Food. Family. Fun.
We worked hard to avoid one. My contention? A one-year-old doesn’t know it’s her birthday. She doesn’t know what birthdays are. So the party isn’t really for her. That’s why we went with a party we wanted–cookout and cake, served… Read moreBirthday Extravaganzas
Seriously! But since tomorrow is also Baguette’s birthday party (my baby–and at her age that’s not a euphemism–turned one on Wednesday), we will be preparing for family and friends, not going out to breakfast. Which just means I’ll have to… Read moreTomorrow is Eggs Benedict Day

There’s cult dining everywhere. What’s cult dining? PoorTaste has a definition (see paragraphs two and three), as well as a list of the top 100 cult restaurants in the U.S. Los Angeles has 14 of them, which is a pretty… Read moreCult Dining
