Now that I’m back in L’town (my affectionate name for the town I grew up in), it’s wedding task-a-mania up in hurrr. You’d think I’d be sleeping in (given my job-less state), but you’d be wrong. My sinuses have been crazy pissed at me with all the location changes (NYC, LA, Mexico, Newport Beach, San Clemente, and now the Bay Area). As a result I’ve been waking up with the sun thanks to an intense throbbing pressure in my head. Lovely. I’ve been buddy-buddy with Sudafed as of late. Anyways, since I’m not quite back… Read more >

Let me back up to the rest of the day’s menu… Appetizers Veggies, pita wedges, pita chips, and many flavors of hummus. Lunch spread Catering… Read more >

I’m glad you guys are enjoying my tips for navigating the veg friendly parts of Cabo San Lucas… For our last night in Cabo we went to Hacienda El Coyote for dinner. The interior was on the eclectic side, but this was still probably one of the more “fancy” restaurants we went to. In addition to the restaurant area, they had a Tequila Lounge, and a few different outside seating areas. Navigating the wine list was the first priority after being seated. Check. Second order of business, the menu. Kyle started with a tomato salad… Read more >

1. Cabo Coffee Co. This was some damn fine coffee! The Cabo Coffee Company has two locations in Cabo, and if I had even an inch of extra space in my suitcase, I’d find a way to smuggle a few pounds home with me. Looks like those souvenir shot glasses are gonna get the boot. 😉 Paired with some lactose free milk (leche deslactosada)… Nothing like some fresh local java to put some pep in your step (not that anyone needs to be productive while in Mexico…). Runner up coffee selection goes to Blason Premium… Read more >

After saying goodbye to this: And saying hello to this: I LOVE YOU CALIFORNIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Talk about feeling like I returned home. Everything feels right in the world now. Seriously. There is no other way to describe it. I just feel like – at long last – I’m back to the city where I am meant to be. Kyle and I have been running all around So Cal, seeing friends, organizing our lives, buying a car, frequenting the WF hot bar, frequenting Starbucks, and y’know, just vegging out. Oh, did I mention the WF hot bar?… Read more >
