Srirachacha
I went on a tour of the Sriracha factory with my family. They had this giant bin of their peppers by the door with a sign that read “Take One”. I began stuffing them into my purse (it wasn’t nearly large enough) and in the pockets of my children. My husband, he took one. Upon…
Pink Eggs & Ham
This is a variation on an appetizer that I had at a wonderful farm to fork style restaurant in Downtown LA called The Blue Cow Kitchen. You will want to make plenty of these as they will go fast! If you are having 8 friends over, I would suggest making the entire dozen (24 halves)….
Limoncello Mousse Shooters
Limoncello Dessert “Shooters” Let me begin by saying that these are “shooters” only in the sense that they are served in a shot or cordial glass. They will be eaten with a small spoon. I love limoncello! So much so, that a shot (or two) would be completely sufficient as dessert as far as I’m…
Fresh as a Daisy Lemon Bowl
Fresh as a Daisy Lemon Bowl This is good stuff right here, people. This centerpiece is remarkably easy, especially when you consider the impact it will have on your table’s decor. I do this myself fairly often. Even though I have the ability to create just about any centerpiece I like, after years of doing…
Easy vs. Complicated
I read an article recently that explained “Why men don’t choose complicated women”. It’s stuck with me a bit… I think I’m a complicated woman, and I’ve been chosen so… I mean, sure, we chose each other but still. The article referred to the relationship between Carrie Bradshaw and Mr Big, and how he chose…
Meninism isn’t “a thing”. Hashtag that.
I’ve been seeing a lot of memes rolling around out there that are hash tagged #meninism. They usually involve women acting stupid or obscene with an incapacitated man. I do not condone any behavior that is meant specifically to humiliate or degrade anyone…. But meninism? C’mon guys what is that about? Are you feeling a…
I miss my friend…
I once knew a quirky girl, she was very loud and boisterous… She also became part of who I am. My best friend of 25 years passed away, one year ago today. It doesn’t even seem possible. I miss her terribly. I miss her hand in my life, but more importantly in the lives of…
I am raising two Mama’s Boys… and proud of it!
What comes to mind when you hear the term “mama’s boy”? Is it a sissy still clinging to an apron string? Maybe it conjures up an image of a crybaby on the ball field? Well, I’m raising two mama’s boys and I’d like to explain why that’s a GOOD thing. For starters, who better to…
From Rock n’ Roll to Rock Bottom: A Story of “ya’ never know”
I have friends from all walks of life… Including… duh duh duuuuuhhhh CONSERVATIVES. If you’re at all familiar with my point of view, you’ve probably noticed that I’m not. That’s not to say that I’m purely left, bleeding heart, liberal either. I lean a bit to the right on a number of issues. Publicly poor…
Up In Smoke: Confessions of a Pot Smoking Mom
There’s a stigma attached to the use of marijuana. It’s different than it was say, 20 years ago but it’s still not widely accepted as “no big deal”… Like it should be. The image of dirty hippies in a field climbing out of their psychedelic school bus, with their naked children and daisy chains. The…
MUSIC: Eat, Sleep, Breathe, Repeat
In the last four years of our lives, my husband has been making a concerted effort to hone his skills as a singer/songwriter. It’s not been an easy road to navigate. As his “handler” I feel the weight of his insecurities, sometimes more than I should. I feel his triumphs and his failures as if…
