First ever Lara Dean recipe: Low cal– and so good… go figure.
You can add any veggies you want or take them out, but I find that this is the perfect blend of sweet and sour, protein and fiber! And no, those little brown things are not bugs…they are raisins. I guess CEO’s have more time on their hands than I thought.

Even I hate this reporter
Do you really care about the White House breech that much Ms. Ryan? I mean jeez. Be a good reporter. Perez Hilton already has the gossip theories covered.
Liar Tiger, pants on fire
Does anyone really care that Tiger committed, um, transgressions? Does anyone really care that his $1billion (yes, I said $1 billion) sponsor deals may drop right down into la toilette? The only one I care about is his, well, no one. In my opinion, if this country didn’t make such a big deal about infidelity, 911 would never have happened. Yes, while DC impeached, the Republicans preached, and our country was breached by the terrorists. So, this should be another lesson to us. Or to you. Is life so boring that we need to follow the transgressions of …well, anyone? What say you?
The cost of doing business
I couldn’t believe that by the time I got out of the house today at 4PM the sun was already starting it’s downward dog. But alas, (I was motivated after reading an article that Brazilians stay thin by eating lots of vegetables) to visit the Union Square farmers market to get those last fresh fall apples (and brownies and whole wheat bread) and one of my favorite things, goat cheese. I happen to favor one especially creamy and delicious brand Lynn Haven Farms. And me (being me) trying to build up my business asks Lynn herself, “so do you have a web-site?” and she’s like “well, I do, but I HATE online orders. In fact, I actually PAY money to sell online. And besides, building by business would mean 100 more goats, and 100 more goats? Well that just means 400 more feet to trim. ”
I’ve never quite thought of growing a business quite in the form the cost of trimming goat hoofs. But now that you mention it? It kinda puts a whole new light on things.
Two year old delivers baby
Now if that ain’t the way to save us all about $2000. Truly amazing. And I can’t even get Bella to make her bed. Go figure. I guess they do it differently down south.
However, it bothers me a tad that the doctors didn’t know it was a boy. Where was his wee-wee during all those sonograms? I guess medicine isn’t always worth the dollars you are spending. Obama care here we come??

New York or LA: worst place to raise a teenage daughter
It’s been ages and ages I know. But that’s what happens when you become a CEO, little did I know, you become a slave to your business. At first, I was like, no more frowns in the morning, no more frowns at night. Because I work for myself, no one left to fight. Hmmmm. Something like that. Well anyway, I diverge from the topic which, was brought up because, one of my fav shows (Californication–if you haven’t watched it, you should ) has a dilemma…his baby mama (let’s say teenage daughter mama) has moved from glorious Venice beach to have some kind of career, where? Back in the big dirty apple. And last week’s episode was like: “L.A. is no place to raise a teenager.” And I’m like, “so, um, what, you’re taking her back to New York? Are you f’ing KIDDING me?” How do these script writers come up with this stuff and now I’m like, OK, maybe I’m over reacting here, and maybe NY IS better. So, I drew up this little pro and con list of the best versus west in terms of raising a teen:
Answers, btw, were supplied by several teenage daughters on either side of these great divided states. So there you have it, moms and dads. Both coasts are…equally bad. So now a quiz:
On which coast was this muchacha raised?
That was actually a rhetorical question. But a girl after my own heart. I’ll give you a hint. It ain’t where you think.
Cheers,
Lara
Actually, there is an 11th sign the world has gone mad:
The fact that people who drug and rape 13 year olds should be allowed to go free if:
- They win the academy award or the Palme d’Or
- they direct fantastic movies,
- if the event happened so long ago, the now 43 year old victim is over it
- If Whoopie Goldberg says it wasn’t really a “rape, rape”
- That, and the fact that the potential rapist has been on the lam so long should completely neutralize the drugging and raping of the potential 13 year old mentioned above.
Yes, the world is gone mad.
