Watch: It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
It’s hard to imagine a national holiday without a Charlie Brown special airing on national television.

Sally’s “sweet bambino”, Linus, with his security blanket in hand, heads out on his annual voyage to the pumpkin patch in … Continue reading
Eat: Black Bean and Pumpkin Soup
After weeks of buildup, today is officially Halloween and it would be horrible to not highlight a recipe that didn’t have pumpkin in it. I recently have become obsessed with black bean soup. It’s a deceptively hearty soup that has a lot of fiber and protein, so it’s good for you. Oh yeah, and it’s … Continue reading

Mirrors are an essential part of any home. I once tried to go a few months without having one in my apartment. Needless to say, I caved after a couple weeks. It’s not because I’m narcissistic because I am, it’s just another easy way to add some life to a living space. Mirrors come in all shapes, … Continue reading

Listen: Santigold
Songs: “Disparate Youth“, “L.E.S. Artistes“, and “Creator” I’ve been a huge fan of Santigold since her first single, “L.E.S. Artistes” was available for free on iTunes. A lot of the times, free singles of the week are hit and miss, but this song was not and once I heard it, I was hungry for more. … Continue reading
Drink: Michelada
It’s the funniest thing: for some reason, I cannot stomach a Bloody Mary, but I’m obsessed with micheladas. The Mexican drink is made with beer, lime juice, hot sauce, peppers, and different spices. Just like Bloody Marys, micheladas are used as a hangover remedy. I’m not a huge beer drinker, but if the taste is … Continue reading
Watch: Scream
I’m not a huge fan of horror movies. All the characters are stupid, naked, or both and even though it might sound harsh, I am indifferent to their deaths. Since Halloween is around the corner, television stations are having their Halloween movie marathons. If I had to choose, I would say one of my favorite … Continue reading
Eat: Pumpkin Gnocchi with Sage Butter and Feta
