San Diego’s Adams Ave Street Fair
September 29, 2013
People watching is my favorite thing to do at street fairs where there are all kinds! This year, while people watching and beer tasting at the Adams Avenue Street Fair, I was in search of colorful things at the vendor booths.

San Diego Reader Feast
September 7, 2013
Imagine a venue at the end of a pier, with a panoramic view of the ocean, AND unlimited tastes of craft beer, wine, gourmet foods, and delectable desserts. A perfect night right? I had all that last night at the San Diego Reader Feast. We took the coaster train in from north county, which was […]

August 14, 2013

Tony’s Darts Away – Burbank CA
August 4, 2013
Tony’s Darts Away isn’t your typical bar. Sure they have a huge selection of craft brews and soccer, baseball, or football on the TVs throughout the room, but the bar food is a vegan’s dream. There is more on the menu for vegans than non vegans. In fact the menu, after two full pages of […]

Bite San Diego – gourmet walking food tours
July 29, 2013
Fun way to explore an area either close to home or for visitors. This three hour walking tour priced at $45 each took us to 6 different delightful restaurants and sweet shops. Not too much walking in between each stop, probably a mile or two total walking. My tour had 12 people, most with LivingSocial […]
Fort Collins, CO – It’s all country & beer

A year ago, when my son Jordan said he was going to move to Fort Collins, CO to go to college, I was sad he was moving so far away. A two-hour plane ride from San Diego and then one hour drive north of Denver, Fort Collins is home to one of my favorite breweries […]
