I have a weakness for croissants: plain croissants, chocolate croissants, ham and cheese croissants and croissants stuffed with gelato. My favorite above all are almond croissants. At bakeries and coffee shops, almond croissants are slightly more than your plain variety but I recently discovered that you can make them at home! Correction on making it... Continue Reading →
If you’re a frequent Costco visitor like me, you probably noticed the slew of new menu items slowly unveiled this year. It was so significant that the members-only warehouse made news this summer ditching old items like Polish hot dogs to make room for its so-called healthier options.

San Diego Comic-Con is a busy every year for us. Between Paul prepping for Cool Jerk for the convention and me balancing work, the thing I look forward to the most is catching up with friends. If you’ve ever been an exhibitor at any convention, it’s really hard to get away from the table and... Continue Reading →

Young’uns not familiar with film photos won’t know what it’s like dropping off a roll of film to be processed, waiting for... Continue Reading →
Media tours are a funny thing. I’ve been on a few over the years like San Felipe, Montreal, Hawaii and Montana, it has never been a vacation for me. For one, with the exception of Mexico, I can never bring a guest. And two, everyone on the tour is on a strict schedule. There’s almost... Continue Reading →
But I did make this! Mashing up several properties into one spastic video that has nothing to do with the holidays. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Darlene, Paul and Doctor!
Longtime readers might know our family doesn’t eat turkey on Thanksgiving. I’ve slipped a few years giving way to baking a bird but still feel the dissatisfaction of dealing with the bones and rest of the remains. But my weekly trip to Trader Joe’s revealed a new holiday item: Turkey & Stuffing En Croute. I’m... Continue Reading →
