We drove up to Castello di Amarosa to check out the winery after our lunch at Mustards Grill. I’m making a mental note that for all future Napa trips I’m going to try to avoid driving through St. Helena since the traffic on weekends is horrendous. We caravan-ed up to Castello, found parking and made […]

This past weekend our foodie friend Danny, came up to visit. Danny visiting means that Sam and I budget out calories carefully the week prior to his arrival so that we can partake in the gluttony of great food. Last year we gorged ourselves in San Francisco for the entire day, and followed it up […]

Last month to celebrate the official launch of Terminal 2 in SFO, Virgin Galactic’s spaceship flew in along with Sir Richard for the festivities. Needless to say, our office was excited and I brought in my dSLR to snap some good shots. Sam and I finally got the chance to fly out of the new […]

One of my friends coordinated a lovely Napa trip at the beginning of the year. It was nice seeing friends fly in from LA since I haven’t seen them in quite a long time. We started out at Peju and then worked our way through to Trefethen, Domaine Carneros, and then had a lovely dinner […]

After our dinner @ Maneki’s, we drove around Seattle to sightsee at night. Which resulted in me driving across the Roosevelt Bridge no less than 3 times, slapping each other with our newly invented game of Starbucks-Slap, and checking out ANOTHER grocery store called QFC. Prior to hitting the sack, we headed back up towards […]

I probably had one of the most miserable flights I’ve ever taken. And if anyone knew me back in high school, the flight I had to take with my family to Orlando on our way to DisneyWorld used to be the worst. That one had a screaming baby on it with an indifferent set of […]

Work has been stressful lately… same with our Taiwan trip. I’ve been so exhausted that my dSLR is still sitting in my camera bag. I haven’t touched it since we were in Taiwan, which basically means that I haven’t uploaded/looked at pictures. My blogging is at a minimum and my mind constantly feels exhausted from […]

We just finished up our 10 day trip through Taiwan… Pictures need to be sorted and I need to recover from jetlag. Traveling is exhausting; thankfully I was fairly good and unpacked and cleaned up as soon as we got home so I don’t have my luggage to deal with. Unfortunately I’m only halfway through […]

We had a lovely summery spell last weekend and Sam had a bad case of cabin fever so we drove up to Hog Island Oyster Farm on Saturday. Maybe he was treating me to a nice day trip since I’ve been cooking all these dinners lately. 😉 We drove through SF and had the windows […]

Chicago’s known for their deep dish pizza/steakhouses (and hot dogs). NY’s famous for bagels/thin crust pizza. Nothing screams SF louder than Sourdough. Seattle’s known for being the birthplace of coffee. The little push pin on my traveling map now targets Vancouver. And I associate it for birthing this whole new food revolution starting with… *drumroll […]
