about me
Welcome to my blog, my name is Lindsey aka modchik. A former Operations Manager with a strong desire to CREATE. In 2009 I decided my 9-5 job wasn't working for me (or my two kids). I traded my calculator for a camera and began building a blog. By the end of 2010 modchik-photography happened. I have a penchant for good recipes, strong coffee, iPhoneography, mid-century modernism, fashion trends, astrology and Pinterest. I get to talk about all of that here. I promise you'll never be bored.

Latest Crave | Tamarind of London
Raise your hand if you like Indian food? (raises both hands) I don’t just like Indian food I LOVE Indian food. Â I certainly wasn’t exposed to many Indian dishes growing up in Southern California. I think my mom had one dish in her rotation, Hurry Curry. It was a very Americanized version of curry that included more sour cream and condensed soup then curry but I still thought it was the best comfort food aside from mac n’ cheese my … Continue reading
Stonefire Grill Simply Delicious
June here you are already. So many things leading up to this month the gateway to summer.

I have every intention of jumping right back into my apron but for now I found a … Continue reading
BlogCrush on Zovs

As a group of bloggers we often get the chance to try out new restaurants, sample menu items and meet head chefs, I always look forward to getting in a little food photo time when I go to these things. We’ve been to Haven Gastropub (Orange Circle) where I had my first Beer Float (yep beer and ice cream, soooo GOOD) and a Russian Mule (ginger beer and … Continue reading
Fall Fashion Fused with Food at Bloomingdale’s
Last week I was invited as a guest of Priscilla Willis She’s Cookin,  to attend Bloomingdale’s Fall Fashion show hosted at Bloomingdale’s newest restaurant AnQi by Crustacean. Of course I instantly accepted with a resounding Hell Yea! and then I thought about it for a moment and almost instantly I broke out in a cold sweat. As a self proclaimed shop o’holic on a self imposed “shopping break” the thought of being just a few feet away from the Best of Bloomingdale’s Fall Fashion made … Continue reading
Drinks, Dogs and Delicious Food
I feel strange typing the words “delicious food” and “dog” in the same sentence but when you consider that the Lazy Dog Cafe embraces both you find that it really isn’t a strange combination at all. We all know clearly that I am a cat person. I have never had a dog (what can I say I came from a cat lovin family who watched a lot of Garfield). But I love meeting new dogs, I have learned they are extremely … Continue reading
