Pinzimini

We’ve been trying to explore our hometown a little every weekend. Food-wise mainly. Just about every weekend, is a new find and I’m actually getting more and more impressed with the food around here. This surprising find is located in …

Allergies Gone Wild!

Leaf — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 19:07:27 +0000

I just got back from an allergist specialist who tested me for a list of common allergens. Amongst other things I’m allergic to: mites, peas, rice!!, and trees of every kind. No wonder I’ve been having sneezing fits every morning …

Groundhog

Leaf — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 23:29:35 +0000

What do groundhogs know? It feels like spring is right here. I mean, who needs Hawaii? With midday temperatures hitting the 60s, I’ve been able to take walks outside during lunch in a t-shirt and lap up the sun. I’m …

Nando’s Peri Peri

Leaf — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 00:36:25 +0000

Good, but eh. I mean, it’s grilled chicken. Consistent, recognizable, done well. If it were down the street from me, maybe, but it’s certainly not worth going out of our way for it like we did last night. We got …

The paradox of choice and why I was banging my head against the wall trying to get dressed this morning

Leaf — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 23:08:10 +0000

I came across this not-too-surprising article on CNN about how choice can paralyze people from making a decision. Specifically, they were describing the drawbacks to online dating where people often can’t commit to a choice of partner because there are …

E.L.F. Eyeshadows

Leaf — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 01:55:33 +0000

It’s been two weeks since I got my E.L.F. eye shadow and I’ve tried it enough times to share a bit about what’s good and bad about it. I got the 32-color palette for a peasely $5. I’m comparing it …

Thai X-ing

Leaf — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 03:01:43 +0000

Two words: Yum and Yum. This place is what we’d imagine food in Thailand would taste like. This little gem of a restaurant is barely noticeable on the street. We got out of the taxi and wandered back and forth …

Blue

Leaf — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 21:28:20 +0000

I have a bad case of the winter blues! I think fall and even up to Winter solstice I’m just working my way down to the blues. Mostly I can deal with it by self-medicating with lots of cheesy poofs, …

Saigon Cafe

Leaf — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 13:28:24 +0000

Eh. It was okay but overall, not someplace we’ll probably be going back to anytime soon. I read about this place and how they were known for making an authentic bun bo hue (this thick rice noodle beef soup). SO …

Mad Men

Leaf — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 04:21:15 +0000

Augh! Can’t pull my eyeballs away from the TV. I am badly hooked on Mad Men. The understated way the story seems to play out, the over-the-top Jerry Springer-esque scandals, it’s so addictive. And now I know why leopard print …
