It ain’t summer even though it feels like summer. 70 degrees in November in San Francisco. Unbelievable. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside, which is probably why I’ve observed a shocking phenomenon to complement this strange sunny weather….
3 Minute Meals
Speaking of food, I have a food product to recommend. I usually get on these kicks of eating the same thing for long periods of time. Remember when I ate Lean Cuisine spaghetti with meat sauce ad nauseum? Now we…
Pork Bella
We did bounce back from an awful dinner in Paso Robles with better restaurants in Santa Barbara–Hungry Cat and Julienne. We opted for the five course tasting menu to complement the five star reviews at Julienne. The first two courses started…

Weekend in the City
The other night someone told me that they enjoy reading my Yelp reviews which I do inconsistently. Never enough hours in the day. My favorite travel guide is Frommer’s. The books are visually-appealing with an easy-to-read layout and structure, starting…
