My Job at American Idol Rules!
Home Brew Kombucha Batch #5: The Final Brew
Based on factors of time and improper SCOBY growth, I’ve made the difficult decision to stop my home brew for awhile. I want to come back in a few months and start from scratch with a healthy starter kit. Ironically, my SCOBY in batch five grew legs. I can only assume that’s a good thing. [...]

Home Brew Kombucha Batch #3: Flavoring and Troubleshooting
I have finally gotten to the point where I’m ready to flavor my home brew kombucha! And the fruit juice I chose – blueberry juice. Why blueberry? Simple. I received some Tamaya Blueberry Juice in my goodie bag at the Foods From Chile Dinner Party back in November, and it was readily available. Why ginger? Because [...]
Pink Marina
This happened during my meeting with Marina del Rey Parasailing last night. Love the pink and purple of this gorgeous sunset. Had to share!

Let me preference what I’m about to write with: I AM THE BIGGEST WHOLE FOODS MARKET FAN IN THE WORLD! Well, at least in my world. All of my friends reach out to me when they have a question about Whole Foods. When the music video Whole Foods Parking Lot came out, twenty people emailed [...]

SCROLL DOWN to see up-close-and-personal photos of the Mama and Baby SCOBYs and healthy bacteria. Guess what 2 gallons of home brew Kombucha gets you? [...]
