[Bookmark This] Chapter One: the modern local
When you live in a pretty bland area of Orange County where everyone’s lawn is nice and artificially green and every house looks the same but is a different color (the neighborhood in “Edward Scissorhands” comes to mind), the food choices are much the same: chain after chain after chain. Here, the Carl’s Jr seems […]
[Innside Dining] There’s Snow Place Like It
After spending the day walking around lush gardens of The Huntington Library (and nearly wanting to gouge out my eyeballs to stop the itching), my boyfriend and I worked up quite an appetite. We weren’t too familiar with the area we were in, so we decided to stop by somewhere on the way back home. On our […]

[Big Tintin’] Staying Cool All-Year Long
A couple of years ago, I purchased my first car on my own. It was the most expensive purchase I had ever made, so I wanted only the best for her. Since I live in SoCal, the sun’s always out. So getting my new baby tinted was the first thing on my mind. I wanted […]
[Delicious Desserts] Bundt There’s More!
When birthdays come around at the office, I tend to look for something other than the ordinary store-bought (and usually yucky) cake. I went to some of the fancier cakeries, and once I heard the price, I swear my credit cards jumped out of my wallet and ran away from me. So, I went to […]
[Donut Touch] Let’s Go Krazy
After going into Krazy Eddie’s Donuts, this might as well be written on my tombstone: I’VE DIED AND GONE TO HEAVEN! One day I was looking for donuts on Yelp (when I used that crappy service) and I noticed the great reviews this place was getting. I pass by it quite often on my way to work, […]
[Yum Yum] Go Ahead, Marmalade My Day
[EDIT] Marmalade Cafe has left The District in Tustin. It’s gone the way of so many other stores and restaurants there. ***** We started our day at the Marmalade Cafe in Tustin, CA (in The District, across from where the Borders used to be). It had a “Coccoonish” feel, but sitting among the blue-haired folks didn’t bother […]
[Raising the Bar] The Draft
I attended an event on Tuesday at The Draft Bar and Grill in Studio City, CA. I’ve only been to a couple of bars in my life, but this one definitely made an impression. First, the service was great. I don’t know, sometimes I just expect bad service because after downing a few, you’d think they wouldn’t […]
