I haven’t done it much here, but in my not so distant past, it wasn’t uncommon for me to create massive lists of various contests. And lucky me, [...]

I was listening to my favorite podcasts the other day (Tranquility du Jour) and the guests being interviewed mentioned that she does a regular feature called Friday Finds. Unfortunately, I’m listening to about 6 months worth of podcasts out of order, so I can’t find who it was that was being interviewed. But I [...]

LA Blogger Gal — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 01:12:27 +0000

I have a love/hate relationship with Mark Bittman. I think he’s a cool enough guy. I enjoy reading his blog in the NY Times. I use his How to Cook Everything: Simple Recipes for Great Food cookbook when I need quickie steps on how to cook something correctly (like tonight’s tomorrow’s zucchini). But sometimes he just [...]

Jamie Oliver at TED: Teach Every Child About Food

LA Blogger Gal — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 00:06:13 +0000

A friend shared this on Facebook, and I took a moment to site down and watch it. It’s taken a while, but it’s all finally starting to sink in. I’ve been working on getting off of artificial sweeteners myself. I”m to the point that I’m not adding it to my tea and coffee, but it still [...]

This weekend the world famous Hollywood sign went a different way and tried some activism on for size. The event was to publicize efforts to raise money to acquire Cahuenga Peak, the 138-acre parcel just to the west of the sign, and add the land to Griffith Park.
