Reviewing Imperia Caviar
Social media algorithms are interesting. Large amounts of combined personal data from numerous individuals is aggregated in order to target ads and other posts. Sometimes these algorithms are way off and sometimes they're spot on. It may feel like an intrusion into our lives, and to an extent it is, but at least the same time, it's almost like having a 24/7 concierge service that constantly provides recommendations.

Hot Sauce and I Have a Love/Hate Relationship
I put sriracha on everything. Well, mostly everything. Like candy, for example, there are some things that it just wouldn't go with, in my opinion. But, I put it on pizza, spaghetti, and even salads to give them a little extra kick they wouldn't otherwise have.

The Smoke(ing) Gun
Most of my working life has been spent in restaurants and bars. In over a decade in the industry, my love for the culinary arts has never waned, even if the directions I've gone with that passion have changed course more than a few times. Recently the focus of my efforts has been on the small, simple things that find themselves on almost every plate. With that in mind there is no better place to start than salt.

Express Espresso
The smell of coffee, the social engagement which accompanies drinking it. The romance of the poet, writing his heart onto the paper, being kept alert, by his cup of coffee. The stronger the better. The Paris cafe, the beret hat. I guess it is not surprising that when I got older I was seduced by the desire to experiment with coffee. I never liked it black and I had learned as a child that it was no good mixed with a half a cup of milk. The way my mother made it for me when we went to social engagements. I quickly learned that sugar does not usually complement the taste of the brew. And yes I did drink it when I wrote, and no , it didn't make me more creative. Coffee in inexpensive dives was often watery, so I aimed to go were the flavor would be richer, and unfortunately more expensive.

A Nut-Milker's Dream Come True
As an avid zero-waster it pained me each week to reach for that carton of almond milk from the grocery store dairy aisle. It felt as if the naysayers of the community were peaking around corners tsk-tsk'ing at my waxed-cardboard carton of deliciousness. Of course that likely wasn't the case, but I felt like an imposter who openly shares my views of cutting back household waste and then (not even discretely) adding wasteful packaging to my very own grocery cart. BUT - smoothies... am I right? I couldn't just cut almond milk out of my life. It was my one Achilles' heel in the zero-waste world.

Mouthwatering Cakes, Please Stop Following Me Around the Internet
Dear Goldbelly, You’ve got to know I’ve gained nineteen pounds during COVID. You’ve got to know I’m stuck at home, self-isolating as I wait for that last Moderna shot to make me fully vaccinated. You’ve got to know I’m missing my hometown of Los Angeles so much, and that’s why you keep showing me ads with those adorable little Cakewiches from Cake Monkey on Beverly Boulevard, and the irresistible Burnt Ends BBQ kit from Ugly Drum. I respectfully request you quit toying with my deep-seated food cravings or else I’ll need to ask my nutritionist to send a cease and desist letter. Sincerely, Me

I (Finally) Tried an Air Fryer and I Am Loving It
Until a few years ago, I was never a fan of exercising, workouts, aerobics, Zumba, Pumba, or whatever else you call it. I, being a writer, the most important activity for me was to exercise the “little grey” cells of my brain so that I can churn read-worthy articles day after day. My entire free time had a set agenda: sit, munch, write, and repeat………in that order.
