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.

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...

I hate to even utter the words 'food poisoning' because I haven't suffered a case in about 3 years. In addition, have a... Continue Reading →
In an effort to catch up with posts, I thought I'd write about my visit to Cleveland last year. My brother was moving from Ohio to Kentucky later in the year so I made it a point to make one last visit before he and my sister-in-law packed up and left the state. The visit... Continue Reading →
It would have been some time today that I'd call my mom up to share our fondest memories of Allan, and even some sad ones. I'd set aside some time and just talk. Call it part of our shared grieving process but even decades after his death, knowing how January 22 defined us meant a... Continue Reading →
Last fall, I received an invitation to visit The Taste. If you're not familiar with the reality TV show, it's where contestants of all walks of life compete on a cooking-reality show for a monetary prize. And it's based on one fateful bite. Produced by culinary superstars Nigella Lawson and Anthony Bourdain, it's currently in its... Continue Reading →
