Earth Oven Series w/Company of Khanh and friends...

-
In collaboration with Music Tastes Good, (Festival)  Khanh Hoang, the pop-up dinner chef who created Company of Khanh, brought her multicultural culinary flair to Long Beach with her Palestinian and Turkish inspired flat breads apresented at the unique Earth Oven Series along with  Beachwood Brewery,  and Arturo Alonzo Enciso from the wood-fired micro-bakery Emmylou Cob which operates out of Long Beach, CA.








The pop-up culinary event was presented in association with Abbie Fischel of Music Tastes Good Festival, a two day festival event in Long Beach at the end of the month which carries forward a similar vibe of culture, community, food and music to be celebrated in DTLB late Sept. And to celebrate American diversity and the culture of community Music Tastes Good has invited New Orleans, Louisiana chefs to collaborate for the MTG event in late September.  

This news is all music to my ears, since I was born in the Big Easy and still think it represents much of the best, most iconoclastic of truly American food. Can't wait till for this year's festival! plus they feature on of my personal favorite dance bands, since saw them at FYF, "!!!" (Pronounced "Chk, chk, chk" - Check 'em out here.   This year's festival is just gonna be to too much good under one concept!  But, I’m digressing, now:  Back to this weekend.

After our delicious meal, presented as a seamless flow of culinary chapters, we were treated lovely tunes and performance by amazing singer, songwriter, Alyssandra Nighswonger, who blew us away with talent.

A truly inspiring night of community, music and unique palate-pleasing discoveries all woven together along with wonderful conversation and candlelight.

Last night I made my way up and out of Orange County to go see Mysterious Skin, written by Prince Gomolvilas now enjoying it's Los Angeles premiere at East West Players. ***Note:  I am not a reviewer.  I am not a critic.  (I married one, which is why I can say with confidence, I am not this.  If you want real reviews of Mysterious Skin  you'll have to look to other publications wise enough to have send their press in to cover this show now running at East West Players.) Me? Currently, I am just an Orange County mom who loves theater almost as much as she loves writing.  (True, I used to act, but now I just "mom."  And I write.  But, again to clarify: Not a critic.) And these her blogged thoughts are just my day-after impressions after having seen some great theater in Los Angeles last night. I have to say, I was in a hurry.  I had my kids to juggle,  too pick up from their schools...Dance classes, etc.  Hustling them hom...

I Feel The Earth, Move, Under my Eyjafjalajökull!

Amazing dueling footage of Mother Earth's astonishing fury, both real and as imagined by Disney. (Note first clip of visible shockwaves from  the crater at Eyjafjallajökull.) Other than when you saw Disney's Fantasia, when have you ever before  seen  red glowing lava as well as volcanic bombs flying through the air? Then again, you could always skip real life and fast-forward to Disney's  Fantasia's Rite Of Spring : I think I need the soundtrack of "Dueling Banjo's," here...
