Tipp’s Tip of the Week: Ridin’ Solo

By: Steve Tipp

Ok, I’m ready to go with my Summer Single pick. I know it’s only July 16 but I am going with Pop Single of the Summer Jason Derulo “Ridin’ Solo.” The video is really lame, ok maybe it’s an homage to Michael Jackson, what-ever. I still love the song. The version I have on my iPod starts with a sample from The Verve’s “Bittersweet Symphony,” which is one of my very favorite songs of all times. I love this groove and it might just really strike me because I hear it riding my bicycle solo and it works.

My Alternative Pop Summer Single is Broken Bells “The High Road” and it is my top album of the year!

Congratulations by MGMT

By: Steve Tipp

MGMT’s debut album “Oracular Spectacular” was one of my favorite debut’s of the last couple of years.  It featured 3 stellar singles and still sounds great on the radio. So their follow-up “Congratulations” was highly anticipated. It is a great album in some ways (mostly sound and artistry) but it doesn’t have the single uuumph of “Oracular…” When young bands have big success many times the follow up is a let down, some times by design!  Nirvana’s “Nevermind” and Green Day’s “Dookie” were both followed by more adventurous and more challenging follow-up’s. So that’s what you get with MGMT’s “Congratulations” a really interesting electro pop record with much more arty hooks than poppy hooks. It’s fun and adventurous but not for the teeny boppers.

Trader Joe’s Roasted Seaweed Snack

By: Karen Lee

If you haven’t tried Trader Joe’s new Roasted Seaweed snack, get over to your local TJ’s. These snacks are so popular, people are literally buying then by the caseload. The Simi Valley store is completely sold out and the only local place I’ve seen them is the Fallbrook store.

Containing pressed seaweed, canola oil, sesame seed oil and sea salt, these 60 calorie packs are a healthy snack you can feel good about munching on at odd hours of the day. The health benefits of seaweed abounds as it is high in essential amino acids, which makes them valuable sources of vegetable protein in a vegetarian or mostly meatless diet.

Like most land vegetables, seaweeds contain vitamins A (beta carotene) and C. Seaweeds are rich in potassium, iron, calcium, iodine and magnesium because these minerals are concentrated in sea water. They are also one of the few vegetable sources of vitamin B-12.

For authentic Mexican food

By: Cindy Libonati

For some hearty, heavy, completely authentic mexican food in the West San Fernando Valley, Taqueria Tapatio is spot.  Unlike many authentic spots in Woodland Hills and Canoga Park, El Taqueria Tapatio is clean, has an ‘A’ rating, and provides a healthy setting with a couple flat screens and plenty of Mexican decor. Their extensive menu has it all. Almost anything you can think of exists from juicy Al Pastor tacos to Chile Relleno burritos. We sat there, under the air conditioning, watching the world cup, sipping our Coke from the bottle.

The taqueria caters as well; so it’s a great place to call if you’re hosting a (818) 883-6142.

Friday Lunch pick

By: Steve Tipp

Looking for a quick, economical choice in Woodland Hills can sometimes be a bit risky. But if you want to be confident in a clean choice with great, cheap lunch specials, step into Red Dragon. The place looks like a disaster from the outside but the interior is totally redone. New booths, painting and a flat screen make this a killer spot to watch the FIFA games. I recommend their Kung Pao chicken and spicy orange chicken for those who like a little kick. You’ll also get a choice of soup, rice and egg rolls at unheard of $5.50. Bring the boys and watch the game!

Lunch pick: Best for watching FIFA

By: Lori Einhorn

I popped into Kabobii Restaurant on Ventura Blv for a quick lunch and found the Brazil vs. N. Korea Soccer game streaming on their flat screen. I ordered a Chicken Koobideh Sandwich, posted up on the air conditioner and began picking at the flat bread. Kabobii has a lunch menu with an assortment of kaboobs, stews and salads all pulsing with a traditional middle eastern taste.

The environment is a perfect lunch setting to grab some fresh, healthy food and enjoy a friendly environment. Stop by to get your taste of Kabobii. And be weary of your onion intake, you may be surprised by your new breath.

Open everyday from 11 a.m. to 8p.m. Kabobii 22941 Ventura Blvd
