Tens

Happy 10/10/10 to all my fellow number lovin’ freaks 🙂 Friday Kyle & I headed up to the Bay Area to spend the weekend with my fam.  Saturday was harvest at my fam’s vineyard. and the Cal v. UCLA football game.  And today, Sunday, we are heading back to So Cal. Here are some pics from the weekend, some food, some not. Eats for the I-5 Cheerios, raw nuts, pumpkin seeds, carob chips, and raisins. PB & Jizzle (ew?) & Gingerfizzle (so glad Synergy Kombucha is BACK!!!)

Rehearsal recap

If you’re sick of all the wedding posts, you may as well skip this one too.  Ok just kidding.  I promise there are no photos of me in a white dress, but I do feel obligated to do a post featuring the delicious cuisine from our rehearsal dinner.  This is a food blog after all. Faz is a gem of a restaurant.  It’s located in Danville – on the cutest street – and showcases classic Mediterranean food.  As if I’d have a rehearsal dinner that didn’t feature hummus!?!  Puh-leez.  So after practicing this… …we all… Read more >

Three courses complete with wine pairings (included in the price no less) for $34.  You can’t turn that down. I was initially going with Ethel, my FPIC, but Kyle got out of school early and decided to join us. There were so many restaurants participating…it was a hard choice, but in the end we settled on La Grande Orange (mostly because of how fun it was to say in a ridiculous… Read more >

Get over yourself

That’s what I had to say to myself yesterday.  Boy oh boy what a weird day.  As some of you know, I’ve been growing my hair out to donate.  It’s been hard these past few weeks because I’ve really wanted to cut it.  It’s gotten to be such a pain.  I mean just look at that mane.  It’s unruly and impossible and takes way too much time to manage.  But there is an 8 inch length requirement to donate.  That’s a lot of hair!  And while I do have a lot of hair (I mean… Read more >
