Because I don’t have enough to keep me busy these days, I’m launching a redesign of la.foodblogging, and we have also moved servers!

Monday, April 28, 2008 12:30 4 Comments

Don’t worry, this isn’t going to become a baby blog. Obviously, my life is consumed with the little one right now, so that’s what is on my mind.

Monday, March 10, 2008 8:05 2 Comments

GOOD, a magazine founded and published here in Los Angeles, came out with their GOOD FOOD issue. I couldn’t agree more on their cheap eats feature, called America’s Tastiest Streets, when they say:
