Looking back two years ago, when I decided to apply for "MasterChef," I never thought I'd get a callback, let alone compete as part of Team GenX. The process was intense! Tens of thousands of home cooks from across the U.S. applied, all hoping to cook for Gordon Ramsay. When I received an email saying I was being considered to audition, it was the start of many more. Each email required something new: a cooking technique video, a specific dish and then one day, a dessert. Cue the panic! I'm not...

Over the last decade I have had quite a few couples come through my office for marriage/couples counseling. More often than not, couples either wait until it's too late to save their relationship or seek validation for ending it. At first, I wondered if it was me, but as I have spoken to colleagues and researchers, this is pretty typical. Whether it's too late or just in time, the two recurring themes that drive a wedge between couples are expectations and communication issues. The articles for...

With the combined efforts of my welder hubby, friends, Corral 83, Susie Mustaffa and her hubby Vince, Jay Schwartz, Vicki Cussans and Mark from Skylark Glider Port and Mark's gas powered post hole digger, we built and installed two 6-foot hitching posts, so riders can enjoy a beautiful ride with glider planes and mountain views at Raven's Nest Cafe. We have some touch up to do in order to finish it off, but what's better then gliders and horses? Mountain Valley Airport is located at 16334...
It's a catch-22. You feel that you should focus on paying down debt, but you also want to save for retirement. It may be comforting to know you're not alone. According to an Employee Benefit Research Institute survey, 18% of today's workers describe their debt level as a major problem, while 41% say it's a minor problem. And workers who say that debt is a problem are also more likely to feel stressed about their retirement savings prospects. Perhaps it's no surprise, then, that the largest propo...

As a business owner you do your best to prep and plan for everything that can happen. There are some things you just can't plan for. Recently equipment failed at my restaurant, J's Hideaway in Old Town Tehachapi. A line busted off of a vendor machine while we were closed and started to fill the restaurant with water. When our head cook, Rosa, came in a little after 5 a.m., she walked into two inches of water flooding the entire downstairs. I was immediately called and I rushed over as fast as...

Many stories have been shared about the great train wreck of Jan. 19 or 20, depending on whose research you want to believe in 1883. The tragedy of that night has played out many times and the stories and different accounts that are told will never truly be answered as the records of that event leave a lot open to speculation for the remoteness of Tehachapi in the 1880s, and the lack of eyewitnesses, not to mention the passage of time makes it very hard to find credible stories of that event. Th...
