All This For $3.00!!!
January 24th, 2009 — eat & drink, photos
Seriously. Everything you see cost only $3.26. This same stash would cost about $15 or $20 at my local farmer’s market.
Those bananas there…$1.07! That head of romaine…only $.69! Romaine cost me about $1.50 at the farmer’s market (usually for a smaller bunch) and $1.99 or so at the [...]
It’s Christmas Eve and I Just Got Back From the Grocery Store
December 24th, 2008 — eat & drink, family, life, the hubby
And yes, it was pure insanity. Luckily, I prepared myself for the grumpy crowds and just soared above in my bliss. Well okay, it might not have been bliss per se, but it was definitely not bah humbuggedness. I often wonder who is crazy enough to do their holiday food shopping the day before. Now [...]

Making the Christmas Cookies
December 13th, 2008 — eat & drink, the hubby
Will someone kindly tell my cat (and his partner in crime, the dog) that cats do not like raw chocolate chip cookie dough? Please. He’s driving me nuts. Everything I get my hands in the batter to drop the cookies, he comes running into the kitchen meowing up a storm (all while the dog is [...]
‘Tis the Season For Holiday Parties
December 12th, 2008 — eat & drink, music, the hubby
I never really got to experience the mythical Holiday Office Party. When I was a young’un, I worked in retail and well, that’s the busiest time of the year so no holiday party for you! When I was a teacher, the official holiday party was held during the school day, in the library – not [...]
Get the First Aid Kit Ready, ‘Cuz Mama’s Gonna Cook
November 30th, 2008 — eat & drink, life lessons, the boys
Those are the very words that just came from my husband’s mouth. This would be quite funny, as I’m a pretty decent cook and baker, but sadly, I have the wounds to support this statement. Let me recap for you…
Thanksgiving Day
I broke one of the Reidel wine glasses because I wasn’t thinking, plain and simply. [...]
Can You Say Brrrzy & You Paid What?!?! Edition

Part One: Can You Say Brrrzy?
It’s official…we’ve reached fall here in greater Los Angeles. The Santa Anas have come to play, leaves are blowing every which way, the valley is clear as can be and the windows are closed. Mind you, I have no idea how we go for 100 degree days to 69 degrees [...]
Talk About a Stupid Mistake
September 30th, 2008 — eat & drink, life lessons
So yesterday I went to the grocery store to pick up some veggies for my caccitori and to pick up some meat for dinners this week. When I got home, I immediately went to town chopping the veggies since the chicken had been in the crockpot for a bit already.
Turns out I totally forgot about [...]
I’m Getting a New Stove!!!
September 14th, 2008 — eat & drink, life
Such excitement here in LA Blogger Gal land. We’ve been without a working oven since the spring. And yes, our landlord has known. And no, he didn’t put it off until now.
You see, we have no air conditioning here in our apartment (we use a wall unit in the living room which ONLY reaches the [...]
Why Isn’t Sushi Bite-Sized?
September 10th, 2008 — eat & drink, friends, launch
No really? I don’t get it. In all honesty, I’m not a native Californian gal and never even had sushi until about 6 or so years ago. Even then it was only California rolls (I love those things!). I slowly progressed to spicy tuna rolls. Yes, still rolls.
To be totally and completely honest, I just [...]
