- Raw Log Day 004: Coffee and Cheeseburgers After almost 4 days of doing about 95% raw foods, I’m feeling sprightly. I’m digging how this 31 day challenge makes eating so simple. I need more simplicity in all of my layered patterns of life. Also. I still think about cheeseburgers. Sometimes at breakfast. Have any of you ever done a raw food (or […]
- Raw Log Day 001: Foggy Brain / Open Heart Here is what I’ve learned from Day 001 of raw food goodness. 1. It is entirely more fun to do these things with friends…far, far better, in fact. 2. My brain feels a tad foggy, but my heart is wide open. 3. I decided to camp out in these words this month – you […]
- Eating Plants Make Thee Strong 101; Or, I Made Myself a Syllabus for the Month I really don’t enjoy things unless I’m researching them as I go. So I made myself a syllabus for this 31-day Raw Foods push. Some of these books I’ve been wanting to read for awhile – especially the Michael Pollan best-sellers. I’m also a newbie marathoner (2 finishes in the 5.5 hr range), so many […]

- In December, Drinking Horchata! – Recipe Experimentation [Part 1] I’m experimenting with a homemade horchata recipe here on the East coast, to bring a little East LA flavor to our open house on Sunday. My recipe will include agave. Who doesn’t love agave? If all goes well, I’ll use this same recipe for our New Years Eve party on Monday. (Yes, you are invited.) […]
- Roadtrip – Leg Vegas part Two (Oh, Lotus of Siam) Our one evening in Vegas was quite fruitful. We had the good fortune of being pointed towards an often-reviewed but totaaly hidden Thai placed called Lotus of Siam. The place was plastered ceiling to floor with awards and reviews, but was still incredibly inexpensive. We tried some new dishes and agreed after two and a […]
- Ingredients for Late-Night Projects, So Long Overdue Late-night brainfood, as influenced by one year in California: 1 Organic Whole Wheat + Olive Oil Wrap from Trader Joes, warmed in skillet Herbed Goat Cheese Heaps of Sprouts A touch of sour cherry jam Wrapped up and served with Mission tortilla chippies, washed down with one non-chill iTunes playlist, to keep the synapses firing.
- It was Good. I made a tasty lunch today. Wish you were here. Grilled goat-cheese sandwich and greens with iced blueberry blackberry infusion tea.
- Unpicked, Day eight. Before I moved to L.A. I didn’t know a thing about the Chinese New Year. Now I think I will forever associate February with dumplings and pot-stickers. (And those little red envelopes that could be stuffed with cash.) On day eight, as I arrived at my third Chinese New Year party in one week, the […]
- day nineteen.
- day nine.
- 2 Months in California Happy December. 2 months ago, I was boarding a plane for California. To commemorate this nice anniversary, I took Bruce Klein out on a date to In-N-Out Burger. (He just turned 10.) It was my birthday present to him. He was very excited for our date. I liked that. Me: “You can’t get In-N-Out just […]
