MAYBE IF I WROTE A FOOD BLOG, YOU’D READ IT.

MAYBE IF I WROTE A FOOD BLOG, YOU’D READ IT.

“Maybe if I wrote about the ‘Top 10 Reasons You Should Get an iPhone’, I’d get more hits on my blog,” I said to my boyfriend tonight. There are times I wonder about this blog: Why the fuck would anyone want to read it? Who cares? It should be more topical. I thought about how [...]

ANTHONY BOURDAIN AND ERIC RIPERT, A REASON TO BE TURNED ON.

ANTHONY BOURDAIN AND ERIC RIPERT, A REASON TO BE TURNED ON.

I found myself thoroughly turned on watching Anthony Bourdain’s 100th episode of “No Reservations”. Bourdain brought along heartthrob chef, Eric Ripert (Le Bernadin and “Top Chef”), as his co-host to explore the local food movement in Paris, France. Some girls love Robert Pattinson, some girls love Johnny Depp, but I’ll take Eric Ripert anytime. It wasn’t until I [...]

TOP 10 PERIOD FOODS (X-RATED VERSION)

TOP 10 PERIOD FOODS (X-RATED VERSION)

I just microwaved a plate of pretzels covered with string cheese and bananas. Am I high? No, I have my period. A plate of pretzels, melted banana with cheese plus a can Diet Rite and you got the perfect combination of salt, fat and sweet. You may be thinking: “That’s disgusting,” or, “Jamie sounds like white [...]

SABICH: A DELIGHTFUL MIDDLE EASTERN SANDWICH

SABICH: A DELIGHTFUL MIDDLE EASTERN SANDWICH

I just Googled “hummus.” That’s what happens when I’m bored and eating hummus, and I stumbled upon the “sabich sandwich.” I hate the word “yummy” (oh god I hate that word. There’s a yoga place in Los Feliz called “Yummy Yoga,” and I wince when I drive by it. I want to blow it up…is that [...]

ENOUGH TALKING ABOUT MY RELATIONSHIP, LET’S TALK ABOUT BEING A VEGAN

ENOUGH TALKING ABOUT MY RELATIONSHIP, LET’S TALK ABOUT BEING A VEGAN

I think I just lost my male readers. Here’s the thing: I feel wicked unhealthy. Usually when I start a relationship, I work out a lot, eat well and dance around like a lunatic in love naked in the mirror and fantasize about my future strip routines. Well, that’s not really the case now. I’ve [...]

WRITING THE BANAL DAILY DRIVEL

WRITING THE BANAL DAILY DRIVEL

This is a blog. By nature it feels like one should write a blog daily. The problem is that I write essays and I fear watering them down with daily drivels about random things, yet I may be underestimating the potential of this blog. I don’t want this to become my “The Artist’s Way” Morning [...]

I WAS TIRED…UNTIL I MASTURBATED.

I WAS TIRED…UNTIL I MASTURBATED.

Way to make my blog seem like a porn site! But it’s true. It’s amazing how 5 minutes can make one feel so different. (I was just thinking while editing this post: is any normal person going to want to date me? Imagine if their parents saw this blog? Well, I guess I have to [...]

Goodbye sweet Lyon. I will miss you. I have about twenty posts waiting to be published with little facts and pictures about Lyon. It’s an amazing city and I will surely be back!

FRENCH FOOD AND MY MOTHER

FRENCH FOOD AND MY MOTHER

In four days, I leave Los Angeles for Lyon, France. I can’t believe it. I promised that I would blog everyday until the trip is over. Let’s see if I can do it. So, with that promise, comes “the writing” before I leave. Even if it’s shit, dribble, lists of stuff I have to do, [...]

OVEREATERS ANONYMOUS AND ME

OVEREATERS ANONYMOUS AND ME

“I think I want to go to Overeaters Anonymous,” I said to my therapist today. We had a lull in our session, and I was searching for issues to talk about. “Why?” she asked. “I don’t know. I overeat.” “They’d laugh you out,” she said. “Why?” “You’re not overweight. You’re not fat.” “You don’t have [...]

IT’S HARD TO WRITE ABOUT PORN WHEN YOU’RE HUNGRY

IT’S HARD TO WRITE ABOUT PORN WHEN YOU’RE HUNGRY

I’ve been trying a new diet. Not “diet” in the sense of “eating less,” but rather shifting the way I eat. My biggest problem is protein. I’ve never been a big meat-eater, and I was actually a vegetarian and then vegan for many years. Even though I eat pretty healthy – mostly organic and tons [...]

HAPPY EASTER!

HAPPY EASTER!

“What kind of bikini is that and where can I get one?” Well, Macy’s doesn’t sell it. I made that Peep bikini top. Glued those suckers on and now it’s in my freezer so it doesn’t spoil. It’s actually from my calendar “The Year of the Jewish Woman.” About a year ago, I wrote a really [...]
