three layers of goodness: goodeats
I'm usually not a fan of sweets, but I've been craving something to satiate my sweet tooth this week. One of my favorite cakes is the Triple Berry Shortcake from Sweet Lady Jane Bakery on Melrose. It's a yellow butter cake filled with three layers of slightly sweetened whipped cream and fresh blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries. Frosting kills cake, but whipped cream...that's what really makes this cake delicious.
If you're ever in need of a delicious cake, check out the triple berry shortcake from the sweetest lady in town, it's a little pricey but oh so worth it.

I have a mild obsession with awesome covers. Here are a few favorites:
Madonna & Massive Attack covering Marvin Gaye- I Want You
Bilal covering Radiohead- High & Dry
Seu Jorge covering David Bowie- Life on Mars from The Life Aquatic
up there with the originals in my opinion

Ginger me Seabass! goodeats
After two weeks of eating whatever I saw, a healthy dinner was in order. We decided to go with ginger sea bass and Japanese style cold soba noodles. Cold soba noodles is one of my favorite summer dishes, light & fresh with great texture thanks to the thick buckwheat noodles and grated daikon..and since it's hitting high 70's in LA in January, I guess cold soba noodles can be a year round favorite. The fish recipe was sent to me via one of those recipe chain mails (they really work if everyone participates, ahem). We added a few ingredients and also steamed it differently. You really can't go wrong with sea bass, but this dish is super light so I suggest being liberal with all the ingredients.
Ginger Sea Bass
-sea bass fillets
-grated ginger
-S&P
-sliced garlic
-sliced ginger
-sliced green onion for garnish
-soy sauce
Salt & pepper both sides of the fish. Rub grated ginger generously. Create a foil pouch and line the bottom with sliced ginger and sliced garlic. Place the fish in the pouch and drizzle soy sauce on top. Close the foil pouch and place in steamer for about 12-15 minutes depending on size of the fish. It's finished when it is white and flaky. Garnish with green onion slices.
Japanese Cold Soba Noodles
-buckwheat soba noodles
-soba sauce (found at any Japanese or Korean market)
-grated daikon
-sliced green onion
-wasabe
Cook soba noodles and rinse in cold water. Set aside in serving dish. Combine sauce, wasabe, grated daikon and sliced green onions in separate bowl. Dip soba noodles in sauce bite by bite, yum.
This meal is super quick and easy and is the perfect post gym meal to keep your health kick going!

Eminem's gone Hipster:fat beats
no doubt The XX are a great band... but I cannot take this video seriously! I get it, this song is about the angst of losing a lover, but could this video be any more contrived and awkward? It also doesn't help that the lead singer looks like Eminem. I suggest you cover your eyes and listen...
679:433 Reunion- Lake Tahoe
I was lucky enough to spend a part of the holidays in Lake Tahoe with some of my best friends from college. We were missing a few key players, but partied like it was 2006 all over again...
ok, maybe it wasn't QUITE like 2006...no broken windows and doors, no cops, no hugging the toilet at 3AM, no frantic "WHERE'S INNIE?!" phone calls, no balls on Gabe's face, no "I think I'm dying from alcohol poisoning" speeches and NO requests for Vaseline and swim caps whatsoever. I guess we've grown up since then....
We did manage to play every single drinking game possible and of course the dancing never stopped. Just a few highlights:
