Turkey Chili Yummyness

December 3, 2014 by nycredhead2021

One of the easiest best dinners and party dishes for Winter. So it’s finally raining in Los Angeles and that means Winter to me and winter means Turkey Chili. I made this last night and it’s the best, yummyest, hits the spot, cozy din-din. Also great for a party. Make a chili bar and have everyone create their bowl… cheese, onions, sour cream, cilantro, chips, jalapenos… and Beer! Yummm. Turkey Chili 1.5 pounds of ground dark turkey 1 onion […]

I’m drought resistant, are you?

November 24, 2014 by nycredhead2021

Gardening is my meditation. It renews me, calms me, uplifts my mood. The dirtier I get, the happier I am. I live in Los Angeles with a no rain situation. Watering a garden is not a good idea. Lawns, uh-uh. Flower beds, out. That was all ok because we moved about six months ago and the ground floor, super pretty, large rooms, with plenty of closets and a great kitchen, had no garden. NO GARDEN. 😦 It does have […]

Psycho or Psychic?

November 3, 2014 by nycredhead2021

Last night I saw Birdman. And although I agree with the world that Michael Keaton is phenomenal and left it all on the stage, as they say and Emma Stone and especially Naomi Watts whom I’ve never fallen for before, blew me away – I didn’t love the movie.I did however love the female message. That we are all weak in the presence of insane narcissistic, creative and adorable men, but we will kick and scream about our plight […]

When Beauty is Art

October 3, 2014 by nycredhead2021

He’s known as Angel, some say he is just that. “I trust him with my life,” I heard someone say the other day. “He’s the only person that will ever come near this,” another said pointing to her right eyebrow. Yes, Angel is a threading God. Way more that a man with string in his mouth, skilled at the ancient East Indian art of hair removal. He is an artist, And not like the adopted label, coined by every […]

Dear New York, I’m falling for you.

October 1, 2014 by nycredhead2021

Dear New York, It’s October, Officially Fall, Autumn – my favorite, fave time of the year. I see you, in my mind’s eye and feel you in my heart. That breeze as I turn the corner onto any street facing west. I’m making my way toward my oasis, Central Park, to see the strat of leaves turning and take in the yummy stench of roasting chestnuts and the newer sweet nuts, on street carts. You love that they are there […]

Say Uncle

August 19, 2014 by nycredhead2021

My uncle Manny walked me down the aisle at my wedding. He came from Israel with his fantastic wife, Aunt Margo. It was a great day. Manny was the funniest guy I knew, besides my father. As a kid, I’d here them making jokes and laughing their asses off, always amusing each other. He was a notorious bachelor and we worried about him… until he married Margo and her 4 kids. Our families are in love and today we […]
