Guest Who’s Came to Dinner! There Were Two of Them — Guests, that is, An Attempt at Vegan Chili, Crazy Drama on JTV, and … Tag! You’re it.

Friends

So, in the same vein as a number of my recent posts, I am going to tell the story of last night’s show in retrospect. In focusing on getting something posted before I head off to bed each night … err, morning, I head over to JTV to see what’s going on that may [...]

Food from Far Off Places

Nothing to Watch
Sometimes there’s just so little to watch in the .tv/lifecasting world. I was on JTV this morning looking for something to watch, but came up empty — again. I sure wish someone would take a trip and bring us along. It’s been months since Nekomimi_Lisa too us to Japan and [...]

What’s Wrong With Me? A Night Out. A Little Promotion Courtesy of EastCoastVegas. And a Couple of Not-to-be-Missed Recipes!

To Sleep, or Not

Incredibly decadent slow cooked chocolate French toast

What’s wrong with me? I went to bed at midnight .. yes! M-I-D-N-I-G-H-T! A time BEFORE 3am and I woke up at … 6:23am! Why did that happen? This means that for the next 5 days to a week or [...]

Waiting … Waiting … Waiting … and Another DEElicious Dinner!

Refresher
Just to refresh your memories, this is what I wrote last night with regards to the “breaking news announcement” that ECV and team announced they would be making tonight:
But … I will be pissed if it doesn’t make me say, “OH MY GOD! SHE/HE DID NOT!!” I want the jaw-dropping, horror-stricken, shocked look to come [...]

Breakfast for Dinner and Speculating on tomorrow’s ECV Announcement

Curiosity
ECV is talking about a big news story he will be breaking tomorrow on his show that will blow all of our minds — broadcasters and viewers alike. It appears that it involves someone or some people located in Canada. He communicated to us that Deborah Norville picked up the story for Inside [...]

Saving Face

The Rug Man for the Third Time

A fabulous rug under the table and chairs
Everything I do is done with purpose. I do it because it makes me feel good. I do it because it makes you feel good. I do it because it makes me feel accomplished. I do it because it [...]

And now, the rest of the story

Off on a Tangent

Beef Vegetable Soup and Fragrant Orange and Peanut Orzo Salad
My mind works in strange ways. Often it races faster than I can speak. Frequently it has no recollection of important and necessary facts, but always, it’s filled with rambling words that want to make sentences of what “sounds” to [...]

New Cookbook Makes for Great Justopia.com Dinner

A Passage Back to India

As you know, I spent a year in India for work a few moons ago. It was not an easy year, but one that I am happy, in the end to have experienced. The journey began just one year after my relocation back to the US from 2.5 years in [...]

Technology Woes

Or should I say WordPress angst. I suspect it’s this little MacBook that could, but tonight just can’t. I have been trying to get in to write a post for a few hours and it’s painfully slow and just keeps timing out on me, so while I am just going to throw my [...]

Technology’s Day to Shine and a JTV-Justopia.com Success Story

Opportunity

Not a great shot, but what I woke up to this morning. SNOW!
So, it finally happened. We finally got the snow I have been asking for. Not a huge blizzard, but enough to give me, a not-so-experienced-at-managing-in-snow-anymore driver a good reason not to get behind the wheel. In the past when [...]

ECV’s San Francisco Trip and a Justopia.com vs The Roxie Cook-off Reminder!

The Show Must Go On

Late Night with ECV, along with his sidekick, pceasy chat it up with Justin Kan of Justin.tv fame
It looks like ECV is taking a trip back to Justin.tv full time now that he’s had some face time with the Justin.tv crew. He had planned a 24/7 lifecasting event while in [...]

More Late Night Channel Banning and a Viewer Recipe the Justopian Way

Male vs. Female

Sausage, Pancetta, Mushroom and Olive Quiche
I just popped into JTV to see what was going on and noticed that the majority of the channels were female broadcasters, nothing new there. And as I popped in and out of rooms I saw people in frantic desperation attempting to get viewers to run to [...]

When Life Gives You Lemons…

Make Lemon Bars!
There’s just no way to feel like the world is coming down around you when there’s something fun to make in the kitchen and Lemon Bars is one of those fun treats to make. For me, the problem came into play when I realized I was 2/3 cup of sugar short!

Pickles
If you’re [...]

A Gastronomic Break and Viewing Break

PlainI have been cooking up a storm for weeks and was in need of a basic, uncomplicated, simple dinner tonight. The thought of another meal with herbs, spices and seasonings from around the world was incredibly unappealing, so I decided to go with something fairly bland. My tongue and my tummy were in [...]

A Food Vlogger’s Work is Never Done

New Direction

Enchiladas — Shrimp and Chicken, Beans with Ham and Orange-Fennel Salad with Pomegranate
Have you ever produced a television show? I mean from scratch, in your own home, no help in residence, no writers, no production assistants, no key grips (whatever they are) no sound technicians, no craft table, no wardrobe or make-up for [...]
