This past weekend our foodie friend Danny, came up to visit. Danny visiting means that Sam and I budget out calories carefully the week prior to his arrival so that we can partake in the gluttony of great food.

For a long time now, I’ve been obsessed with German pretzels. I used to buy them at the Farmer’s Market in La Jolla, order them at the German restaurant in Point Loma, think about them… and think about eating them. I already require lifelong membership with Carboholics Anonymous and German Style Pretzels aren’t helping my […]

So while prerusing food blogs, I kept coming across people blogging about doing the Daring Kitchen challenges. I finally mustered up my courage in April to join. Ironically I signed up hours before the Daring Chef deadline. After I got my confirmation email, I logged onto the forums to find out what the May challenge […]
