I am so excited to show the new little episodes to the world I might explode!

A Place Called Home is an amazing non-profit organization. The people there are really doing their darndest to make a difference by helping to improve some young people’s lives. Wouldn’t you like to be one of those helpful people?? They might have a job for you! They are looking for a full-time Nutrition Supervisor. The job according to them: “Plans, directs, and controls food services of APCH.  Works in partnership with Master Gardener on Garden to Table Program and oversees the APCH vocational chef apprenticeship program.  The Nutrition Supervisor is responsible for nutrition and dietary components of the fresh and healthy meal program, nutrition education for parents and members, inspiration of APCH members to explore cooking and eating new foods and expanding their cultural and culinary palates, and the upkeep and constant improvement of APCH kitchen facility.” Think you could do it???

Yesterday I was shot doing some crazy kooking on a Yahoo web show called This Week in MOM. We shot in a very nice person named Sabrina’s home. She helped prep the food I was going to fix and she did such a great job! She also happened to have a squeeze bottle to help with some Waffle Pizza we were making, thus, kindof saving the day! Here is a picture she showed me of a Pine Cone Cheese Ball masterpiece she made on another occasion. Nice holiday kooking, Sabrina! So nice meeting you! Thanks for your help!

In respect of Hostess having a hard time, let’s take a small moment and think about snack cakes. Here is an image of a few I crocheted in 1999.

This is a gorgeous golden dragon made of sugar to celebrate the new year! Welcome to the Dragon!

I was asked to be in this show by the great Cathy Callahan. I am excited because money from the sales of the pieces goes to a really great program called LA’s Best. I drew a very strange pie full of bees to show to the world. I like it. Its a little creepy and sort of funny. Come see it (and probably a bunch of other great things!) and say “Hello!” Get more info and purchase tickets HERE.

These pics of gingerbread houses made by two very wonderful yummyfun friends, Ruby and Emmett, are MASTERPIECES in my book. Gorgeous and bright and crazy and full of sugar and heart! The real essence of this holiday! HOLIDAY HIGH FIVE PEOPLE! xoxo

Evan Kleiman. I love her. Oh let me count the ways! 1. She is the host of the great Good Food show on KCRW. 2. She is the owner/chef at Angeli Cafe. 3. She is smart and funny and sweet and interesting and interested. 4. And she is obsessed with PIE. So much so that she now has a new app called Easy As Pie! Download it now and get on the pie train where Evan is the capable and talented captain! All Aboard!!!
