Merry Millennium

Happy holidays everyone! It’s Christmas up in here 🙂 I’m working on the 25th, so Santa was nice and obliging and came early this year (this post is from the 21st). To celebrate as a family, we all went to dinner in the city. In spite of the gross weather, we headed into San Francisco early to browse the Ferry Building, check out the tree (in Union Square) and grab some drinks at the famous Harry Denton’s Starlight Room.  Views of the Ferry Building… Making our way to Union Square… SF love   After soaking… Read more >

The Longest Commute

On Sunday I worked from 7 am to 7:30 pm and then headed home… I arrived at 1:30 am. Confused? I’m home with the fam! As I mentioned in my last post, Kyle dropped me off at work so that he would have the car all day, and then be able to pick me up after work so we could leave straight away.  And by straight away, I mean, after stopping at Whole Foods for dinner. 😉 We made it home safe and sound – no thanks to the stormy California weather…slept in ‘til 10….

The (new) Veggie Grill

On Saturday night I was invited to a pre-opening meal at a new restaurant… [these are the perks of food blogging that Kyle really enjoys] You may have heard of The Veggie Grill before, since they have a few other locations in the Southern California area.  This new site is mere blocks from our apartment, so we were both excited to try it out (for free no less!).  Several staff members welcomed us upon arrival and then explained the menu, highlighting the favorites while encouraging us to browse it for ourselves.  We both ended up… Read more >

Govinda’s

I’d been looking forward to Saturday’s date with Lynn since we first lined our lunch up last month.  Unfortunately, I didn’t get to bed on Friday night until almost 4 am.  Oops! Clearly I woke up regretting that scheduling decision. As much as I have matured in the party planning realm, one key thing I forgot about raging into the wee hours is how much of a worthless sloth I tend to be the next day.  Hangover aside, I’m a trooper (and I like food blogger meet ups).  So come noon, I found myself on… Read more >

Hosting history

Kyle and I threw a holiday party on Friday night…which proved to be a reminder of both how much we have and have not changed since college.  Nowadays, I approach these kind of events with a plan.  In college, I was too busy sleeping through my 2 pm classes…to-do lists weren’t even on my radar yet. Sweeping, mopping, dusting, and scrubbing were my forms of exercise yesterday.  My 20 year old self, on the other hand, was fairly gym diligent.  Making sure we are ready for out of towners drunken shackers hasn’t seemed to change…except… Read more >
