What Color is Your Aura?
Blues are the most caring, nurturing and protective personalities in the color-spectrum. They live out of their hearts and their emotions. Their life purpose is to serve, help and love others. Blues have an inner knowledge and wisdom and they feel and know what is right without needing facts or data for substantiation. The moment [...]
Foodie Week In Review
I used to think Sabra was a tasty hummus but that was before I personalized a garlic-laden recipe I deemed Apotropaichummus. Store-bought can’t ward off evil at the level I require.These moist and delicious blueberry-banana muffins are very healthy. A mere 2 Tbsp of sweetener and fat, organic granulated sugar and Earth Balance respectively. I [...]
I’ve Been Thinking of: Male Zealots
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow Roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars, [...]
Laser Guided Melodies
The Pacific Science Center in Seattle offers evenings of laser Beatles, Nine Inch Nails, Queen, Zeppelin, Radiohead and Sublime (?), as well as Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall Floyd shows. View the spectacular visuals of the prestigious Laser artist (and my subtly discernible cackling in the background) here on my bootleg.
Fox In the Snow: X-Files Midnight Madness
Seeing the new X-files movie on opening morning at the midnight showing, I expected I’d be in good company. Mulders & Scullys scattered about the theater, we waited for our old friends. And we were not dissappointed. This movie is for X-files fans and Chris Carter took every chance to delight us, even after the [...]
Olive Kitchen Challenge
After weeks of jet-setting, my kitchen has been severely neglected. What better way to immerse myself back into self-sufficiency then to undertake a complicated recipe while extremely undernourished and tired. So the beau and I headed to the local grocer, list in hand, still a bit stunned from city hopping. Brooklyn seemed surreal, like a [...]
Live In Chicago | Rusticate the City
I spent this past weekend in Chicago, Illinois for the annual Pitchfork festival, the nation’s best summer music festival. Besides the great line-up of artists, Pitchfork covers all the bases of the top-notch outdoor festival, satisfying a finicky gal concerned with sustainability and quality: a spacious location close to the El train with lots of [...]
Chicago Diner
I had been to the famous Chicago Diner years ago, back when my taste buds were less sophisticated and my veganism less creative. But this time around I was able to appreciate its broad selection of eats and amazing sweet treats more thoroughly. The Buffalo wings (below) were amazing, right down to the thick and [...]

Vegan Perfection in Portland
Nutshell in Portland is absolutely delicious. For starters, the menu of fresh breads, upscale olive oils and salts (top left and right): mmmmm. My entree (bottom left, crispy risotto cakes: local asparagus, saffron onions, lemon aioli & arugula) was so flavorful I lost a few taste buds in tragic romantic fashion. The Margarita flatbread (with [...]
A Vegan in Seattle: the good, the bad & the ugly
My love don’t come easy. But Mighty O had me at “hello, what can I get for you?”… Knocking my socks off was their simple perfection- that they’re actually donuts: not just circular. New York has no answer to Mighty O. In a rare feat, coniferous trumps deciduous.Just how do they make heaven on Earth? [...]
Pretty Boy(s) from North Carolina
I like to write a lot. In fact, I like to write so much that sometimes I feel pressured to enrich my life in order to expound upon what I experience …through writing. So I wanted to see the Avett Brothers for free at Rockefeller Park, near Battery Park tonight. Even packed a picnic for [...]
