My birthday week started last weekend with apple picking. After that we headed to lunch at Mendocino Farms. As much as I love the place, it’s not conveniently located for me. But since we had already been in the car for well over an hour, we figured what’s an extra few miles out of the way? Kyle got the Modern Tuna Melt which has “all white Albacore tuna with fresh herbs, farm house cheddar, vegenaise, housemade pickles, red onions, tomatoes, Scarborough Farm’s greens on panini grilled buckwheat.” He nixed the pickles, obviously, and deemed it… Read more >

Laziness continued. Coffee. Coffee. Fruit. Coffee. A perfect Sunday morning (“morning” being used loosely since I slept in a LOT). Random fact: I really love fruit salad but I never make it because I like it when it’s already at least a day old. That means I have to plan ahead so I get the exact level of oxidized fruit. I also think that bananas are the essence of any good fruit salad. That’s why I made this salad the night before. It had apples, strawberries, pineapple, blackberries, and bananas. If it… Read more >

Is there anything better than a long weekend? Yes. And that’s a long weekend house dog sitting here. With sunny weather, golf course views, and a well stocked fridge, there’s no reason to venture further than the community pool. Agreed? We drove down to San Juan Capistrano on Thursday evening and stayed through Monday. Some friends joined us for part of the time. We cooked. We ate. We drank. We relaxed. The weekend may as well be titled “blissful nothingness”. It was perfect. When we first arrived, the priority was dinner. That’s what 3 hours… Read more >

Primo Passo Coffee Co. opened in March and in spite of it’s location (across the street from Starbucks and a few blocks away from Caffe Luxxe), it seems to be doing pretty well. Kyle has been twice, but yesterday was my first visit. I don’t frequent Montana Ave as often now that we’ve moved. Not that we are that much further away now, but it was nice to see our old ‘hood again. PPC co is on Montana and 7th. The interior felt minimalist and modern. Like they just want you to focus on… Read more >

Thursday through Monday I was in our nation’s capital. Some of the highlights (full stories to come): 1. If anyone is traveling through LAX or DCA in the near future, you may see my photo posted on a wanted sign. I broke bent the law and as much as I want to tell you all about it, I should probably speak to my lawyer before I post anything on the internet. 😉 Ok, I’m just kidding. What happened was I forgot to bring my wallet with me – including my ID – and had… Read more >
