It was chilly outside for us Californians tonight. Yes, we understand we don’t know what cold is when compared to other cities. I’ve been to parts of Japan where it is way freaking colder, but I’m not here to talk about climate and cold fronts. I mention all this because Norm and I were waiting [...]
Tonight, I met up with a friend and his wife at Sidebar on Grand Ave to celebrate his birthday. Good laughs and good food (damn good cauliflower), and there were a couple of places close by that looked like they were worth trying the next time we get together. I believe Coach Sushi has all-you-can-drink [...]
Friends and I always send each other emails about places we want to visit, and I’ll be honest, 97% (I need to hire a fact checker) of them are restaurants. Yelp bookmarks help, but I don’t want to have to visit the site every time we need to make a choice. Maybe I still want [...]
Below are some photos from Eat Real Festival in Jack London Square. We had a good time, and it looked like all the people there were enjoying the food and warm weather. We sampled falafels, pizza, tapas (shrimp, figs, gazpacho), chicken sausage rice, padron peppers, Korean meats in corn tortilla (not a misprint), chocolate, ice [...]
Below is my Yelp review of Gyros Express in Sacramento, CA followed by a comment from an unhappy Abdul R. Two Stars ** out of 5 11/19/2008 It was just a bit better than that chain called Daphne’s–the Denny’s of Mediterranean food–but that assessment is based on one very affordable gyro. A little harsh? Well, [...]
And some anmitsu sounds perfect right about now. Sure, I’m still behind on the exercise and my daily intake of fruits and vegetables, but look at the following photo from Just Hungry 8tokyo (The original photo stopped showing up, so I’m assuming Just Hungry doesn’t want me linking to their photos…I should’ve asked, I guess) [...]
I like tea and tea lattes. Starbucks now has them, and even though I prefer to support local coffee shops (not much choice in Vallejo), and I like the taste of Peet’s products (still need to used that gift card that my niece gave me), the coupon for a free Tazo tea latte that came [...]
… felt like you’d be full for at least 48 hours? Thanks to Taqueria Ramiro & Sons in Alameda, CA, that is exactly what my stomach is saying. If it wasn’t dark already and raining, I’d jog for a good five miles right now. Okay, walk. Like I said, I’m full.
Friends invited a few of us over for a tasty dinner of meat, potatoes, and chocolate truffles last night. After that, we then played an awesome game from the PS3 network called The Last Guy where one has to rescue people (while wearing a cape!) from an assortment of zombie creatures. The simplest ideas are [...]
We found a place to eat tonight thanks to my friend’s iPhone. It pointed us to Sargam Indian Cuisine in Walnut Creek, CA. I’m not going to write a review here, but I just noticed a few things about our experience there. One: There were two couples at a table. One woman got up in [...]
So I woke up before 7am today, took a shower, and then had breakfast. That’s a good start considering the sun wasn’t even up yet and it felt like today was the day that I was going to get a lot done. Then I had Frosted Mini-Wheats which was okay, a little sugary, but okay. [...]
