It was my niece Nanna’s birthday so the family decided to spend the afternoon at Seal Beach. Despite living less than half an hour from the ocean and actually seeing it quite often, I rarely spend time on the sand. I think I can count the number of times on one hand. Okay, it’s more…

By now, if you live anywhere in the Greater Los Angeles area, you’ve heard of the Korean taco truck phenomenon that is Koji. Food trucks, or roach coaches as some prefer, aren’t new, but the last few years have seen the spawn of a new crop of gourmet food trucks. No longer are food trucks…

I’ve been a business owner since last year. Conventional wisdom dictates that a business should have a web site and web sites, generally, have an “about” section. I’ve been struggling since the day I registered my domain name to write an “About Me” page. I don’t know what to write. Do I write in the…

Labor Day. No work. No school. I’m still not sure why they call it Labor Day rather than Non-Labor Day. At least part of my day was spent laboring. I had a list of errands to run and The Verg agreed to do it with me. He was either really bored or a really good…

I had no idea where to eat. John suggested Super Mex. I had it once before and thought the food was decent. I did find it novel that the chips they served for their chips and salsa were just whole corn tortillas that were fried rather than cut into chip sized pieces.  Does this look…

I scored me some crack this morning. I have no idea exactly what’s in it, but I’m pretty sure there’s some milk chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, sweetened condensed milk, some sort of cookie or cracker base, and enough calories to sustain an adult human for an entire day in one bite. Anyhow,…

Randy and I went to Seafood City, a local asian market, on the hunt for mangos. $50 worth of frozen durian, pot stickers, shrimp crackers, and sausages later we finally found our mangos and decided to leave before we did more damage.  On the way out, I ran into this guy. One day, I’ll learn…

My insurance agent (great guy) asked me to meet him at Denny’s this morning. There were some papers I needed to sign. I didn’t plan on eating breakfast there, but I’m never one to pass up on eating a little something. I decided to order the Santa Fe Skillet. Oh boy, was it good! I’m…

I went out to dinner tonight with Vergil. Apparently I take more pictures of the food I eat than the people I’m with. I’ve really got to break that habit. Well, as long as I took them, I might as well share them. Here is mine and Vergil’s dinner.

We didn’t intend to have an all out 4th of July BBQ, but it happened anyway. Randy and I just wanted to make a couple of skewers for dinner. I wanted, well, anything covered in bacon and grilled: Bacon wrapped shrimp, bacon wrapped tomato, bacon wrapped onions, bacon wrapped asparagus, you get the idea. Randy’s…
