Thoughts, inspiration, balance… and randomness
I am going to venture to guess 99% of you are going to ignore this and any other post about The Bachelorette. So this post is really for the 1% ers. No, not those 1% ers. I missed a couple of weeks of Emily Maynard and crew while I was away in Thailand. I only … Continue reading Bach is Back Bermuda Style
If you had met me four years ago- you probably never would have thought such a statement would have been uttered from these lips.... I love Hermosa. My first impression of Hermosa Beach, CA... "Wow, I am back to the sleeping porch of my college sorority, unable to focus/get sleep/function because I am surrounded by … Continue reading I ♥ Hermosa
One of the days in Ko Samui, we took a three-hour cooking class and learned four native Thai dishes from scratch. I will save your eyeballs (and your appetites) and not post them all at once, but sprinkle them throughout my posts the next few weeks. Today's recipe is for Phad Thai Koong Sod, or … Continue reading iPhad
Thursday night my fishes took me out for a little pre-bday din din at Sugarfish, Brentwood. We all ordered the Trust Me (how very fitting for today's topic), and while I would normally order the same as the Professor, Bella and Lolo- since my little cholesterol discovery, I opted to get the Toro and Salmon … Continue reading I Almost Cheated….
Sweet Beet was the nickname I gave to one of my ex-boyfriends. Thank goodness sweet beets aren't just a dude. As you know, I receive a basket of goodies from Farm Fresh to You every other week. Well, a couple of weeks ago, delivered to my doorstep: a box of beets. Not a beat box, … Continue reading Sweet Beet and the Most Gorgeous Food Video You’ve Ever Seen
Japanese Gardens. Chinese Dim Sum restaurants. Some office buildings. Maybe your house. All places where one may find a beautiful (and endlessly hungry) koi population. According to http://www.koi-pond-guide.com, koi fish symbolize good luck, abundance and perseverance. In Buddhism, they represent courage. Today, koi are considered to be symbolic of advancement materially and spiritually. I think … Continue reading Koil Painting
Went to the Doc this week for my annual check up. I'm a freak about prevention. Doc annually, lady parts annually, dentist three to four cleanings a year, eye doc yearly, stocked supply of Emergen-C. Went through the usual rigmarole for a doc's visit. I'm going to be thirty-five in two weeks, but have felt … Continue reading The Bad Oyster
Ha ha... I totally tricked you into thinking there is a yoga pose called Pastasana. It would probably be in the same asana family as carbohydrasana... because this post is all about PASTA. About ten years ago, I became very interested in fresh pasta. I was living in Seattle, and a little shop popped up … Continue reading Pastasana
I know, it's a stretch. But I wanted to talk about two things today: Heron Pose (Krounchasana) and Drinking Water. If you are from LA (or not from LA, but come to visit) you probably will notice the LA water. Being a Seattle native, I can say, it's not the best water. Most people I … Continue reading Heron Brockovich
I carry these two little cards in my wallet wherever I go. Mainly because I eat out a lot, but also on the occasion when I buy/eat produce or seafood, I like to know what I am buying/eating. Fortunately, for the most part, I get my produce from Farm Fresh to You, an all-organic cooperative … Continue reading Do You Know What You’re Eating?
