Calabama Hot Sauce and Breakfast Sandwiches | Bucket Drop

ORDER HERE: https://calabama.la/ | @calabama

An all too familiar byproduct of the pandemic is social distancing. This of course has affected us social beings in countless ways. Our heart goes out to all the struggling restaurants and we’re thankful for the delivery apps to keep us fed. But we’re especially impressed with the creativity of Cara Haltiwanger, local LA chef and bar tender. She’s created mouthwatering breakfast sandwiches which she delivers via a bucket drop from a 4^th story brick building in East Hollywood. She’s not only satisfying our food cravings but allows us to get out of the house and experience a bit of community in a creative setting. Kudos to Cara. Who would have thunk that one day we’d be eating breakfast from a bucket?

KUMIHIMO | The Art of Japanese Silk Braiding by DOMYO
Sunday, February 13, 2022 11:00 am – 6:00 pm, (Additional Dates)
Japan House | 6801 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA

The tradition of kumihimo began in Japan in the sixth century in the Imperial Court and Buddhist temples, and by the ninth century, during the Heian period (794–1185), it reached its golden age. Braided silk cords of many styles and patterns were used for aristocratic costumes, interior furnishings and decorations, musical instruments, and religious equipment for temples and shrines.

UMIHIMO: The Art of Japanese Silk Braiding by DOMYO is the first exhibition in the United States to explore the history and art of Japanese silk braiding, or kumihimo?(“braided cords”). The JAPAN HOUSE touring exhibition is produced by Yusoku Kumihimo Domyo (Domyo), a Tokyo-based company that has been making braided silk cords by hand since 1652.

Victory Garden LA

on By

A lot of us have figured out things to do to occupy our free time during the pandemic. Some constructive, some not so much. One of the more popular outlets has been gardening. We at Modern Living LA are very impressed with the folks at Victory Garden LA. One victory garden for personal use led to three more for a friend.

A much welcomed business was formed. Their tag line reads “a group of out of work industry types, trying to pay our bills, one beautiful planter box at a time”. Well let’s help them pay those bills while giving us something to look forward to working on over the weekend.

The Art Room

on By

“So you’re familiar with hybrid cars and hybrid dogs right?
But, let’s not be overly impressed by the combination of merely two things.
Designed by AUX Architecture, the Art Room is a 7,750 square foot creative space housing a restaurant, art gallery, studio and venue for creative collaborations with artists, designers, musicians, architects, chefs, baristas, mixologists, photographers and performers.
Take that, Saint Berdoodle and Noofypoo! You’ve got nothing on The Art Room.
We’re so excited to eat, art gaze and pop in some ear plugs for the big music show.

What’s really great is the as yet untitled restaurant will be helmed by D Brandon Walker.
We hear he’s a big proponent of helping folks with hardships get back on their feet thru culinary training. If all this isn’t reason enough to check out The Art Room, well ,
you still have the Prius to fall back on.” …la.eater.com
