I don’t make it over to Silver Lake / Echo Park much anymore – it lost some of its allure once it got too trendy to find parking. But I’ve had it in mind lately to make a field trip to the new Lot 1 restaurant ever since I got a rave recommendation [...]

Soup weather in Los Angeles!
Posted in Farmers' Market, Food, Judy Rodgers, Los Angeles, POST, Recipes, Ribollita, River Cafe Cookbook, Zuni Cafe Cookbook, cavolo nero, cranberry beans on November 12, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
After weeks of hot winds, fires, and relentless sunshine (in L.A. there can be such a thing) it is cold enough today to turn the heater on. This is in addition to the extra layers of clothing and the warm slippers.
Finally the weather cooperates with my favorite convergence at the Farmers’ Market: fresh cranberry beans [...]
The dog days are upon us…

I’ve been away from my blog for a bit – as those of you, my silent readers who never comment – must have noticed. It’s been a challenging 10 days. The temperature has been in the triple digits since last weekend, and the humidity is relentless. The skies are brown from smog and [...]
Becks and Posh! Posh and Becks!

Girlfriend looks as though she could use some dinner. I wonder if she would need to book a month in advance to get into Pizzeria Mozza the way I did. Pizzeria Mozza, in case you’ve been too busy analyzing the war in Iraq or something is the lovechild of L.A. foodie darling Nancy Silverton and [...]
It’s the Fourth of July
Posted in Fourth of July, Life, Los Angeles, Martin Amis, POST, Paul Simon, Personal on July 5, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
It’s Fourth of July and anyone in Los Angeles heading to see fireworks had better already be there. I can hear the first crackles and pops from Universal Studio’s display, and if I try, I could maybe see some twinkling star fire above my neighbors’ tree tops. But I’m not of a mind to angle [...]
Longest day of the year…
Posted in Los Angeles, POST on June 22, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I was useless at work, but so what? The air is clean and fragrant, the sky is cloudless and blue, and the breeze cools the hot sun. Drove home with my shoes off and the sunroof open. It honestly doesn’t get much better than this, and it won’t last. The drive was [...]
Peonies, Parsons, Springtime at the Sunday Market
Posted in Farmers' Market, Los Angeles, POST, Peonies, Recipes, Russ Parsons, Sustainable farming on June 3, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
It’s Sunday and spring has officially arrived at the market. Perhaps even more than for the cherries and apricots, I get there early to grab a few fragrant bunches of peonies from Ha’s Farm. Peonies are very expensive in Southern California. They require a hard freeze in the winter so they are scarce. [...]
Lounge preferences among apartment dwellers in Marina Del Rey
Posted in Amy Scattergood's Pavlova, Los Angeles, POST, Recipes on May 29, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Leslie has a high rise apartment overlooking the Marina and fun friends, so her parties are always worth making the trek down the 405. She invited a group over on Memorial Day to lounge on her patio overlooking the Marina, and then lounge by the pool, and then lounge some more on the [...]
On and about L.A., part deux
Posted in Blogroll, Los Angeles, POST, Sylvie Guillem, dance on May 6, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Last Wednesday, I went to Royce Hall, on the UCLA campus, to see Sylvie Guillem and Akram Khan perform a 75 minute work they call Sacred Monsters.
They are as unlikely a pair as could be. Guillem is the famous French Prima Ballerina discovered by Rudolph Nureyev, and Khan is a British-Asian dancer and choreographer known [...]
