Housing Overlooking the L.A. River Over the years, I have heard so much about Frogtown and the Los Angeles River. Recently, my husband and I opted to sign up for one of the Los Angeles Conservancy’s tours of the area - also known as the Elysian Valley. The tour of the area was done in partnership with Friends of the Los Angeles River....

Today, while checking out Frogtown in Los Angeles, we stopped for lunch at Salazar. What a gem this place is. Originally, this site was home to an automotive repair shop called Salazar. The restaurant opened in 2016. It’s an outdoor Mexican BBQ restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere . Even the salsa is made from scratch - starting with grilled tomatoes. The tacos were outstanding....

My husband and I are big history buffs as well as lovers of old films. We recently combined both of our passions and checked out the latest exhibit at the Hollywood Heritage Museum. The current exhibit is The Rise of Hollywood’s Leading Ladies. It features great costumes from many of the early female stars including May West, Lucille Ball, Betty Hutton, Dorothy Lamour and Claudette Colbert....

My mother and I have a running joke/argument regarding macaroni and cheese. She loves Kraft mac & cheese; she admits that her love for it goes back to her childhood. I should add that she was born in the 1930s. Kraft mac & cheese came out in 1937. At 19 cents a box, it was a great success. Between the depression and WW II food rationing, Americans were looking for cheap ways to feed their families....

I am fortunate enough to live within two hours of Borrego Springs. Usually, my husband and I visit during the wild flower season in early spring. This year, we opted to visit in late June. Given the heat factor, I was not sure of what to expect. Our visit was a pleasant surprise. This is a place where a large community of artists thrives and I can see why....

My husband and I recently met a friend at a local burger joint that is getting a lot of positive reviews. The place, Tanner’s Prime Burgers in Oceanside California, did not disappoint. All three of us agreed that the burgers and fries were phenomenal. The quality of beef, the ratio of fat to meat, the pickle, cheese and other components all worked so well together....

I finally figured out how to make the perfect savory-style baked Brie. Prior to assembling, be sure to leave a roll of refrigerated Pillsbury pie crust out for 30 minutes to warm up. I have tried cheaper versions and they are not as good. Slightly warming the pie dough will make it much easier to handle. Also, preheat the oven to 400....

I thought I was fairly knowledgeable regarding middle eastern food until a Jordanian coworker told me about his favorite Orange County restaurant. Al Tanour, located on Ball Road in Anaheim, serves the most delicious food. This place is almost two-hours away from us but it’s so worth the drive. My coworker did not exaggerate. The food was fabulous. My husband and I fell in love with the freshly made flat bread and the hummus....

Recently, my husband I tried the warm crab dip at The Prado restaurant in San Diego. Our waiter recommended it and he was spot on with his suggestion. The combination of flavors was fantastic. Unlike other similar dips which combine sour cream or cream cheese with mayonnaise, this dip has a base of mascarpone cheese. Based on the menu, I knew the key ingredients but had to guess a few items as well....

When most people think about Balboa Park, they usually think about the zoo and maybe the botanical garden. There is so much more to this park including an amazing history. Balboa Park was originally called City Park and consisted of approximately 1,400 acres of undeveloped land. The bulk of the facilities were built as a temporary venue for the Panama- Exposition of 1915....

While I have spent most of my life in Southern California, I was born in NYC and spent my twenties there. The cliches about deli food, pizza and Chinese food in Southern California are true - most of it is disappointing. Deli food, in particular, is a challenge. The ultimate test is a pastrami sandwich. New York is the birthplace of the American pastrami sandwich....

The Neon Museum in Las Vegas is one of those museums that appeals to everyone. For years, I have seen photos and heard great stories about it. Finally, my husband and I recently visited the place. The Neon Boneyard does not disappoint. The museum, founded in 1996, is located in the downtown area in the lobby of the former La Co**ha Motel lobby and a surrounding 2.27 acre space....
