Why I'm Moving to New York

There's no comfort in a void. It's a landscape unknown. A dark pond that hides rocks, fallen trees, and dead fish.

But I've skinny dipped in enough dark water to know, that feeling your soft cold flesh in all that

salt

grey matter,

slick film

the not-knowing-how-deep-this-place-actually-is

is the surest way to realize your own body

to love the muscle and fat that you despised on land.

I remember the movie Free Willy.

When the orca paced its chlorine tank, fin curled in submission.

And then with love from a few of his captors

Who put him on a truck and poured small amounts of water on his body in transit

Rolled him back into the bay.

and Willy went back to sea.

It's enough to make one leap.

So I Couldn't Wait for the real Video...

Yummy Yummy in my Tummy Tutorial ... with Jessica Coors

This Week Jess demonstrates how to make your own Vegan Broth!

First, when making delicious meals like the beautiful taco salad below...

(butter lettuce with black beans, avocado, and corn salsa)

Consider keeping the Scraps!
- this includes all peels, stems, wilted parts, and 'undesirable' odds and ends, garlic and ginger stems ensure lovely flavor.

Pile the scraps in a ziploc in your freezer, now you're a collector!

When you have a large bag full, put it all in the pot with your favorite seasonings like red pepper flakes, salt, and whole bay leaves.

Next, fill your large stock pot full of scraps with water and let it simmer!

Now cook that mess!

After your scraps have boiled in their juices, use a strainer to get that thick broth.

Now you've got your own tasty homomade vegan broth! Freeze it in cubes for easy adding into soups and casseroles, or keep it in the fridge!

... and for dessert:

Chocolate raspberry brownie (with frozen fresh raspberries and raspberry preserves)

Good Lawd!

Too Dope?

Oh, Madge, You Got Our Luvin'

Nicki + MIA + Madonna = DUN.

Why Ru is Forever

RuPaul has been a source of inspiration for millions - a singer, actor, drag queen, icon, and healer. I've had the pleasure of reading Ru's books, listening to RuPaul songs (new favorite here) and watching "RuPaul's Drag Race" on Logo.

When you grow up, its easy to idolize those around you - whether they're cartoons, politicians, or institutions -- because you're naive, but also because you're willing to be generous and imaginative in your perspective. Keeping that generous spirit and optimistic outlook as you age is a challenge, one that Ru's seemed to master.

“Everything is fake,” he said. “Once you’ve seen ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ you have all you need to know about this world: What you think and what is are completely separate. But what you think is also real because you’ve made it real! Celine Dion doesn’t write the songs, but they’re hers.”

Rich Juzwiak of TheDaily.com got a chance to Ruminate on life, love, the ego, and celebrity at Ru's home in Los Angeles...
