What is Baco?

January 25, 2012 blog meet-up

Language is a such a wonderful, ever-evolving thing. If I were a bit smarter and academic, I would have loved to study linguistics in college. It’s fascinating to see how language reflects the culture and events of a time, place and people. It’s always shifting and advancing to both more complex and simpler structures, with [...]

A Mexican Gingerbread House Discovery

January 9, 2012 eating out

It’s a good thing it doesn’t snow here in Los Angeles. First of all, people in L.A. tend to freak out if the temperature dips below 60 degrees.

November 7, 2010 dinner event

You know those bloggers you’ve been stalking for months, maybe years? Those bloggers to whom you tweet the most random information like “I just saw a squirrel on crack.” Some of them, you know so well through constant gchats and e-mails that you immediately talk about the latest thing you discussed, like, several hours ago.

How an Avocado-Hater Infiltrated the Avocado-Lovers Society

April 25, 2010 blog meet-up

I have a confession. I infiltrated the Avocado-Lovers meeting yesterday afternoon. Yes, me. I, an Avocado-Hater, took advantage of the kindness of the California Avocado Commission to score a free meal, and to meet a Top Chef Master and her partner. I don’t know the twisted logic behind this, since the free meal would be [...]
