Returning food to the sacred
So I’m in a Starbucks with Jon, which is right up the street from the Millenium Restaurant, where the first event of the Foodbuzz Bloggers Festival will be in a couple of hours. This will be an unofficial dinner of sorts for those of us that have gotten into town early. The actual festival begins […]
We leave tomorrow! Fa la la la laaaaaaa! I can’t wait to meet all the great food bloggers involved as well as the chance to have amazing amounts of food. Oh there will be classes of course, but I wonder if I’ll be conscious for them after all wine and food tastings? Hmmm… you’ll have […]
Forgive the horrible picture, but this is the only one I have of that day. From left to right we’ve got Susan Teton, yours truly, Dania Katz of Edible Hawaiian Islands Magazine, and Sanam. I tell you, these three women are food revolutionaries in their own rights, and it has been a pleasure getting to […]
So even when I was a meat eater, I never really liked fish. I loved shrimp, lobster and scallops, but never fish. When I stopped eating meat altogether in 2000 it wasn’t an issue at all to not eat seafood, as I rarely had it anyway. Last year, this changed. Deep in the throws of […]

Last night was the last of the Brown family gatherings. One by one, each family member has flown home after two weeks of festivities celebrating Jon’s mother, Linda’s graduation. Its just 5 of us now and for one last hurrah we went to Cane & Taro. I must say there had been a lot of […]
So I’ve really wanted to jump in and do restaurant reviews here. I’ve been hesitant for two reasons. 1) The only place I typically go to is Cafe Aroma in Idyllwild, and you all KNOW how I feel about that place! and 2) I have mixed feelings about giving bad reviews. The truth is also […]
Its been a few days since I’ve been here. We have had a busy couple of weeks and I’m so behind on all the gorgeousness I want to share with you! But lets start with this: Last weekend, Jon and I left our little mountain town and made the two hour drive into Orange County […]
You’d think we live there no? We don’t, but we do… sort of. In any case, despite the fact that Jon and I were at Cafe Aroma last night to savor an Abalone dish that Sam the chef had made, we found ourselves there again this afternoon to meet with our friend Rachael so Jon […]
