Here in LA we’ve got everything from fine dining, to amazing food trucks to pop-up and underground dinners. If you like a good meal, LA’s got you covered. Late one night, two cooks were hanging out at a local bar after their hard night working the dinner shift. They got to thinking that [...]

Priscilla Ahn and Seattle’s Best

LA Blogger Gal — Thu, 05 May 2011 23:55:00 +0000

Last night my husband and I were invited to attend Priscilla Ahn’s record release party at the Village Recorder. It was a fun night and as one would expect, Priscilla put on a great show. Looking through the photo albums while waiting in reception was pretty cool. You see, the Village is famous for recordings [...]

Prince: Opening Night at the LA Forum

LA Blogger Gal — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 22:53:56 +0000

I should start by admitting that I’m not a huge Prince fan. Like most folks my age, I’m a fan of his more known hits from the 80’s, but I can’t say I know much beyond Purple Rain. But I was given the opportunity to join my husband at Prince’s opening night show (show 1 [...]

Are Your Favorite TV Shows on the Chopping Block?

LA Blogger Gal — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 19:00:15 +0000

I’ve gotten to the point these days that I don’t even want to start watching any new shows on the regular channels. I figure half the time, the shows are canceled after only a couple episodes (like Lone Star) or you get sucked into what you think is a great show only to have the [...]

Did You Go To Blogger Prom?

LA Blogger Gal — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 22:08:20 +0000

Last Wednesday was one of the coolest parties in LA, the 2nd annual Blogger Prom. This a big deal and a great way to mingle with other local bloggers. And of course, since it was basically started by a slew of foodie bloggers, you better believe it’s a killer party. Sadly, I wasn’t able to [...]

Bonfire At The Beach: A SoCal Must

LA Blogger Gal — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 19:54:32 +0000

Yesterday was a first for me. It was my very first bonfire at the beach. And it was as cool as I always imagined it would be. It was our youngest niece’s 14th birthday. And instead of sweating it out in the Inland Empire like we typically do, they opted for a day at the beach. [...]
