LarryLand Bean and Kale Soup

One of my favorite things to do on a bitterly cold winter day here in LarryLand is to make soup in a crockpot. Yes, when the weather gets to freezer like temperatures (i.e. low 60’s), we pull on hoodies over our t-shirts, wear shoes instead of flip-flops and hide indoors watching Norm Abrams make sawdust…

It’s Thyme for LarryLand Lemon and Olive Bread

I’ve been baking bread for a LOOOONNNGGGGG Thyme, er, time. Long before everyone took up sourdough during the pandemic and made bread flour from King Arthur very expensive. This bread recipe is a mock-sourdough – go ahead, mock it! The lemon juice and olives add a nice tart taste. I assume you know how to…

Going Dutch (Coffee, that is)

Recently a new Dutch Bros Coffee kiosk opened in a parking lot near LarryLand. As we learned in my article Half Baked (See Half-Baked ), I am the king of non-committal coffee drinks. So, there was much excitement in the kingdom; we were committed to trying it. Is it the ‘Bucks or the ‘Bros?

Guest Column: The greatest love story (that wasn’t written by Nora Ephron)
For those on here who might not know me, I’m Larry’s daughter, Mollie. I’m the one who helped set up this blog (yes that is my fault, I accept all responsibility). Because I set this page up, I still have some access to this blog and will wield this power today as I see fit…

Poor Taylor Swift
At the store the other day I saw the “ultimate guide” to Taylor Swift that proclaimed she was: Fierce! Fearless! Fantastic! I kinda feel sorry for her. Apparently she is Totally F’d.

A Question of Faith
I write this more introspectively. It isn’t clear why I would choose to post it, but perhaps it can hit a chord with some. For that reason, I respectfully ask that you decline comments on this piece.

Long Live Rock En Español

I’m standing in front of the stage at the Whiskey A Go Go wearing a t-shirt that I bought at Carnegie Hall in 1988. It doesn’t quite fit after 30 years and 30 pounds, but that’s ok. You might be asking – what in heck do the Whiskey and Carnegie have in common?It is Los…

New Year’s Resolution
Every year I resolve that I will eat healthier. On January 1 I managed to eat (in order) bagels, popovers, coffee, donuts, salami-wrapped cheese, soda cookies, chips, and pizza (with wine of course). On January 2, the oh-so-smug TV newsfolks said that I should “forgive my failures”. Failures??? Wait, I managed to get the “break…

Weather in LarryLand
According to “Chief Meteorologist” Dallas Raines (you just know that his career path was determined when he was a young lad) there is rain. Not only that, but it is “Leaving Hollywood” and “Traveling along the 5”, apparently heading out of town for the holidays. Only in LA can a storm get stuck in traffic…

Child’s Play

The Nutcracker is a child’s play. I was in it for 10 years. How’d that happen? If you had asked me 40 years ago in my twenties that I’d be part of a ballet, much less in one, I’d have thought you were Nuts, that you were Off Your Cracker that…. You’re right. A warning…
