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 →
Food on Wheels
With the food truck trend increasing in popularity all over the nation (especially prevalent in the Food Network's The Great Food Truck Race), I find myself wondering if the trend has reached the summit. Admittedly, I still get a rush when I check my Twitter feed to discover that a food truck is near me... Continue Reading →
“Master, I shall die if I do not taste a little of this chocolate pie.”
Several months ago Paul complained to me that I make too many desserts. Additionally that he has never eaten as much dessert before as he has since he's been with me. Honestly, I had no reply to this statement, only that I liked cooking and that being in the kitchen is a form of stress-relief... Continue Reading →
Shave Ice: It’s What’s for Dinner
With summer weather finally hitting Southern California this past weekend, the last thing I want to do was spend it in a kitchen over a hot stove. Consuming hot, steaming food seems less appealing, so the next option? Shave ice. It instantly cools the body and — if you're not careful — can give a... 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 →
Next Saturday: I’ll be there
Next Saturday, September 25, Paul -- the subject of many of my posts -- will be doing a signing for his third book, Cool Jerk Vol. 3: Bimboozled at M-Theory Music on Washington Ave. in Mission Hills from 5-8 p.m. His other books will also be available and I will be there too, supporting him and...

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 →
My Burning Kitchen... on the road
