A Weekend of Food and Basketball

When two of your favorite things in the world consist of basketball and food is there a better way to spend your weekend than running between the kitchen and the living room cooking and watching playoff basketball?

Is the fact that it’s Monday a perfect excuse to start your weekend blog post with multiple run-on sentences ending with question marks?

Saturday: Homemade spring rolls, cioppino stew and Inca Kola.

Tortelloni w/ a pancetta red sauce a top a crusted garlic bread.

Fresh poke bowl.

And of course there was the Clippers “epic” comeback in Memphis to cap off Sunday night which sent my iPhone battery from about 20% to dead with-in the course of 5 minutes.

School of Seven Bells

Caught School of Seven Bells at The Echoplex last night. Good show. They played my song (“Half Asleep”) for the encore — so I left happy as a clam.

Alejandra Deheza is easy on the eyes:

Cioppino o’ Clock

Started with some cheap frozen mussels, scallop and pollock. Added white wine, olive oil and tomatoes. Worked in some dried spices and celery… 15 minutes later I had a hearty cioppino for a cold, wet afternoon meal.

Walking on a Dream

I parked my car this morning, grabbed my bag, locked the door and began to head towards the office when a wizard, yes a freakin wizard (with a wand) attempted to cast a spell on me. He spoke in some sort of language that appeared to be a cross between Latin, Tagalog and an Eastern European spin-off of Russian.

As I turned and ran towards the stairs exiting the parking lot, I saw a woman on stilts and a pack of ninjas with swords. I frantically pushed the crosswalk button and began to walk steadily. I pinched myself to see if I was still asleep, was I walking on a dream? No. I was at L.A. Live home of the 2010 Anime Expo from July 1 - 4.

So just a heads up, if you’re planning on making a Starbucks run this AM at L.A. Live, you might have to fend off people with swords, light sabers and girls in 12” platforms ala Lady Gaga.
