Love this farmers market! When my gramma lived there, we'd go all of the time! When I got married in SB in 2005, my best friends mother purchased the flowers for my wedding from the farmers market!

Tater tot casserole, in my married years, has now been renamed to Le Goo. Can of corn, can of green beans, can of cream of chick, can of cream of mush, browned ground beef salt and pepper with an onion chopped up in it. Combine, brown some tater tots, slide on top, then finish baking til hot and bubbly. It is best with a slice of buttered potato bread and a glass of milk! Yum, can you tell my family is from the Midwest?!

Pizzookies were also made at an Arizona local pizza joint called oreganos... They are known for catchy billboards with pun-tastic phrases... Like "Legalize Marinara!" lol

My father has been setting tile for the past 20 years, and he would just cut square tiles to the type of hex you would like. Also if they are a skilled tile setter, they will ALWAYS use a grout sealant (impregnator) and I'd use one that is water soluble. Only apply to the grout joint, and not onto the tile itself. It can damage the finish on the tile.

In my book, these houses are great. It is a small bubble of 50-60's part of the history of phoenix. ( I have even seen some bomb shelters in these homes!) I have lived in AZ all of my life and the yards do not get weeds very often out there, as the residents "tell-on" each other to the HOA's. They have nothing better to do... Besides- THE VERY BEST ESTATE SALES are there....
People moved in droves to Sun City from the midwest and left them in these houses to be preserved! i get some wicked stuff!

Waldorf salad!!! With diced dates! but it has to be the kind pictured---- not the medjool kine. I use 5 big fiji apples, about 3 ribs of celery, 5 tbsp of mayonnaise, an 1/8 cup of lemon juice and 2-3 packets of splenda.... it's so stinking good- I can eat the whole salad myself!

they also make a really cool peanut butter and jelly silicone tool. Peanut butter colored on one end and then flip and you get a grape jelly colored end. no getting peanut butter in the jelly ever again... or all that left over p.b. at the end of the jar- that you don't want to scrape because it gets all over your fingers. more than what ends up on the knife :)

if it's a dangerous type of heater... I'd find a renters right rule that you could bend (if he's stupid) and get him to remove it...
What about building some sort of bookshelf around it... like ikeas square ones... I see that they are making them with cut outs for flat screens, and that may fit the heaters dimensions?

I don't live in L.A. but I really love the south bay cities. I also have had some amazing times in Hollywood, Eagle Rock and Silver Lake. I also have a few friends in affordable Korea Town which is in the middle of everything!

Really it depends where you will be working. Anywhere is a commute really, so visit a lot of areas...
maybe just for a short time rent and then decide later for the long term!

In the palm springs area there are countless amazing mexican restaurants. I don't know if you are familiar with them, but if you stay at any hotel there, they will all tell you their favorite.
My mother-in-law's family grew up in the area and she has raved about one in particular, i'll have to figure out which one it is!

use lye and hot water.
it's better than draino, (yes it's caustic) however, it's cheap and you only use a little, so it keeps for a loooong time.

plus, you can use the lye to make paper too....just a dab will do ya

working in retail for a company that focuses on fashion, it would be fantastic to steam my cute cotton clothes instead of ironing. i'd love a few extra minutes in the morning with my dogs before working all day!
