Thanksgiving is next week

Folks, the eating season is upon us.
This means that from now until January, we will be enjoying the famous holiday dishes that we so look forward to all year. (At least I do)

With that being said, I want to suggest a few ways to prep your turkey!

In El Salvador (my mother's home country), on festive occasions, there is a huge array of festive foods which are prepared. A famous way to prepare your turkey is called "pan con chumpe."

This way, the turkey is prepared in a stew-form. Complete with juice composed of wine, oregano, and vinegar. The next step is you place the cooked shredded turkey in a french roll. Next, you top it with sliced radishes, cucumbers, turkey juice, cabbage, and water cress.


Can you say yum?

Stay tuned for more ideas on turkey prepping!

Radio Fest 2013

Okay so this year, Mt SAC celebrated it's 7th annual Radio Festival. In this, many of Southern California's too hit music stations were guests on the college. The event was organized by Mt SAC's award-winning broadcasting students. The theme was "radio is not dead," and to accompany that, who better than people who are un-dead? That's right: zombies!

So the students of the program dressed up as zombies and put on a great event. Even featuring a zombie thriller dance to kick off the event- performed by the students themselves.

Anyway, the whole production was a hit. Students loved it, staff loved it, visitors loved it. Hats off to the Mt. SAC broadcasting program !

Pinterest Babyshower

Ok readers, I want to take the time to thank you all for eyes. Consequently, I want to apologize for being off the net for some time now. I am going through a very hard time right now emotionally.

I apologize for my disclosure.

Anyway, this weekend I had the pleasure of attending a baby shower where the whole event looked like an event from "My Fair Wedding" with David Tutera.

It's crazy how one can completely transform a backyard into a baby bliss paradise for a special event. All it took was a spacious backyard, table cloths, center pierces, lights, and of course (since it was a girl) BUTTERFLIES!

So with that being said, here is a picture of the beautiful setting of which I was a part of: 

Can you spot the pregnant lady? ;)

Skinny Bitch

Okay so while at the Dripped fashion soirée an trunk show, I ran into some fabulous ladies with a creative name for their line: Skinny Bitch Clothing.

These threads were super cute and modern. They had from contemporary shirts and skirts, to shoes and flats, and clothes with Bart Simpson knitted on it!

The pieces were truly one of a kind with a style all it's own.

The garments have a very straight forward and modern approach, using clean and simple designs along with straight lines.

Here is a flick I got of the designers: 

 

Tacos de papa

When I was little I said there was two things I could live off of:

Potatoes and iced tea

So today I will advise you on the yummiest thing ever. Potato tacos!

All you need is:

-1 or 2 potatoes (depending on how many are eating)

-garlic salt 

-pepper 

-1/2 of an onion diced (optional, good for flavor though)

-corn or flour tortillas 

Now, take the potato, peel it, and wrap in a paper towel. That's right, a paper towel- and microwave it for 2.5-3 mins

Careful it will be hot when you remove it from the microwave!!!

Now, depending on what kind of blender you have, throw the potato in the blender, and shake on the garlic salt and pepper. Also, add the onion at this time. Now blend for 10-15 secs until you have a creamy potato/onion mix.

Place a scoopful in the tortilla and lay on the pan to crisp.

Enjoy with shredded cheese, lettuce, sour cream/avocado
