Eating from the Sea
Trader Joe’s Roasted Seaweed Snack
By: Karen Lee
If you haven’t tried Trader Joe’s new Roasted Seaweed snack, get over to your local TJ’s. These snacks are so popular, people are literally buying then by the caseload. The Simi Valley store is completely sold out and the only local place I’ve seen them is the Fallbrook store.
Containing pressed seaweed, canola oil, sesame seed oil and sea salt, these 60 calorie packs are a healthy snack you can feel good about munching on at odd hours of the day. The health benefits of seaweed abounds as it is high in essential amino acids, which makes them valuable sources of vegetable protein in a vegetarian or mostly meatless diet.
Like most land vegetables, seaweeds contain vitamins A (beta carotene) and C. Seaweeds are rich in potassium, iron, calcium, iodine and magnesium because these minerals are concentrated in sea water. They are also one of the few vegetable sources of vitamin B-12.

Get Shaved Truck
By: Karen Lee
Based off Hawaiian shaved ice, The Get Shaved Truck, has brought the “ice cream truck” to a gourmet level. With a fusion of homemade syrup made from pure cane sugar combined with a multitude of delectable add ons, this is not your average shaved ice. Choose a scoop of 3 ice creams, throw on some sweet red bean past and indulge in the light, fluffy ice.
For those distrusting of themselves, choose from the trucks most popular menu items:
-Monkey Brains: Strawberry and Banana Shaved Ice over Vanilla Ice Cream and topped with Sweetened Condensed Milk
-Root Beer Dream: Root Beer Shaved Ice over Vanilla Ice Cream and topped with Sweetened Condensed Milk -Rockin’ Rainbow: Cherry, Blue Raspberry, Pineapple Shaved Ice over Vanilla Ice Cream.
Get Shaved is also opening brick and mortar shop in early May at 9255 Reseda Blvd. Next to Falafel Palace in Northridge.
Check out their website for locations or Twitter. You’ll often find them following Kogi BBQ.

Preparing for Earthquakes
By: Karen Lee
With the cluster of recent major earthquakes, from Haiti to Chile, to Baja California, we are reminded that we live in earthquake territory. We haven’t had a major earthquake in Southern California since January of 1994, and perhaps have gotten quite lax in our preparedness.
With that said, here are some ways we can prepare for earthquakes:
- Water-suggested supply of 3 days for every person in household, along with canned food (make sure to check the dates on your old canned goods and restock).
- Batteries for a portable radio, propane stove/lamps or perhaps an emergency generator.
- Candles and flashlights.
- How about a cell phone charger for your car in case phones and power are out.
- Update your first aid kit. Make sure you have an earthquake kit in your car with water and energy bars, along with walking shoes in case you have to leave your car.
- If you don’t have a gas shut off valve, tape a wrench to your gas valve and know how to turn it off in case of a leak. – And have an emergency plan that you discuss with your family-evacuation, meeting place, etc. Let’s hope we don’t need this but as the Boy Scouts say, “Be Prepared”.

Adopt a Golden Retriever in Southern California
These dogs need a home…
By: Karen Lee
Goldens for adoption
If you’re looking for a quality Golden Retriever from a foster home that’s never been kenneled,visit SCGRR.
Their Goldens are temperament tested, socialized and vetted prior to adoption. Their goal is to find loving, lifetime homes for all Southern California Goldens in need, regardless of condition or circumstance. They strive to build a refuge that serves as a halfway house where each of our beloved Goldens can rest and recuperate.
This organization is really special and I have many friends that have used this service to find their own pet. This is a great place to start when looking for a Golden.
