Dr. Bob's here in So Cal makes a strawberry, brown sugar and sour cream that is the perfect reminder of my other favorite dessert! It's Ice Cream Week at The Kitchn! What's Your Favorite Flavor of Ice Cream? |

I live in a suburb of Los Angeles that is adjacent to a low-income area and the closest grocery store is in that neighborhood. The ban has been in effect since August 1 of last year and I've been using a nylon bag that wraps itself into a ball and stores easily in my purse. I'm at that store a lot and have noticed that folks just cannot get into it. The default is to just buy a ten cent bag all the time, or else try to juggle a gallon of milk, loaf of bread and all the other groceries among whomever is in the party. I don't see it catching on there. Local Plastic Bag Bans: How's It Going? |

I'm a librarian in Los Angeles, and LAPL as well as other area library systems are really behind sustainable, modern designs in newly constructed libraries. LAPL's Harbor Gateway branch is eco-friendly; the new Silverlake branch is LEED certified and the design is attractively modern: Modern Inspiration from Austin's Twin Oaks Library |

4 years ago on CL I found a Deco buffet for $80, with beautiful carvings on the doors and a pull-out drawer for silver storage. The owner said he paid a clerk $80 for it at a West Hollywood thrift store and when he came back the next day with a truck, the manager told him it was priced incorrectly and wanted $400. Apparently a big argument ensued involving other staff and even customers, but he prevailed and when it was time to sell wasn't asking for any more than he put into it. I refinished it, put in our china and silver and it fits perfectly in the dining room of our 1930 Tudor. It's by far my favorite piece in a house full of period thrift store finds.

Frog tape works well but is way more expensive than blue painter's tape, which I've personally never had a problem with. Practical Painting Tips Make for Half the Hassle | Apartment Therapy Los Angeles |

This is disgusting and I can't believe I am typing it, but when I go to the bathroom in the middle of the night I don't turn the light on because it's too jarring to my sleepy eyes, and I always have the fear that a rat is going to come up from the sewer through the pipes, up into my toilet and bite me on the butt.

Ina Garten's gazpacho. I made it for a BBQ at the beginning of summer and it is so easy and so good that I have made it 4 times since, and will probably make it another few times before summer is over. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | What Dish Can You Not Stop Making this Summer? |

I live in LA and eat at Roscoe's too. I never knew fried chicken and maple syrup could go so well together! Sometimes I throw in some hot sauce to spice things up. It's surprisingly tasty. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Flickr Find: Chicken and Waffles? |
