In this Los Angeles land, there's no love for a lot of foods that I love on the east coast. Many things I can't find, such as the aforementioned ice cream, even though I really can't say I haven't found it because I only went to one place once.
The only other thing I really want to say about food is that it only occurred to me that a "fluffernutter", or a peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwich, is an exclusively Massachusetts food. I was looked at like I had two heads when I talked of the delights of eating them in my youth. You are missing out, people. They aren't healthy but really, what's healthy these days?
So I just recently passed the 7 month mark of my LA adventure, and I finally have an apartment that is mine to really make my own, and it's pretty exciting. It has a front and back door so it's very home-like, and not impersonal. I can't wait to get some shelves and drawers in my room to really get things nice and clean. It's definitely a work in progress but this time I know I'm not necessarily going anywhere soon. Also I want some art for the walls. The place definitely needs some sprucing but there's time for that.
I'm still not really sure what the job front is bringing me. There's a huge recession right now so I decided to stick to the temp agencies, and I think things will be coming through soon, at least I hope so. One agency likes me, so I think I could be placed with them again any day now. Take it little by little.
I'm getting tired but maybe next time my update will be a little more interesting.

Speaking of fluffernutters, you should have seen the looks on the faces of my kids in Australia when I tried to explain what they are. My mum shipped a few containers of fluff and they took them at customs and I never got them back! I have a great recipe for Pistachio cake, if you want to try it message me on facebook. It's not ice cream but it might curb the craving.

1. I totally know what fluffernutters are (and I'm a West Coast kid, through and through). Blame it on a childhood of reading Ann M. Martin books. Claudia Kishi, artistic wonder of the Baby-sitter's Club, loved them.
2. I know where to obtain pistachio ice cream. Granted, it's mostly in the freezer section of your local grocery store, but I love that stuff. I do find that I'm generally disappointed with American pistachio ice cream compared to Scandinavian pistachio ice cream. As a side note, there is always pistachio pudding ready to be made in my apartment. ALWAYS!
