Today I got my 2nd tattoo, I wanted a simple black band, no adornment, nothing tribal, or from another culture… I wanted something simple and plain. Turns out simple isn’t easy, or cheap… When it was finished, I loved it immediately, and as I was going home I thought about what more I could do […]
This cake brought to you by my Google Reader friends & Joy The Baker
July 19, 2009 by 12 Comments
So, earlier in the week I saw these posts in my google reader. Of course, I had to give it a try. If for no other reason than to gross out Steve & Leigh. I’m not going to post photos of the baking process, the ‘wet’ ingredients look kinda nasty when you’re putting this together. […]
I’m going to culinary school
July 6, 2009 by 10 Comments
No, really, it’s happening. After wanting this for so long, and been working at trying to make it happen, I’m still having trouble wrapping my brain around this. I keep feeling like some shoe is going to drop, some landmine go off, get hit by a bus, train or insane bicycle messenger, (that last one […]
What were they thinking?

Look, I’m no fashion icon, maven, clotheshorse (or clotheswhore) but I try to make sure I look decent when I leave the house, and it just boggles my brain when people leave their homes looking like well, this. Now, we’re not even going to talk about the tackiness of the bra strap showing like that, […]
Buttermilk Cake

I came across this recipe for Raspberry Buttermilk Cake in Gourmet Magazine, and not having any 9″ round pans I decided to see if I could use another pan and get good results, so off to the Google I went, where I found the ever helpful Old Farmer’s Almanac and their handy Pan Sizes and […]

When “Vegan” isn’t…
June 29, 2009 by Leave a Comment
Okay, we all know I’m not a vegan, not by any stretch of the imagination. But I think we all know that I believe food should be what it purports to be. Some vegans in Los Angeles think that too and they’ve done some serious investigating of local “Vegan” restaurants, and no surprise (to me) […]
Bumpy moves

So much for a smooth transistion from one host to another, there have been some bumps in the road, and the site may look funky until they’re sorted. Some customization was lost in the transition, and since I’ve been having serious issues with my RSS feed, I decided to nuke the entire RSS feed and […]
My Times
April 15, 2009 by 3 Comments
Anyone who’s spent more than a couple of minutes talking to me will walk away knowing two things; I love Los Angeles and I miss my home greatly. No I wasn’t born there, nor did I grow up there. I moved there 5 days after I turned 20, having fallen in love with the city […]
