Del.icio.us for Queenkv Digg by QueenkvLAS VEGAS, NV – I’m waking up on my last day in Sin City. The Terrace Pointe Cafe at the Wynn has free wi-fi. We’re driving back to Nor Cal in a couple of hours.
At work, my co-workers complained about the civilians who chatted up their holiday plans: grilling, traveling and other ideas on how [...]
Viva my weekend.
I’m taking it easy for these last days of being 29-years-old.

Last month, we ended up in Lodi after the Stockton Asparagus Festival. An air-conditioned wine tasting at the Lodi Visitor’s Center helped revive us. The festival was fun but we were wiped out from walking through 100-degree weather and [...]

I finally tried the food at the FS Oriental Store on Nut Tree Rd. I ordered the two combo special with Chicken Adobo and Dinuguan. It wasn’t bad for a hearty lunch. But I like my Dinuguan with a spicy kick. This serving (on the left) was a little bland. So was [...]
I don’t think I can survive without rice. I can eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.
Rice goes with anything and I’m always learning new ways to enjoy this personal food staple. My cousin and hubby gave us “Seductions of Rice” for Christmas. It’s a big cookbook with beautiful pictures on how rice [...]
I try to find new recipes to try out on my weekends. I’m thrilled with the huge kitchen space in our Vacaville home. There’s plenty of room to spread out my herbs, veggies, meat and cutting areas. Sometimes I have my PowerBook open to a tasty online recipe. When I’m prepping meals, sometimes I stare [...]
I’ve been thinking about Balut. I think it’s time I try this Filipino delicacy. Hell, Mark already sampled it.

I wonder if this is a good price for the half-hatched duck eggs. We found this vendor at the Fremont Farmers Market last September. Sadly, I had to catch a plane to Kansas that [...]
Mark sent this video to me on the construction of the US embassy in Baghdad. An employee for First Kuwaiti had to escort Filipino workers on their flight to Baghdad. Their tickets and passports said bound for Dubai. All hell broke loose when they discovered their plane was heading to Iraq instead.
Serious f-ed up stuff. [...]
I found this quiz from Cup of Joe.
He is also a Smart American.
You Are a Smart American
You know a lot about US history, and you’re opinions are probably well informed.
Congratulations on bucking stereotypes. Now go show some foreigners how smart Americans can be.
Are You a Dumb American?
This morning, I read the May issue of Vogue [...]
By Tuesday, it felt like a long week.
Floods, tornado, displaced residents and more add up to a crazy news week in Topeka. One the phone with some network folks in Chicago, they told me: “All the news in your region. You’re hogging it all.” I told her I wouldn’t mind spreading the love.
Really.
Last night, Mark [...]
I was a little late for mass this morning because my baby needed some cuddling. Daisy’s a needy puppy sometimes. But I’m made it in time for the second reading and the Gospel. This morning, Father’s Tom’s talked about being a Good Shepherd. Then he gave a shout out to male students from Hayden High [...]
