Awesomeness. Things I love. A handful of fandoms. Things that amuse me.

Whole foods in Downtown LA has set up this super smart poké stand where the produce meets the seafood department and it is my favorite $10 dinner at the moment. I made me own version at home with tuna and salmon sashimi as well as king crab (pictured here).

Instead of traditional rice I made cauliflower “rice” and kind of freestyled the rest. There is no right or wrong recipe for this, add or remove things to your own taste (masago, onion, ceviche, lime)

Ingredients:

Shrimp, crab, or raw sashimi grade fish Rice or cauliflower, cooked w a dash of rice vinegar Chunks of avocado (½ cup) Chunks of mango (½ cup) ½ Black radish, thinly sliced Crunchy seaweed snax

For seaweed salad: Wakame, hydrated Cucumbed, chopped into chunks Sesame oil, ½ T Rice vinegar, 1 T Soy Sauce, ½ T Sesame seeds, 1 t Wasabi, 1 t Grated ginger, 1 t Grated garlic, 1 t (OR JUST BUY PREMADE SEAWEED SALAD AT GROCERY SUSHI COUNTER)

¼ jalapeños, finely chopped 1 green scallion, finely chopped 1 garlic clove, grated Grated ginger, 2 t Bunch of torn cilantro

Make a rice base, disperse avocado, mango, seaweed salad, radish, seaweed snax, and fish (centered). Sprinkle with garlic, ginger, jalapeño, and herbs. Use a big spoon and incorporate some of everything into each bite.

Spinster Sunday: Non Pratt on gender conditioning through children’s toys and books.

Non Pratt, author of Trouble and Remix, comes to talk to us all about a rather heavy topic, the childhood conditioning that we almost do not notice - how girls toys come packaged mostly in pink, and boys in blue. “It’s just like Pavlovian Conditioning.” she tells us.

Despite the quite serious nature of the subject, Non and her amazing brand of humour manages to make us all burst into fits of laughter throughout. Using Harry Potter analogies and her hilarious way of explaining things, she points out that girls are usually given quiet toys and games, whereas boys are encouraged to be more adventurous and loud. She believes that this is why more girls enjoy reading than boys, which leads her to ask the question: How can we encourage more boys to enjoy reading?

“You buy too many books for aesthetic purposes”

“You shouldn’t buy the entire series”

“You shouldn’t waste your money on books”

Well, the funny thing here is that those are all my choices and not yours. So thanks for you opinion but I remain guilt free because well, I love books more than you.
