Take The Family: Yamashiro Farmer’s Market

Los Angeles has a reputation for fantastic weather and an epic spread of land, but rarely do you get to experience the two unadulterated while nursing a cocktail. At the Yamashiro Farmers Market, however, every Thursday atop a  peak in the Hollywood Hills, visitors can take in Los Angeles on a hot night with sweeping views of the sparkling grid, along with a few other California specialties: fresh produce and artisanal prepared foods, plus our greatest export alongside Hollywood — wine.

Set in the parking lot outside Yamashiro, the majestic CalAsian restaurant, patrons can stroll from booth to booth, sampling everything from Nicholas Family Farms’ fresh juices such as mandarin and grapefruit, to buying ripe roses from Eufloria, a sixth-generation flower-farming business. There are also food trucks, Last week was the Cool Haus and Heirloom Catering Trucks. You can purchase your own wine (in moderation, please) from a variety California vineyards (along with some French and Italian pours).

But maybe most popular of all is the Yamashiro Grill stand, which hawks street tacos spilling over with braised short ribs, hoisin duck confit (My Favorite) or miso-sake-marinated black cod, with sides such as wasabi guacamole and ginger salsa.

Yamashiro Farmers Market started back in March 2010 and has been a hit ever since with the locals. So next Thursday evening grab the family and come enjoy the sweeping city views, shop for your weekly produce and grab dinner while enjoying some music! – LA Times

The Donna Reed Show

The Donna Reed Show is an American sitcom which aired on ABC  from September 24, 1958 to March 19, 1966. The series stars Donna Reed as Donna Stone, the matriarch of the Stone family. The series was developed by Reed and her then-husband, producer Tony Owen. Its premise focused on middle class couple, Donna Stone (Reed), a housewife to pediatrician Alex Stone, played by Carl Betz. The couple had two children together, Mary (Shelley Fabares) and Jeff (Paul Petersen). Episodes featured problems of the 1950s such as planning a bash for a retiring colleague, firing an inept housekeeper, and finding quality time away from the kids. Below is a favorite episode of mine titled “The Ideal Wife.”

Healthy WIFE Snack on The Go:

Any WIFE who runs a house, raises children and tries to make time for herself must be spinning like a top. With grocery shopping always on the to do list and an empty stomach to feed on the go, I’ve recently discovered the Juice Bar at Whole Foods Market. I’ve been extremely fond of  the “Sweet Green Garden” smoothie. It’s a mix blend of Spinach, Kale, Bananas, Strawberries, Ice and Agave, which sounds gross but tastes pleasantly sweet. So next time you find your energy running low while picking up ingredients for tonight’s dinner be sure to pick up a cup of healthy goodness. 20 Ounce Smoothie $6.99
