Art festival in a special place

The Pasadena Waldorf School is hosting its second annual Festival of Art on Saturday, April 25, 2009, 10 am to 5 pm.  I’ve been curious about Waldorf schools ever since I read that its students learn how to knit and weave even before writing.  The thinking behind this is if a student knows how to [...]

Check out people from the library

Santa Monica Library is letting borrowers check out real live people!

What a great idea!  I kinda am interested in talking to the ex-gang member.

Spa Week is back

$50 spa treatments during Spa Week, April 13 – 19.

To find a spa near you, go to www.spaweek.com.

Eat for Pennies

Hop Li in Arcadia is currently running a $1.38 dim sum promotion (Monday through Friday) celebrating its 4th anniversary. Hop Li is one of my favorite dim sum places because there’s usually no line.  I hate waiting in line for dim sum.  Sure, you might think the no line is a bad sign but it’s [...]

This looks tasty!

Indian sandwiches or naanwiches!  I’ll have to stop by this place next time I’m in the Miracle Mile.  I read about this on EatingLA.com.  I tried to do a direct link to her post about the Cowboys & Turbans restaurant but I couldn’t figure out how to do it.  Cowboys and Turbans serves Indian street [...]

Limp Lettuce Found Again at Fresh & Easy

I got the Greek salad from Fresh and Easy and it was very disappointing – just some hacked up leaves thrown haphazardly in a container. (Trader Joe’s has much better salad presentation.) The leaves did not remain fresh for longer than a day despite the freshness date on the package.  Is this because Fresh and [...]

BBQ for $5 at Whole Foods

Can a cheap meal be had at Whole Foods?  As I get to know its second floor eating area better, I think I can say….Yes.  The breakfasts, tacos, and Middle Eastern food all seemed reasonably priced.  Then I saw this on WF’s (Arroyo Parkway location) calendar:

Saturday March 21st and Sunday 22nd

Whole Lotta BBQ! [...]
