David Archuleta on “Jenny Jones”

What a nice surprise to see that my show was mentioned in David Archuleta’s memoirs.  The American Idol phenom is 19 years old now but when we he was only eleven, he tore up the Jenny Jones stage with the Dream Girls song, “And I Am Telling You.”  I have a copy of his performance to be viewed.  Sorry that it’s not a good quality but it’s still exciting to watch.  He got a standing ovation!  Click here to see it.

She used to lock me in the closet…

She used to lock me in the closet and tell me there was a monster in there but now my closet is the size of a small gymnasium so I have nothing to fear. 🙂 My sister is coming in from Canada today for the weekend.  She arrives tonight and we’re going to have fun, fun, fun! We’ll be doing the Hollywood thing, see the Hollywood sign, Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, Farmer’s Market, the Grove, Santa Monica Pier, and shop.  This photo was taken in Italy in 1949.  She’s the one with the chipmunk cheeks and I look like I’m expecting twins.

Congrats to a friend.

Congratulations to my friend, Vince, who graduates next month with his Masters.  He’s always looked like a movie star but this spectacular photo of him was taken at the top of the Sears Tower in Chicago. What a testament to his commitment and hard work.  Congratulations, Vince!

I might break a leg.

I wonder if other Californians are like me.  When I find myself in different locations, I wonder how badly I’d be hurt if the big earthquake happened right then.  Like today at mall on the 2nd floor, I looked down and thought, “I’d probably survive but I might break a leg.”  When I’m in a high-rise, I’m not as optimistic.  My least favorite place is stuck at a red light under a freeway overpass, but if there’s a big truck in front of me, I feel safer because I’ve decided the truck would stop the chunks of concrete from landing on me.  Does that make me paranoid or do I just need a hobby?

How to eat a calzone

I never thought to actually stick my entire face into a calzone to eat it, but it worked well for this little girl.  Ruby is the 15-month-old daughter of my website developer, Robert and his wife, Heather.  Robert swears this is a calzone but I still think it looks like a side of ham. 🙂 

How cute is she?  

You go, Ruby!

My new blog is here!

We just switched to the new server and my new blog is here!  It may take a few days for this site to be up to speed so please be patient while the web geeks do their thing.  Are you imagining a bunch of young guys with glasses wearing short-sleeved shirts and ties?  What, no women web geeks?  Of course not.  If women were doing it, we’d have been done two weeks ago  …just kidding, Robert 🙂  Besides, the women can’t do it – they’re in management.  Ouch!

Just days away from switching…

We are just days away from switching to a new and bigger server for this website! Along with the switch will be my new blog and shortly after that, we’ll be adding a bunch of new How-To videos. This time I’ll be doing my healthy hot-fudge sundae and a Dutch Baby pancake. I went out last night to get a few props for the new videos. My only goal is to motivate more people to cook and get healthy.

Do Biore Strips Really Work?

Hi Jenny,

I happen to find your page because I was looking for foods that make your skin glow. I eat most of the stuff that you listed but was amazed by other things such as red peppers! I’m going to favorite your page. I like your skin routine as well. I’m going to go find me a clay mask. I was wondering do those biore strips really work? I have a few black heads or dark spots on my face, do you know what should I do to get rid of them?  Thank you kindly,  Janise.

Janise,

I do believe the Biore strips work but it also helps to thoroughly clean your skin every day, and if your skin is oily, use an oil-free moisturizer so your pores don’t get clogged. Take care.

Jenny
