My Maternal grandparents were visiting for 6 weeks – which explained by there was a silence in my posting schedule.

This past week, through the ever useful; albeit not so efficient family phone tree, I was informed by mom, who was informed by my cousin, who got the message from my uncle that the owners of Okayama had sold their restaurant to new ownership. *GASP* […]

I’ve been itching to check out Clover Bakery since I saw it on the “Hot on Yelp” list a year ago. Unfortunately it’s not in my normal range of stomping grounds. The first time I had it was when I was driving from Cupertino to my parents’ house in Cupertino last month and I took […]

I’m a happy gal when Sam takes me out to dinner, for many reasons actually… I definitely fall into the category of “I live to eat” instead of “eating to live” and my days revolve around what my next meal is. Furthermore, it’s nice to not have to cook on the weekdays after putting a […]
