Eating Your Feelings. Good or Bad? Discuss.

April 24, 2014 By Marta Darby 10 Comments

Today I want to talk about using food as comfort. I know we all do it. Let's just discuss this openly, shall we? I have a friend who, when struggling through personal difficulties, pulls out a box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. Not the gourmet kind of mac and cheese. (By the way, I have a fabulous recipe for Mac and Cheese in a Flat Pan right ...

The Things He’s Taught Me

April 17, 2014 By Marta Darby 4 Comments

It's my husband, Eric's birthday today. I don't know if I've ever mentioned it, but he's one of those people who is a natural-born teacher. He's a Search Marketing Guy in his real life, but I can confidently say that teaching is his real gift. (NOTE: Search Marketing is geek-speak for the guy who gets you on the ...

April 7, 2014 By Marta Darby 2 Comments

I have amazing news! I'm proud and privileged to announce that I was invited to be on the planning committee for Cuban Heritage Day at Dodger Stadium this year! (I know. Shut up.) Seriously, if I was going to add an item to my Bucket List, this would be it. Of course, I didn't know I would have added it until they actually asked me, but ...

Captain America: The Winter Soldier – a Review

April 3, 2014 By Marta Darby Leave a Comment

I am pretty much the worst person to have with you in a movie theater when the film in question is an action/adventure type. It has to do with learning styles. Let me explain... Because I'm a visual learner and have a vivid imagination, I see things and feel them viscerally and then I react audibly. (Of course, you could chalk this up to the ...

Captain America: The Winter Soldier *sigh*

April 2, 2014 By Marta Darby Leave a Comment

I got to attend another press junket a few weeks ago. Also, it's just recently that I've started actually using the word, "junket" with regularity in coherent sentences. Mostly because I finally looked it up. jun•ket noun 1. a sweet, custardlike food of flavored milk curdled with rennet.2. a pleasure excursion, as a picnic or ...
