To read the first part of the trip in Japan, click here. Flying from Japan to Philippines took approximately four hours and despite the relatively short trip, we were still fed on the flight. Paul and I were handed laminated menus with a choice of two Japanese dishes - interesting since I thought we would... Continue Reading →
Thanksgiving last year was unlike any Thanksgivings of past. The previous holiday (2014) passed me over after getting the news of my mom’s passing and her wishes to be buried 24 hours after her death which made a trip to attend the funeral impossible. So in 2015, I made an effort to visit her on... Continue Reading →
San Diego Comic-Con 2016 is finally over and quite honestly, we're not sad to see it go. If you were one of hundreds of people who stopped by the table to say 'hi' and buy a book or shirt, you likely got a story about Paul's current medical condition. He has a kidney stone but it's...

By now I would have posted my top choices of where to eat downtown during this year's comic-con. But you know what? I've been hella busy over at Zagat.

Since the closing of Fresh & Easy and many area Albertsons, I've been looking forward to new grocery stores to replace the empty space. News of one of them caught my... Continue Reading →
There's really no room in my diet for fast food. Aside from the occasional In-N-Out cleanse and Mc D's vanilla cone, I avoid fast food like the plaque. My one exception is spicy food. My last write up on spicy food was Popeyes Ghost Pepper wings which were a huge disappointment. I didn't get that... Continue Reading →
Here's a revelation for you folks reading this: I pay for my own food. In my last three plus years of doing the professional food writing gig, I've spoken to a few dozen people who do the same thing as I do and discovered that whatever they eat out for work, it comes out of... Continue Reading →
Late last year and early into this year, I was in a frenzy to get our bedroom into tip top shape. That includes upgrading our full-sized bed – yes, full! – into a queen, buying a bed frame and installing floating shelves to save space in our tight quarters. This involved multiple trips to and...
