Catch up the first part of the trip here. After a full night’s rest, Paul and I were revving to spend the entire day exploring. Unlike the previous day with scattered sprinkles, Saturday started off cloudy but we eventually saw the sun peeking through the clouds. We opted to skip eating at Palmer and headed...

Turn it back almost a year and we were prepping for Paul’s 50th birthday with a trip to Anchorage, Alaska. Then the Rover sitter lost Doctor. Between panicked calls and crying my eyes out, I somehow managed to call Travelocity to tell them about the emergency and because of the travel insurance, I was able... Continue Reading →
Since our trip to Sweden last year (more on that later), I’ve had a craving for Swedish cinnamon buns. If you’re like me, you might think they’re like American cinnamon rolls but they are not! The thick coating of cream cheese frosting is missing from the Swedish counterpart. While a cinnamon mixture is rolled up... Continue Reading →
When was the last time you sat down in a Pizza Hut restaurant? You can throw a rock and hit one of the numerous carry out and delivery hotspots throughout the country but you’ll have to look harder to find full-fledged Pizza Hut restaurants. Head to Coronado Avenue in Imperial Beach. This was same spot... Continue Reading →
It comes as no surprise to me that poke shops are seemingly everywhere. Poke has replaced cupcakes, frozen yogurt and juice bars as today’s on trend foods but with so many poke shops, just how many of them of using quality fish? In the back of my mind, I’m imagining many shops head out to... Continue Reading →
I can count the number of times I’ve eaten at Chipotle and a standout item for me is their cilantro-lime rice. Make it at home and the fragrant rice can be the foundation for any meal. I like heating up canned black beans, adding spicy pico de gallo and avocado for a complete, meat-free meal.... Continue Reading →
Paul’s recent doctor’s appointment was a milestone. The big 5-0. Along getting his vitals in check and blood test for a possible colonoscopy (hey now), Paul was also told to up his antioxidants meaning certain vitamins to his diet and foods as well. I clung onto one word he mentioned: blueberries. Since blueberries are starting... Continue Reading →
It’s been a long time since my trip to Denmark and Sweden in the summer of 2017 but I felt it was important to document it for my failing memory. My invitation came from Absolut Elyx, a luxury brand vodka. The trip included a flight to Copenhagen, Denmark and car ride to Sweden where the... Continue Reading →
I’m running out of fast-food franchises that serve fish sandwiches, at least at a local level. A few years ago KFC touted a blink-and-you-missed-it “lent-seasonal” fish sandwich, and Chick-Fil-A offers a fish sandwich but not in this market. And burger joints Five Guys, Smashburger, Little Big Burger and Shake Shack— no dice. Floundering, I... Continue Reading →
