Things we do on the weekend include chores (we try to do this as soon as possible to get it out of the way), take a nap (usually just me), estate sales (still looking for Action Comics no. 1 in mint) and go to farmers markets. Farmers markets are great for people watching, buying fantastic produce and... Continue Reading →
Music, Comics, Food
Paul's book-signing event was a huge success and thank you everyone who stopped by: old friends, many friends we only see during the comic-con but were locked out due to the fast sellout of tickets, my high school teacher who brought along some of his students and I also got a chance to finally meet...

Comics & Tacos Tomorrow
As Paul and I are gearing up for the event at M-Theory tomorrow, we are lucky to get the Tabe BBQ food truck to stop by for 90 minutes to sell their delicious Mexican-Asian fusion tacos and burritos. In addition, with each book purchase, we are including a coupon for a free taco of your choice from... Continue Reading →
I get mail, therefore I am
I love getting packages. In this era of instant messages arriving either via email or on my phone, it's nice to get a big, hefty package via snail mail. It's even better when it has treats from Europe. My brother recently returned from a work trip to Switzerland and promised to get some souvenirs for... Continue Reading →
Mmm… Hemoglob-licious
So I was at Borders a few days ago, trying to find something on which I could blow my 33%-off coupon, when I spotted a display of Tru Blood bottles. Because, you know, when you think "carbonated fake-blood beverage based on the HBO series 'True Blood,'" you think "Borders Books and Music." I had a... Continue Reading →

We have the greatest pre-nuptial agreement in the world. It’s called love.
I love weddings. Unfortunately, I'm at an age where most of my friends are already married and the next wedding I may very well be my brother's! The wedding we were invited to in Los Angeles this past weekend was a blast and we had a wonderful time. And our first wedding as a married... Continue Reading →
Why did Snoopy quit the comic strip? Because he was tired of working for peanuts.
Another San Diego Comic-Con has ended. Like many conventions, it’s been enjoyable to catch up with fellow exhibitors who have also become friends over the years, talking to many people who read Paul’s comic strip that have filtered over to my food blog and making new friends. It’s always sad when it’s finally over. I... Continue Reading →
Who put the “pop” in the “soda pop?”
Our refrigerator is a collection of things eaten throughout the week and condiments we can't live without. Upon a deep cleaning of it one day, I noticed the collection of sodas/energy drinks we have gathered throughout the years. Stuff we never had any intention of drinking but sit there on display in the refrigerator. It's... Continue Reading →
Orange shrimp and Planet of the Apes — It’s a madhouse!
Have you ever done something to impress someone you wanted to like you? Or just to make them aware that you existed? But in the doing that you discovered a bit about them and sometimes a bit about yourself? There was a time when I was "just friends" with Paul. I recall trying to impress... Continue Reading →
My Burning Kitchen... on the road
