Interesting Admittal

I saw this when I was reading some reviews on you tube. I thought it was interesting that someone actually admitted some wrong was done. It's great though that they had that passion and hoping we will have that same passion to change the world.

"We (babyboomers) started out with all the good intentions. All thats left is our music. We screwed up the rest. Hope you new generations have better luck. Rock on."

Portobello Sammy with yummy salads

So, I forgot completely to take pictures while make this but thought that its pretty easy.


Portobello Mushroom Burger with Spicy Avocado Sauce

Its actually a recipe off of Martha Stewart but it was really yummy so i thought I'd share

serves 2

2 large cleaned portobellos with stems removed

1 tblsp evoo

salt and pepper

1 ripe avocado that is roughly chopped

1 tblsp. spicy brown mustard

1 tblsp. horseradish

Juice of a fresh lime

1 jalapeno chopped ( with or without seeds/inner body for heat control)

2 hamburger buns ( i bought challah buns)

Tomato ( 1lg or a couple of small to put on top of your "burger"

Shredded Mozzarella for top of "burger"


Preheat oven to 425 and on a large rimmed baking sheet toss mushrooms with evoo and 2/3c. water and season to taste with s&p. place mushrooms stem sides down.

( i made this in a lg measuring glass and then poured the oil/water mixture over the mushrooms)

while baking, mash avocado with fork in a bowl. Stir in mustard, horseradish, lime juice, and jalapeño. Season with salt and pepper.

Divide rolls and toast them. Then place a portobello on top of roll with a little bit of tomato and shredded cheese.

Enjoy!

I served it with some Greek salad I bought at the grocery store and some corn on the cob.

We will have to have a Gocco Party when it arrives

I am sooo happy!

So many things to update in this blog! First of all, I got a new job. I was hired to work at KGM Lighting in Los Angeles. They do high end residential lighting design. http://www.kgmlighting.com/ They do some amazing projects. I am lucky and already knew one of the girls who worked there so she got my foot in the door and also my current job does work with KGM. So when I went in I already knew a lot about them and their style. I am so excited that I am going to have a real professional job with my own cube, and wear dress up clothes and get health insurance and paid vacations. I know it seems so silly but when you've been working for a year and not really "working" its quite an exciting thing to be moving forward to a company like this!

So in preparation for my new job, of course I needed to buy some new things! So to date I have purchased a kate spade daily planner in grass green, a kate spade pink desk leather agenda book, and i have replaced my old hobo international purse with the same one but new! I love this purse to pieces and I had to track one down because its an old season's purse. I truly love this purse! and it shows. Its so tattered and it has a huge ink stain in a pocket but I love love love it!

I also bought a few things from the Bananna Republic Outlet. They were having a 40% off sale this weekend and so I picked up a coral short sweater and a really pretty brown and hot pink patterned dress shirt with a brown waist heigh bow.

I still need to get some more office appropriate looking clothes. Such as dress pants and some new high heels. Mine are tragic. I have worm them out drinking at the bar. Shame on me!

Well Kids, I start my new job on April 14th. I am pretty excited even though its a bummer I have to leave my old job. I truly love it and will miss my boss. He's such a good person and I like having in my life but I have to move forward and make smart career decisions now.

Hope everything is going well in your lives!
