If for some reason, though one struggles to imagine what that reason might be, you neglected your patriotic duty to eat a weiner, fear not, … Continue reading Dog Day Afternoon
Finding the best lobster roll has been an ongoing quest for my tastebuds for almost 8 years of living in Los Angeles. Something so simple that can be done so right, can be done so wrong. In the last few years, LA has seen several new lobster spots open up, to my joy. I grew up in Connecticut ordering “hot” or “cold.” Los Angeles has … Continue reading Best Lobster Rolls in LA

My evenings were fun having my mom to take to so many events, but at the … Continue reading Eggs Frozen – Great Possibilities

The top mixologists and chefs donned the Sony Pictures lot in Culver City last night, in support of the American Cancer Society.

I didn’t know who Miguel was until a few months ago when Lenny Kravitz handed him a mic at the Fonda Theare. He belted out “Let Love Rule” to a frenzied audience and I was blown away by his voice. A few days later I met him at a party in Venice next to Gjelina and was happy to tell him how I much I … Continue reading Miguel performs at Sonos Studio
No one needs a Facebook Diet more than me. I blame it on living alone. It’s what you do when you wake up, go to bed, or are standing in line bored. Did you know single people spend more time on Facebook and post more than people who are coupled?
