Siberian Freeze



It's going to be a cold one this weekend, and by "cold one" I don't mean an icy cold Corona with a slice of lime. No. It's going to be super cold in Sacramento.

Weather advisory


Last night, in order to celebrate staying indoors and warm, and to commemorate my Russian/Hungarian/Romanian heritage, I made a huge pot of Borscht...just like grandma never made. It took forever to chop up all the vegetables (beets, potatoes, parsnip, carrot, celery root, onions) but it was sooo good, and I made so much I'll be eating it for the next week or so.

Sorry...slow news day



Looks like I'll have to resort to one of those "what [famous fictional/non-fictional character] are you?" quizzes. Unless you want me to go into great detail about having MSG trigger the gout yesterday after lunch.

Just wanna give a shout out to midtown monthly for using my picture of C.A. (even thought they didn't bother giving me a shout out as contributing photographer...don't they know I have a huge ego that needs constant nurturing as an aspiring band photographer?)

anyhooo...

Happy new year!
