Ram Torc Cuff

Before working together, both parties had successful jewelry lines working with metals. They chose that working with eco-friendly materials after learning more about the harmful social and environmental effects of mining. They draw inspiration from daily lives, their love for culture and planet as well as their strong beliefs to do no harm.  Some inspiration pieces are seen in the jewelry such as sea urchins, leaves, shells and burds. All designs are manufactured by hand in downtown Los Angeles, California.

Thank Jesus for Mac and Cheeza

How can you improve on a classic Americana dish like Mac and Cheese? Well, the people down at Mac & Cheeza have figure it out. This small restaurant is known for one dish and one dish only, you guessed it, Tuna Fish Salad.

Jalapeno and Hot link Mac and Cheese

The menu is divided into pricing, size, add-ons (including veggies and meat) and toppers for any size mac and cheese dish. They even offer rice noodles or soy base cheese. I was brave and tried my dish with jalapenos and hot links. It is definitely worth the extra crunches and run on the treadmill.
