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....

I have been going to Old Town for years but only recently discovered it as the perfect breakfast destination. Not only is the food great but the park is so uncrowded and easy to navigate. Parking is free and plentiful and there are no lines at any of the restaurants. Breakfast starts at 8 AM at our favorite restaurant the Old Town Mexican Cafe....

My husband and I just attended the Sixth Annual San Diego Writers Festival. It was an amazing event with panel discussions for everyone. Call it a combination of spring fever and frustration over recent national politics. I was feeling out of sorts until attending this recent writers festival. I loved every panel that my husband and I attended. Reading a great book takes me to another destination, time period and so on....

Last night we attended the first evening of Fullerton College’s annual two-day French Film Festival. We tried it on a whim and wow! We had a fantastic experience. The students and faculty put together an impressive event. Prior to the screening of the 2022 movie The Innocent, the festival offered a great taste of French culture with: freshly made Nutella crepes, French doughnuts and other yummy tidbits....

A few years ago, my husband and I, along with a few other family members, were invited to a Thanksgiving dinner hosted by a French family temporarily living in the United States. It was probably one of the best holiday meals I've enjoyed - even the roasted turkey was fantastic (coated in a mixture of beer and Dijon mustard)! The hosts invited another French couple who were professional cheesemakers....
