(not) Sunset’s fruit and nut bars

My parents went to the Cal vs. Kansas basketball game the other night, so I was home alone with my sis and Kyle.  Bored, but too tired to do anything that involved changing out of PJs, I randomly decided to bake.  My mom always has tons of magazines on hand, including my faves, Bon Appetite and Sunset. I raided the cabinets and pantry… Not too shabby.   My parents didn’t have medjool dates…or dried apples…and not very much honey…soooo, yeah, I made quite a few changes to the recipe I was using.  Given that the ingredients… Read more >

Merry Millennium

Happy holidays everyone! It’s Christmas up in here 🙂 I’m working on the 25th, so Santa was nice and obliging and came early this year (this post is from the 21st). To celebrate as a family, we all went to dinner in the city. In spite of the gross weather, we headed into San Francisco early to browse the Ferry Building, check out the tree (in Union Square) and grab some drinks at the famous Harry Denton’s Starlight Room.  Views of the Ferry Building… Making our way to Union Square… SF love   After soaking… Read more >

The Longest Commute

On Sunday I worked from 7 am to 7:30 pm and then headed home… I arrived at 1:30 am. Confused? I’m home with the fam! As I mentioned in my last post, Kyle dropped me off at work so that he would have the car all day, and then be able to pick me up after work so we could leave straight away.  And by straight away, I mean, after stopping at Whole Foods for dinner. 😉 We made it home safe and sound – no thanks to the stormy California weather…slept in ‘til 10….

The (new) Veggie Grill

On Saturday night I was invited to a pre-opening meal at a new restaurant… [these are the perks of food blogging that Kyle really enjoys] You may have heard of The Veggie Grill before, since they have a few other locations in the Southern California area.  This new site is mere blocks from our apartment, so we were both excited to try it out (for free no less!).  Several staff members welcomed us upon arrival and then explained the menu, highlighting the favorites while encouraging us to browse it for ourselves.  We both ended up… Read more >

Govinda’s

I’d been looking forward to Saturday’s date with Lynn since we first lined our lunch up last month.  Unfortunately, I didn’t get to bed on Friday night until almost 4 am.  Oops! Clearly I woke up regretting that scheduling decision. As much as I have matured in the party planning realm, one key thing I forgot about raging into the wee hours is how much of a worthless sloth I tend to be the next day.  Hangover aside, I’m a trooper (and I like food blogger meet ups).  So come noon, I found myself on… Read more >
