When I was a child I looked forward to the drive south to Chula Vista. My brother worked at Hom’s Teapot Inn. A few times he took me to visit and the owner would have his chef make something delicious for me. I miss Wendel Hom and his Teapot Inn.

We stopped in Carpinteria on our way to Aptos, CA. Carpinteria is a very quiet beach town in May. Located south of Santa Barbara beach crowds should be filling this place up when summer starts. Maggie found Oaxaca Fresh next door to the ice cream shop I was looking for. Place looked like a nice […]

Letty’s Casita – El Centro
Letty’s looks like the houses I use to live near when I was a kid. Nice roomy inside with a big yard in the front. Much more spacious than the tiny apartments we lived in. I like the scents inside. I try a carne asada taco first. Corn tortilla is freshly made in the […]
