LOS ANGELES: Hidden Los Angeles Part 4: Zee's Pick

LOS ANGELES: Hidden Los Angeles Part 4: Zee's Pick - Petsave Foundation

The elegant and exotic Zee chooses Petsave Foundation, a rescue foundation - but not your standard dog rescue, of which there are many noble organizations in Los Angeles, but they are not exactly under the radar. Petsave is a shelter dedicated to rescuing, caring for, and adopting domestic rabbits.

While it's not exactly an attraction, Petsave does offer you the opportunity to take a day off from your normal life and care for rabbits. Be warned, however, that it is not--as you may be imagining right now--a day of frolicking in a green and flowery meadow with snow white bun-buns.

If you volunteer, you will be expected to do domestic chores such as cleaning cages and changing food and water in addition to brushing and socializing with the rabbits. Grungy outfits are recommended so it's not exactly a pastoral day of fuzzy cuddles, but you do get to hang out with bunnies and you get to help some creatures who desperately need you.

If you want a day-trip of the feel good kind, and an activity that's different, there are worse ways you could spend the day that hanging out with rabbits.

RESTAURANT: Pinkberry

So I finally tried this famous (infamous?) yogurt shop that has begun the conquest of Los Angeles. The yogurt that is called "crackberry" by many. What the L.A. Times calls "the yogurt that launched a thousand parking tickets" due to the notoriously bad parking situation in its original location and its customers tendency to wait in lines for hours. It's the newest thing, taking the place of cupcakes, it seems. It's a rebirth of the frozen yogurt fad of the late '80s, but this time it's different. This yogurt is different. So, my lazy ass might be persuaded to go there, even though it's outside my 2 mile radius of things around my apartment. If it's really that good, I would go the extra .1 mile. But I would not go the extra .1 mile, AND have to go crazy trying to find parking AND then have to wait in life until my hairs turn grey. Nothing is that good. But now there's one I can walk to, and the line is not that long, so we decided to try...

ABOUT THIS BLOG

I've been evaluating my blog and have realized that, while I have lots of nifty posts, I don't really have a good overall explanation of what exactly this blog is all about, and what one can expect to find here. So I'm creating this post and will link to it in the sidebar for anyone who's interested. I am not a professional chef. I have not been cooking for years. I am not an expert who is going to make beautiful and amazing and complicated dishes to "wow" you. I am, in fact, quite the opposite. I am a total beginner. I've always lived in places with miniscule kitchens and concerned myself with schoolwork and studying and working and not paid the least bit of attention to what I was eating every day. And that's what this blog is all about. It's about me learning where my food comes from, how to make it properly, and how to enjoy it to the utmost. It's no fun to learn by myself, so I started the blog to keep track of what I learn, kind of like a...

Our local foodblogging establishment, la.foodblogging , has seen fit to allow me to contribute. From now on most of my Los Angeles centered posts will be done there, and linked to from here, in order to avoid duplication.
