This holiday will rejuvenate most signs and see them filled with renewed confidence and joy. There will be sense of connection establishing relationships and rekindling old ones long past. Expect more casual parties in homes rather than elaborate nights out on the town. Earth and Water signs will be happiest hosting while Fire and Air will revel in being the guests. Communication is good so don't be shy among strangers and be open to small-talk by being curious or taking an interest in something new. Use this communal energy to create harmony.

The Cherpumple is an original recipe from the Charles Phoenix Test Kitchen, and the most talked about new dessert to come along in years.
It's a three-layer cake with a pie stuffed in each layer. YUM! Cherpumple is short for CHERry, PUMpkin and apPLE pie. The apple pie is baked in spice cake, the pumpkin in yellow and the cherry in white. I DARE YOU TO TRY IT AT HOME!

 Hungry and need to rest your weary feet after a jaunt to LACMA, the La Brea Tarpits or the Peterson Museum? Feel like being an urban explorer? Then follow me folks and we are on our way to some amazing modern soul comfort food.
If you sneeze, you will miss this place and that is something you do NOT want to do. Tucked away in a mini-mall on Pico and Curson, you will find this little gem My Two Cents. They are now coining this hood Wilshire Vista and lots of cool independent shops, cafes, and bakeries are beginning to emerge. Allow yourself to explore East on Pico after you chow down...
