Archive What a beautiful warm weekend in the Bay Area. It was also a weekend of celebrations as one of my closest friends got married and my best friend celebrated a birthday. With temperatures in the 80’s, it was nice to go to the City and cool off a bit to the mid-70’s. My evening ended...
I got back from my trip to Vancouver and Seattle last week. My last visit to Vancouver was in 2005 for my cousin’s wedding, way before food blogging. Vancouver is well known for their fresh seafood. Back in 2005, my cousin took me to a place for fish and chips. As I was researching places...
