An energy- efficient kitchen remodel for a celebrity chef
Check out a slide show of Jamie's kitchen remodel.
Jamie Gwen pulls a batch of perfectly brown Ginger Chocolate Chip Cookies, with crispy edges and chewy centers, from her new energy-efficient convection oven. And that's a result not always easy accomplished from a conventional oven even in the hands of a professional chef. Gwen, a local celebrity chef and cookbook author, cooks and bakes with new eco-friendly appliances since the recent $75,000 remodel of the kitchen in her Newport Beach home. "The ultimate goal was to create a kitchen that wouldn't have a negative impact on our fragile environment," she said. The completed redo also gives her a more open and stylish space conducive to entertaining. After living in her townhome for five years, Gwen's motivation to renovate peaked when she hosted a dinner party for a group of friends.
In Season: Strawberries
At first blush, this might look like it's a week late. But last week, growers and retailers were sweating strawberries up until the last minute: Too much rain threatened to ruin at least part of the crop. As it turned out, not only were strawberries plentiful for Valentine's Day, but the rains let up and those berries signaled the start of a good spring season. .

Jill Sobule column companion piece
This came back in the days before MTV was a fixture in every home, and I remember seeing the clips be-tween movies on HBO or Showtime. The “Mister Sandman" clip was a mime of a performance, with the singer and others dressed in 1940s-style garb, which was cute. I half-paid attention, knowing the song and not being impressed with miming. Harris, as an Andrews Sisters-style singer, was romancing a soldier in the clip. But as “Mister Sandman" ended, its closing note cross-faded to a minor-key chord, taking me a little by surprise. Snapshots of a wedding between Harris and the soldier character came up on the screen, followed by more family scenes, each showing a little more disenchantment. Then came a performance video of Harris' “I Don't Have To Crawl," which opens with the lines: When you look at me like you don't know me And you talk to me like you've never met me Later, Harris sings, “If I wanted to I could be long gone, and I don't have to crawl." It was chilling and breathtaking and all of the things unexpectedly great art is supposed to be.
