A perfect song for a quiet Sunday afternoon…

Barkley L. Hendricks: Birth of Cool

Opening tonight at the Contemporary Arts Museum of Houston is a fantastic show called “Barkley L. Hendricks: Birth of Cool“. Best known for his giant portraits of friends and local people from the artists hometown community in Connecticut, these oversize canvases portray everyday regular people on such a large scale that it elevates them to [...]

Houston’s Best Cupcake?

Thursday, January 28, 2010

I’m not a very big fan of cupcakes…why have a tiny little treat when you could have a whole cake? I also think that cupcakes are one of the more interesting food trends to happen in quite awhile – you can’t seem to turn a corner these days without hitting a cupcake truck. I suppose [...]

Yo La Tengo

Wednesday, January 27, 2010

My favorite band of all time, Yo La Tengo, is playing here in Houston tomorrow night and you’d better not miss out. Playing some of the best live shows ever, if you are not a die-hard fan now – you will be after seeing this show. Performing for all ages at Houston’s Warehouse Live, tickets [...]

Class Act – Sandra Bullock

Monday, January 25, 2010

While its fun to cheer on your favorites, you can’t help but get a little [...]

French 75

Saturday, January 23, 2010

Supposedly concocted by the Franco-American World War I flying ace Raoul Lufbery who was part of the Escadrille Americaine air fighting unit, a French 75 is a champagne cocktail with some very potent after-effects. Legend states that Mr. Lufbery liked champagne but wanted something with a little more kick to it, so he added in some [...]

Houston Roller Derby

Friday, January 22, 2010

Kind of like a whirling-dervish style hockey game, The Houston Roller Derby is a rowdy, raucous sport that is just as much fun, if not more, to watch. League matches take place about once a month at the Kicks Indoor Soccer & Gym facility at 611 Shepherd Drive. At Kicks you can check out the [...]

Not Hot Enough?

Wednesday, January 20, 2010

I’ll confess to you one of my (many) food addictions. When I first tried Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce my tastebuds exploded with joy, and I’ve kept a bottle nearby ever since. This Asian American creation is often thought of as a Thai condiment but its actually a mixture of all kinds of ingredients with their [...]
