A few weeks ago Edible Skinny was lucky enough to tour the wine wonders of Paso Robles. Now we've done California vino before with jaunts to Napa, Sonoma, Santa Barbara, and Temecula, but this was our first delving into the world of Paso. It was an uncharted wine getaway, the perfect excuse for Kat and Kelly to hop in the car and discover all that this growing wine region has to offer. Paso Robles is located approximately halfway between the cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco. It is a...
What better way to educate, enlighten and entertain the audience by peeling and revealing their most torrid love affairs!

Dear Council Members, I spoke to all of you at a Council Meeting on August 23, 2016, asking for help to a specific problem for my business, inadvertently created by the City of Santa Monica.

Our general manager has spoken to City Staff dozens of times and given you a petition of over 300 student signatures. After almost a year, I'm writing now to give you a status report -- You've done...

In yet another example of how polarized our country has become, an online petition calls on musicians to boycott a concert of the Santa Monica Symphony to be guest conducted next month by Dennis Prager. He is a radio host whom some consider to be right wing, and the left cannot tolerate the right lately.
