<p>It’s only the day before the day before the Labor Day weekend, but I noticed a sweet decrease of cars driving on the West Side today. Did anyone else notice the same thing in other areas of Los Angeles? Getting around for the next few days might even be pleasurable. And hopefully those who have left town are not on their way to the North Carolina coast. Wherever you are, have a great holiday weekend!</p>

That first post gave you Things One through Nine; today’s edition gives you – can you guess? – Things Ten through Eighteen, all from my recent trip to the Cerritos branch of the market. There will be cheap produce, the fruit of the dragon, and math. Naturally.</p>
<p><em>[For entries 1-9, see my earlier post here.]</em></p>
<p><strong>10. $1.99 for 3 pounds of Clementines<br />
</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-47625" src="http://blogging.la/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/199-clementines-358x600.jpg" alt="" width="229" height="384" /></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left">Look at that. While Ralphs, Vons, Albertson’s, and even Trader Joe’s offer three pound bags of sweet, seedless Clementines for upwards of $4.99/bag, these are less than $2. Sure, a few of them are a little too green, a few either too hard or too soft, and I have no idea where these came from. But, bad apples (oranges) aside, you simply can not beat this.</p>
<p style="text-align: left"><strong>11. Dragon fruit</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left">Do you know why an apple is called an apple? Well, I don’t know either, but I do know why a dragon fruit is called a dragon fruit.</p>
<p style="text-align: left"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-47626" src="http://blogging.la/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/2Dragonfruit-358x600.jpg" alt="" width="251" height="420" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left">If you think that looks exotic, see what it looks like when it is cut open! Sort of like a kiwi.</p>
<div id="attachment_47664" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 335px"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pa150231.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-47664 " src="http://blogging.la/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Inside-dragonfruit-580x435.jpg" alt="" width="325" height="244" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Courtesy Wikipedia </p></div>
<p style="text-align: left">Dragon fruit is often an ingredient in Asian-style salads. Food blogger Wandering Chopsticks has a cool pictorial of the life cycle of the dragon fruit <a href="http://wanderingchopsticks.blogspot.com/2009/01/life-cycle-of-thanh-long-vietnamese.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left"><strong>12. Black chicken. Not blackened chicken. We’re talking black-no-suffix chicken.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left">As I pointed out in an<a href="http://blogging.la/2010/06/28/99-things-at-99-ranch/" target="_blank"> earlier photo</a> where pork feet was called pork feet (i.e., not trotters), we don’t euphemize our experience when it comes to eating. Dragon fruit is called dragon fruit because that is exactly what Puff, Norbert, and Smaug would eat before smoking weed, biting Ron Weasley, and battling Bilbo Baggins, respectively. So, while American markets may call these “Silkies” (the <em>New York Times</em> even wrote a story on Silkies <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/17/dining/17blac.html" target="_blank">here</a>), at 99 Ranch and other Asian markets, it’s more aptly labeled black chicken. Because that is what it is. And we are not afraid of what it is. Chinese cookery uses black chicken as a base for complex soups.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-47629" src="http://blogging.la/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/3Black-chicken-580x346.jpg" alt="" width="406" height="242" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left"><strong>13. Marinated bangus</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-47652" src="http://blogging.la/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/4milkfish-580x346.jpg" alt="" width="406" height="242" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left">In the open-air refrigerated section of 99 Ranch, you’ll find all sorts of different dried and marinated fish, including this one – bangus, also known as milkfish. I’ve only had this dish, salted and fried, sometimes salted and smoked, at Filipino restaurants. It’s almost always filleted like above; if you flip it over, you’ll see each of the fish’s eyes staring at the other. Eating this, then, is a strange 2-D experience.</p>
<p style="text-align: left">A few months ago, before he was one half of the totally awesome Filipino food truck, <a href="http://themanilamachine.com/" target="_blank">The Manila Machine</a>, Burnt Lumpia wrote up a <a href="http://burntlumpia.typepad.com/burnt_lumpia/2010/03/marinated-and-grilled-bangus.html" target="_blank">great explanation of the fish, with a recipe to boot</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left"><strong>14. Tofu</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-47654" src="http://blogging.la/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/5Tofu-358x600.jpg" alt="" width="251" height="420" /><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Coagulate soy milk until you get curds, press the curds into blocks and, voila, tofu. Fresh tofu can be soft and luxurious or firm and strong. 99 Ranch, like all Asian supermarkets, sells an enormous variety of tofu. You kind of have to stumble through each brand until you find the one you like the best (same goes for egg roll wrappers). Asians of all stripes use tofu in everything – we fry it, we flavor it, we soup it. We don’t, take note, ever cook it and call it something else. Like meat. Tofu is not something you need to dress up in a chicken suit. It’s perfectly wonderful swimming in curry or sauteed with asparagus.</p>
<p><strong>15. Dried mushrooms</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-47657" src="http://blogging.la/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/6Dried-black-fungus-580x346.jpg" alt="" width="406" height="242" /></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left">Dried fungus – in strips or in clumps – are bagged and sold at 99 Ranch, and you can smell these from aisles away. These smelly bags are used in an awful lot of Asian cooking – my mom, for example, always soaked dried mushrooms in water before chopping them up and mixing it with pork and other ingredients for her egg roll filling.</p>
<p><strong>16. Soy sauce</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left"><strong><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-47655" src="http://blogging.la/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/7Soy-Sauce-580x346.jpg" alt="" width="464" height="277" /></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left">There is more to soy sauce than the one bottle with the red cap. Like balsamic vinegar, soy sauce has gradations and variants, and its origins can greatly affect its taste. Chinese-style, there’s light soy sauce used mostly as a condiment, and there is the deeper, more complex dark soy sauce that is used during cooking. Japanese-style, you have shoyu, which is the type of soy sauce you want for your sushi. And then there are soy sauces with flavors added (i.e., mushroom). So many soy sauces, so little time.</p>
<p style="text-align: left"><strong>17. Lychee flavored fruit drinks</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lychee" target="_blank">Lychee</a> is a squishy little fruit that grows on trees; you peel its thin dark red flesh to reveal an opaque little ball of sweetness. I’m a little surprised that American chefs haven’t yet experimented with the fruit; it’s grown predominantly in China and Northern Vietnam, but I’ve seen lychee fruit trees randomly sitting peacefully in San Francisco and Echo Park. Until chefs and cocktail mixologists wise up, you can find lychee-flavored fruit drinks at your neighborhood 99 Ranch.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-47661" src="http://blogging.la/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/8Lychee-flavor1-431x600.jpg" alt="" width="276" height="384" /></p>
<p><strong>18. Geometric pastries</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left">Going back to our general theme of calling it like it is, here are Square Cookies and Cubic Pastries. There’s probably some Asians-are-good-at-math -joke here that I don’t want to make, so I’ll just show you the picture instead.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-47662" src="http://blogging.la/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/9Cubic-pastry-580x291.jpg" alt="" width="464" height="233" /></strong></p>

A great miracle happened in this taco. That’s what I’m saying. A fajita-style tofu taco, a beef taco, and a “chosen chicken” taco round out the menu. </p>

This is “Culver West” and it’s nestled between Mar Vista and Marina Del Rey.</p>
<p>There is a sweet gem in that arm called Culver West-Alexander Park and if you are in the neighborhood and looking for a great spot to spend an afternoon, you will love this one.</p>
<p>I remember this park from the very early 90′s as I used to work in the Marina. The big field seen here used to have a baseball diamond and one year I spent many an early morning practicing softball with our company team. (Go Hurlers!) Even without a baseball diamond, you can NOT get bored at this park. I dare you!</p>
<p>There are basketball and tennis courts, BBQ pits and picnic tables, tons of jungle gyms and swings and even a community center. If you are a Westsider, check this spot out, bring the kids and grandparents and a big picnic. You never know <a href="http://blogging.la/2010/07/02/icme-life-in-the-slow-lane/" target="_blank">what you’ll see here</a>.</p>
<p>How to get there (click on the image to go to the Google Map):</p>

But, why labor over the grill when you could be relaxing under the stars eating the best the city has to offer? Coincidentally (or not), both the <em>LA Times</em> and <em>Food & Wine</em> are hosting food and wine festivals this weekend, with the <em>Food & Wine </em>festival being the more overtly epic. The culinary magazine is hosting <a href="http://thetasteofbeverlyhills.com/" target="_blank">“The Taste of Beverly Hills,”</a> a <a href="http://thetasteofbeverlyhills.com/?page_id=25" target="_blank">four day affair</a> featuring over 100 restaurants and wineries, categorized neatly by theme. Friday night gathers all the great cocktail mixologists in town (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YbjzztYbUo" target="_blank">excluding Tom Cruise</a>); Saturday night is Date Night, matching LA’s best restaurants with the proper wine to dine; and Sunday is a lesson on brunching and – appropriately – on BBQ’ing. There will be cooking demos and (yeah!) the chance to sample as much as your AYCE heart desires. <a href="http://cart.thetasteofbeverlyhills.com/cart/index.php?p=catalog&parent=1&pg=1" target="_blank">Ticket prices are steep</a>, but if you can afford it, it looks like a great chance to sample plates from the likes of <a href="http://www.angeliniosteria.com/" target="_blank">Angelini Osteria</a>, <a href="http://www.churchandstatebistro.com/" target="_blank">Church & State</a>, and <a href="http://www.craftrestaurant.com/" target="_blank">Craft</a>. In addition, awesome <a href="http://www.goldstar.com/events/beverly-hills-ca/food-and-wine-presents-the-taste-of-beverly-hills-the-art-of-brunch.html" target="_blank">Goldstar is offering tickets to the Sunday brunch</a> for half-price ($62.50 instead of $125). And, for those looking to crash the party, Evan Kleinman and KCRW also will host a <a href="http://www.kcrw.com/events/good-food-pie-contest" target="_blank">pie contest</a> that is free to everyone on Sunday morning.</p>
<p>The <em>LA Times</em> takes a more modest approach and has <a href="http://events.latimes.com/foodandwine/" target="_blank">a one day food and wine festival</a> on Sunday at the Paramount Studios in Hollywood. Our local national paper fills the food truck void – food trucks are conspicuously absent from The Taste of Beverly Hills – and gathers a bunch for their festival, including Border Grill’s and The Buttermilk Truck. There also will be <a href="http://events.latimes.com/foodandwine/schedule/" target="_blank">cooking demos</a> (including one on cocktail mixology (which also will not include Tom Cruise)), and, depending on your tolerance for Zooey Deschanel and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKW9na06SyY" target="_blank">her love for cotton</a>, you will love or hate She & Him’s bonus concert at the end of the night. <a href="http://events.latimes.com/foodandwine/general-information/tickets/" target="_blank">Tickets are cheaper</a> than The Taste of Beverly Hills but, then again, so are the restaurants featured (which is not a bad thing, just a point of difference between the two fests). Goldstar pulls through for this one too – get half-price tickets <a href="http://www.goldstar.com/e/38580" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>It’s Tuesday. Just a few more days, and you can take the time to eat. And eat again.</p>

<p>On the face of it, the world of <em><a href="http://www.onehundredmornings.com/">One Hundred Mornings</a></em> is about as far from the daily life of an average Angeleno as you can get. Set in the lush Irish countryside, <em>OHM</em> looks in on two couples sharing a mountain cabin after an unidentified disaster or chain of events leads to a total infrastructure collapse. It’s like an apocalypse only quieter. Todd Konrad of <em><a href="http://independentfilmquarterly.net/online-exclusives/sundance-slamdance-2010-quick-cuts.html">Independent Film Quarterly</a></em> describes it this way:</p>
<blockquote><p>If Harold Pinter did a rewrite of The Road, it could easily resemble One Hundred Mornings; eschewing multi-million dollar CGI special-effects and giant fireballs for an emphasis on actual story and character, Irish filmmaker Conor Horgan and cast craft an intimate look at the emotional and spiritual toll the apocalypse could bring to one’s life.</p></blockquote>
<p>Having read an earlier version of the script (full disclosure: I’m lucky enough to call director Conor Horgan a dear friend), I’d elaborate that the film dramatizes, not just the toll of a societal breakdown, but by extension, the function of “society” itself to distract and distance us from ourselves. The word “apocalypse” comes from the Greek word for “to uncover” or “reveal,” and Conor Horgan’s <em>One Hundred Mornings</em>, in some respects, simply lifts the lid off our petroleum-based, strung-out-on-technology culture to show us what’s left when we strip away the lights and the cars and the iGadgets.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a rel="attachment wp-att-47567" href="http://blogging.la/2010/08/30/one-hundred-mornings-see-this-movie/ohm2-copy/"><img class="size-large wp-image-47567 aligncenter" src="http://blogging.la/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/OHM2-copy-580x290.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="290" /></a></p>
<p>What I know is this, the film is beautifully shot and well written and acted, and it’s playing at the <a href="http://www.downtownindependent.com/events/one-hundred-mornings">Downtown Independent Theatre</a> for a week beginning September 16, thanks to the <a href="http://workbookproject.com/award/">WorkBook Project’s Discovery and Distribution Award</a>. (It will also be screening September 24 in San Francisco as part of the <a href="http://sfirishfilm.com/schedule-2">SF Irish Film Festival</a>.)</p>
<p>You should <a href="http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/124646">buy a ticket</a>. Not only will the film be great, but when Conor is world famous, you’ll be able to say “Oh yeah, I saw his first feature in downtown L.A. before it had U.S. distribution.” Because, you know, the world hasn’t yet collapsed, and in the interim between now and the apocalypse, there’s little that beats being able to say <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzuFeXYbOOo">you knew about something really cool</a> before most other people did.</p>

Morales is described as Hispanic, 5 feet 8 inches, approximately 160 pounds, with wavy black hair. Anyone with information about him is asked to contact the Pasadena Police Department at (626) 744-4241.</p>
<p>Wednesday, Frank Paneno, an 83-year-old Pasadena resident, was riding his motorized scooter in the bicycle lane westbound on Cordova Street when he was struck by a vehicle driven by Morales that was traveling east on Cordova Street and making a left turn onto Chester Avenue. Morales struck Paneno in the intersection, dragging him and his scooter several feet before stopping. Morales, along with his passenger, stopped to pull the scooter and victim from underneath the vehicle. Morales got back into his vehicle and fled the scene, leaving his passenger and the victim behind.</p>
<p>Paneno suffered major injuries to his head and body. He was transported to a local hospital in critical condition.</p>
<p>The suspect’s vehicle was located, abandoned in Los Angeles.</p>

<p>It’s only the day before the day before the Labor Day weekend, but I noticed a sweet decrease of cars driving on the West Side today. Did anyone else notice the same thing in other areas of Los Angeles? Getting around for the next few days might even be pleasurable. And hopefully those who have left town are not on their way to the North Carolina coast. Wherever you are, have a great holiday weekend!</p>

That first post gave you Things One through Nine; today’s edition gives you – can you guess? – Things Ten through Eighteen, all from my recent trip to the Cerritos branch of the market. There will be cheap produce, the fruit of the dragon, and math. Naturally.</p>
<p><em>[For entries 1-9, see my earlier post here.]</em></p>
<p><strong>10. $1.99 for 3 pounds of Clementines<br />
</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-47625" src="http://blogging.la/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/199-clementines-358x600.jpg" alt="" width="229" height="384" /></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left">Look at that. While Ralphs, Vons, Albertson’s, and even Trader Joe’s offer three pound bags of sweet, seedless Clementines for upwards of $4.99/bag, these are less than $2. Sure, a few of them are a little too green, a few either too hard or too soft, and I have no idea where these came from. But, bad apples (oranges) aside, you simply can not beat this.</p>
<p style="text-align: left"><strong>11. Dragon fruit</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left">Do you know why an apple is called an apple? Well, I don’t know either, but I do know why a dragon fruit is called a dragon fruit.</p>
<p style="text-align: left"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-47626" src="http://blogging.la/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/2Dragonfruit-358x600.jpg" alt="" width="251" height="420" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left">If you think that looks exotic, see what it looks like when it is cut open! Sort of like a kiwi.</p>
<div id="attachment_47664" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 335px"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pa150231.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-47664 " src="http://blogging.la/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Inside-dragonfruit-580x435.jpg" alt="" width="325" height="244" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Courtesy Wikipedia </p></div>
<p style="text-align: left">Dragon fruit is often an ingredient in Asian-style salads. Food blogger Wandering Chopsticks has a cool pictorial of the life cycle of the dragon fruit <a href="http://wanderingchopsticks.blogspot.com/2009/01/life-cycle-of-thanh-long-vietnamese.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left"><strong>12. Black chicken. Not blackened chicken. We’re talking black-no-suffix chicken.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left">As I pointed out in an<a href="http://blogging.la/2010/06/28/99-things-at-99-ranch/" target="_blank"> earlier photo</a> where pork feet was called pork feet (i.e., not trotters), we don’t euphemize our experience when it comes to eating. Dragon fruit is called dragon fruit because that is exactly what Puff, Norbert, and Smaug would eat before smoking weed, biting Ron Weasley, and battling Bilbo Baggins, respectively. So, while American markets may call these “Silkies” (the <em>New York Times</em> even wrote a story on Silkies <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/17/dining/17blac.html" target="_blank">here</a>), at 99 Ranch and other Asian markets, it’s more aptly labeled black chicken. Because that is what it is. And we are not afraid of what it is. Chinese cookery uses black chicken as a base for complex soups.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-47629" src="http://blogging.la/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/3Black-chicken-580x346.jpg" alt="" width="406" height="242" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left"><strong>13. Marinated bangus</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-47652" src="http://blogging.la/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/4milkfish-580x346.jpg" alt="" width="406" height="242" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left">In the open-air refrigerated section of 99 Ranch, you’ll find all sorts of different dried and marinated fish, including this one – bangus, also known as milkfish. I’ve only had this dish, salted and fried, sometimes salted and smoked, at Filipino restaurants. It’s almost always filleted like above; if you flip it over, you’ll see each of the fish’s eyes staring at the other. Eating this, then, is a strange 2-D experience.</p>
<p style="text-align: left">A few months ago, before he was one half of the totally awesome Filipino food truck, <a href="http://themanilamachine.com/" target="_blank">The Manila Machine</a>, Burnt Lumpia wrote up a <a href="http://burntlumpia.typepad.com/burnt_lumpia/2010/03/marinated-and-grilled-bangus.html" target="_blank">great explanation of the fish, with a recipe to boot</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left"><strong>14. Tofu</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-47654" src="http://blogging.la/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/5Tofu-358x600.jpg" alt="" width="251" height="420" /><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Coagulate soy milk until you get curds, press the curds into blocks and, voila, tofu. Fresh tofu can be soft and luxurious or firm and strong. 99 Ranch, like all Asian supermarkets, sells an enormous variety of tofu. You kind of have to stumble through each brand until you find the one you like the best (same goes for egg roll wrappers). Asians of all stripes use tofu in everything – we fry it, we flavor it, we soup it. We don’t, take note, ever cook it and call it something else. Like meat. Tofu is not something you need to dress up in a chicken suit. It’s perfectly wonderful swimming in curry or sauteed with asparagus.</p>
<p><strong>15. Dried mushrooms</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-47657" src="http://blogging.la/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/6Dried-black-fungus-580x346.jpg" alt="" width="406" height="242" /></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left">Dried fungus – in strips or in clumps – are bagged and sold at 99 Ranch, and you can smell these from aisles away. These smelly bags are used in an awful lot of Asian cooking – my mom, for example, always soaked dried mushrooms in water before chopping them up and mixing it with pork and other ingredients for her egg roll filling.</p>
<p><strong>16. Soy sauce</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left"><strong><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-47655" src="http://blogging.la/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/7Soy-Sauce-580x346.jpg" alt="" width="464" height="277" /></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left">There is more to soy sauce than the one bottle with the red cap. Like balsamic vinegar, soy sauce has gradations and variants, and its origins can greatly affect its taste. Chinese-style, there’s light soy sauce used mostly as a condiment, and there is the deeper, more complex dark soy sauce that is used during cooking. Japanese-style, you have shoyu, which is the type of soy sauce you want for your sushi. And then there are soy sauces with flavors added (i.e., mushroom). So many soy sauces, so little time.</p>
<p style="text-align: left"><strong>17. Lychee flavored fruit drinks</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lychee" target="_blank">Lychee</a> is a squishy little fruit that grows on trees; you peel its thin dark red flesh to reveal an opaque little ball of sweetness. I’m a little surprised that American chefs haven’t yet experimented with the fruit; it’s grown predominantly in China and Northern Vietnam, but I’ve seen lychee fruit trees randomly sitting peacefully in San Francisco and Echo Park. Until chefs and cocktail mixologists wise up, you can find lychee-flavored fruit drinks at your neighborhood 99 Ranch.</p>

<p><strong>18. Geometric pastries</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left">Going back to our general theme of calling it like it is, here are Square Cookies and Cubic Pastries. There’s probably some Asians-are-good-at-math -joke here that I don’t want to make, so I’ll just show you the picture instead.</p>

This we expected, no? But also…wait for it… the latketaco, which also sounds amazing, featuring, as it does, “three types of potato, cilantro, onions and roasted chipotle chiles; battered, breaded, deep fried and topped with a sweet and spicy apple jalapeño chutney.” ZOMG. A great miracle happened in this taco. That’s what I’m saying. A fajita-style tofu taco, a beef taco, and a “chosen chicken” taco round out the menu. </p>

<blockquote><p>She careened me towards the white picket fence at June and De Longpre, pulling my hair. I whipped her back around, kicking her in the stomach.

<p>It’s comforting to know that events like these are still taking place while the LAPD is running radar on Coldwater & Burbank to catch soccer moms speeding on their way to work.</p>

This is “Culver West” and it’s nestled between Mar Vista and Marina Del Rey.</p>
<p>There is a sweet gem in that arm called Culver West-Alexander Park and if you are in the neighborhood and looking for a great spot to spend an afternoon, you will love this one.</p>
<p>I remember this park from the very early 90′s as I used to work in the Marina. The big field seen here used to have a baseball diamond and one year I spent many an early morning practicing softball with our company team. (Go Hurlers!) Even without a baseball diamond, you can NOT get bored at this park. I dare you!</p>
<p>There are basketball and tennis courts, BBQ pits and picnic tables, tons of jungle gyms and swings and even a community center. If you are a Westsider, check this spot out, bring the kids and grandparents and a big picnic. You never know <a href="http://blogging.la/2010/07/02/icme-life-in-the-slow-lane/" target="_blank">what you’ll see here</a>.</p>
<p>How to get there (click on the image to go to the Google Map):</p>

<p>This happy mural greets you when you park on Moore street. Handball courts (three) are here on the backside of the tennis court.</p>

But, why labor over the grill when you could be relaxing under the stars eating the best the city has to offer? Coincidentally (or not), both the <em>LA Times</em> and <em>Food & Wine</em> are hosting food and wine festivals this weekend, with the <em>Food & Wine </em>festival being the more overtly epic. The culinary magazine is hosting <a href="http://thetasteofbeverlyhills.com/" target="_blank">“The Taste of Beverly Hills,”</a> a <a href="http://thetasteofbeverlyhills.com/?page_id=25" target="_blank">four day affair</a> featuring over 100 restaurants and wineries, categorized neatly by theme. Friday night gathers all the great cocktail mixologists in town (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YbjzztYbUo" target="_blank">excluding Tom Cruise</a>); Saturday night is Date Night, matching LA’s best restaurants with the proper wine to dine; and Sunday is a lesson on brunching and – appropriately – on BBQ’ing. There will be cooking demos and (yeah!) the chance to sample as much as your AYCE heart desires. <a href="http://cart.thetasteofbeverlyhills.com/cart/index.php?p=catalog&parent=1&pg=1" target="_blank">Ticket prices are steep</a>, but if you can afford it, it looks like a great chance to sample plates from the likes of <a href="http://www.angeliniosteria.com/" target="_blank">Angelini Osteria</a>, <a href="http://www.churchandstatebistro.com/" target="_blank">Church & State</a>, and <a href="http://www.craftrestaurant.com/" target="_blank">Craft</a>. In addition, awesome <a href="http://www.goldstar.com/events/beverly-hills-ca/food-and-wine-presents-the-taste-of-beverly-hills-the-art-of-brunch.html" target="_blank">Goldstar is offering tickets to the Sunday brunch</a> for half-price ($62.50 instead of $125). And, for those looking to crash the party, Evan Kleinman and KCRW also will host a <a href="http://www.kcrw.com/events/good-food-pie-contest" target="_blank">pie contest</a> that is free to everyone on Sunday morning.</p>
<p>The <em>LA Times</em> takes a more modest approach and has <a href="http://events.latimes.com/foodandwine/" target="_blank">a one day food and wine festival</a> on Sunday at the Paramount Studios in Hollywood. Our local national paper fills the food truck void – food trucks are conspicuously absent from The Taste of Beverly Hills – and gathers a bunch for their festival, including Border Grill’s and The Buttermilk Truck. There also will be <a href="http://events.latimes.com/foodandwine/schedule/" target="_blank">cooking demos</a> (including one on cocktail mixology (which also will not include Tom Cruise)), and, depending on your tolerance for Zooey Deschanel and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKW9na06SyY" target="_blank">her love for cotton</a>, you will love or hate She & Him’s bonus concert at the end of the night. <a href="http://events.latimes.com/foodandwine/general-information/tickets/" target="_blank">Tickets are cheaper</a> than The Taste of Beverly Hills but, then again, so are the restaurants featured (which is not a bad thing, just a point of difference between the two fests). Goldstar pulls through for this one too – get half-price tickets <a href="http://www.goldstar.com/e/38580" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>It’s Tuesday. Just a few more days, and you can take the time to eat. And eat again.</p>

<p>On the face of it, the world of <em><a href="http://www.onehundredmornings.com/">One Hundred Mornings</a></em> is about as far from the daily life of an average Angeleno as you can get. Set in the lush Irish countryside, <em>OHM</em> looks in on two couples sharing a mountain cabin after an unidentified disaster or chain of events leads to a total infrastructure collapse. It’s like an apocalypse only quieter. Todd Konrad of <em><a href="http://independentfilmquarterly.net/online-exclusives/sundance-slamdance-2010-quick-cuts.html">Independent Film Quarterly</a></em> describes it this way:</p>
<blockquote><p>If Harold Pinter did a rewrite of The Road, it could easily resemble One Hundred Mornings; eschewing multi-million dollar CGI special-effects and giant fireballs for an emphasis on actual story and character, Irish filmmaker Conor Horgan and cast craft an intimate look at the emotional and spiritual toll the apocalypse could bring to one’s life.</p></blockquote>
<p>Having read an earlier version of the script (full disclosure: I’m lucky enough to call director Conor Horgan a dear friend), I’d elaborate that the film dramatizes, not just the toll of a societal breakdown, but by extension, the function of “society” itself to distract and distance us from ourselves. The word “apocalypse” comes from the Greek word for “to uncover” or “reveal,” and Conor Horgan’s <em>One Hundred Mornings</em>, in some respects, simply lifts the lid off our petroleum-based, strung-out-on-technology culture to show us what’s left when we strip away the lights and the cars and the iGadgets.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a rel="attachment wp-att-47567" href="http://blogging.la/2010/08/30/one-hundred-mornings-see-this-movie/ohm2-copy/"><img class="size-large wp-image-47567 aligncenter" src="http://blogging.la/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/OHM2-copy-580x290.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="290" /></a></p>
<p>What I know is this, the film is beautifully shot and well written and acted, and it’s playing at the <a href="http://www.downtownindependent.com/events/one-hundred-mornings">Downtown Independent Theatre</a> for a week beginning September 16, thanks to the <a href="http://workbookproject.com/award/">WorkBook Project’s Discovery and Distribution Award</a>. (It will also be screening September 24 in San Francisco as part of the <a href="http://sfirishfilm.com/schedule-2">SF Irish Film Festival</a>.)</p>
<p>You should <a href="http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/124646">buy a ticket</a>. Not only will the film be great, but when Conor is world famous, you’ll be able to say “Oh yeah, I saw his first feature in downtown L.A. before it had U.S. distribution.” Because, you know, the world hasn’t yet collapsed, and in the interim between now and the apocalypse, there’s little that beats being able to say <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzuFeXYbOOo">you knew about something really cool</a> before most other people did.</p>

Morales is described as Hispanic, 5 feet 8 inches, approximately 160 pounds, with wavy black hair. Anyone with information about him is asked to contact the Pasadena Police Department at (626) 744-4241.</p>
<p>Wednesday, Frank Paneno, an 83-year-old Pasadena resident, was riding his motorized scooter in the bicycle lane westbound on Cordova Street when he was struck by a vehicle driven by Morales that was traveling east on Cordova Street and making a left turn onto Chester Avenue. Morales struck Paneno in the intersection, dragging him and his scooter several feet before stopping. Morales, along with his passenger, stopped to pull the scooter and victim from underneath the vehicle. Morales got back into his vehicle and fled the scene, leaving his passenger and the victim behind.</p>
<p>Paneno suffered major injuries to his head and body. He was transported to a local hospital in critical condition.</p>
<p>The suspect’s vehicle was located, abandoned in Los Angeles.</p>
