A whole week just flew by! The good news is that I did stick to the meal plan. I went by the book for breakfast & lunch. I didn’t feel hungry like I thought I would. In fact, I had more energy than when I usually have a bowl of cereal and a sandwich. I however didn’t follow the diet

It had been a long time since I had Hawaiian food, authentic or otherwise. I decided to give The Loft in Torrance a try. The building is a dreary grey. Definitely not what I think of when it comes to Hawaii. Whatever their reason for painting the building like this, I just hoped that the dreary feel ended on the

I said to the man do you speak my language/he just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich… No trip to Oz would be complete without writing about their ever popular vegemite. The first time I heard that word was ages ago, with my hair still in pigtails & most likely drawing in a coloring book as Men At Work’s

I’m not hitting the malls for the latest sales today. I didn’t go snowboarding in Mammoth over the weekend. Instead, today I begin a 30 day meal plan. I admit right now, I gained a lot of weight during my trip to Australia. I was on vacation. I wasn’t counting calories, I was enjoying myself & yes going up for

It was yes, another restaurant I’d walk by many a time during my 4 years of living in Hermosa. I’d call it the alligator restaurant due to the neon reptile sitting atop a clock outside the storefront, wagging its tail. It was only recently I decided to stop by for lunch. It was purely accidental to be totally honest. I

Australian food doesn’t skimp on flavor. Every morsel is delish. However, the one thing I would complain about would be the Goods & Service tax. 10% tax is put onto your final bill in Australia. Take that & the fact that our dollar is weak over there & you have yourself a pricey meal. Thankfully, most of our trip was

My husband was the first one to discover Rice Things when he moved to Hermosa 6 years ago. Being the one that was hesitant to try new things, I was happy to hear that he found a Japanese restaurant he was ok with. Chefs don’t prepare your meal before your eyes, there’s no sushi bar, so don’t come in with

I’ll admit it right now, I’m sadly, no longer a spring chicken. My nights now end at 11, not start, like they used to way back when. So what do I do on a Friday night now that my clubbing days are long gone? Why, I go to a coffee house & read of course! Neighborhood Grinds is located on

The cool thing about going to a foreign country is seeing what they have to offer. Another thing of course is how they take a different spin on standard favorites. Sydney has a wide selection of Asian & European cuisine. We wanted to see how these meals compare to how we do it back home. Enter Caminetto, an Italian restaurant

I’ll admit it. As much as I spend time in El Segundo, I rarely stop by The Edge at El Segundo Plaza. I really need to do this more often. With that being said, the last restaurant I reviewed there was La Sirena over a year ago. It was clearly time to try something new. A few weeks after I
