I like seeing how things are made and how they work. When I was a kid I liked watching construction projects and taking stuff apart. Back in the old days most things were held together by screws so the world was mine after I found where our screwdrivers were kept. The key was remembering how […]

Elite Event: Seasons 52
I could not resist that tantalizing scent in the air. It was a primal scent of fire and lamb. I followed the scent to it’s source. Kona crusted racks of lamb. I sampled a lamb chop. There was a crust of seasoning on the lamb licked by fire. I asked for mine plain so […]
The South Park Abbey
I was greeted by a strange sight on my Taco Tuesday visit. In addition to the $2 taco signs there were also order at the bar signs at most of the tables.

One of my favorite times of year is when summer starts and the Del Mar fair opens. So much delicious food waiting for […]

The Balboa Bar & Grill
It’s dark inside. Reminds me of the old bars I peeked into when I was a kid. They were forbidden and smelled of booze. This place smells of burgers. Wish I knew how to make burgers that smelled this good.
