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 [...]

We made a yummy dinner for Valentine’s Day. Mark cooked this yummy linguini with clams in a white wine sauce. I did salmon wrapped with Italian ham slices. It was fun to cook together. We ended dinner with a dance set to the music rolling for the end credits of Sixteen Candles.

Anthony Bourdain in Puerto Rico….looks like a beautiful place to visit…live…relax. I’m relaxing with my VCR’ed episode. I need to get a new deck ’cause this machine keeps eating tapes. It’s old and hungry. Just like me when I’m watching No Reservations - and Bourdain stops at restaurant and watches a cook chop up [...]

Most folks fuel up at the Vegas buffets….or sit around the tables and slot machines to get drink comps. I like making it through Vegas without pigging out at a buffet (which are getting more [...]

When we moved to Covina, Mark wondered what was in the hills - to the north. I told him I never been up there….only up to the San Bernadino Mountains…where I used to train.
Mark did some research and found a path up to the hills. We drove up the hills [...]

SAN DIMAS — OK - this is going back to a few weeks ago…I want to jot down some thoughts on the places we ate at…why not?

Went to the Uffzi and [...]
