much, Gina!!
Love, love, love the tray for lunch in the car! Why didn't I ever think of that? I hate eating on my lap (things keep falling off my legs), but love the tray idea. My lunch-time thanks to you.
I thought the same thing!
Tips 6 & 7 are the best yet.
Amelia, I've just discovered your blog, and since then I've watched the Tip Pit video no less than four times. Just keeps getting better. What a fun way to hang out with the person you love!
Thanks, guys!!
Tip #6 is my favorite tip yet!
These tips cracked me up hard. I was no stranger to the eating lunch in my car bit when I worked at an office job. Now I eat lunch on my couch in my pajamas with my dog. Much preferred.
