Let’s get to it! A rundown of another stint in New York City. We took an early morning flight and arrived in NYC, just in time for dinner. We headed to one of our favorite spots in the Lower East Side, Kisa. A casual restaurant inspired by taxi driver stops in Korea, called Sik Dangs, …
Whoa, Nellie, it has been a crazy 12 weeks. I knew with a second Trump term, the guardrails that were in place during his first term would be gone, but did I think we would get to Def Con 5 so quickly? Nope. TFG has brought out the absolute worst in folks. I underestimated how …
When I am shopping at the grocery store, I usually throw a bag of croutons into my cart. Even though they kinda taste like salted cardboard, sheer laziness and convenience prevail. Tired of bagged croutons, I finally decided to make my own croutons, how hard could it be? Isn’t it like glorified toast in bite-sized …
Cookies made with cereal have popped up on my feed lately and the one that caught my attention was Buttermilk by Sam’s Lucky Charms Cookies. For lack of a better word, these cookies are Happy!

I watch The Holiday, in place of Santa Clause (the kids are all grown up now), and patiently …
I know you all know I am a city girl at heart. Give me skyscrapers, bridges, cars, museums, and bright lights any day. Not that I don’t appreciate mountains, forests, and nature, but I prefer the urban jungle. Whenever we get the chance, we head into The City for the day, Chinatown, the Ferry Building, …
The weather has taken a definite turn so I am pivoting from stress cooking to cookie baking. It’s windy, cold, and wet, it’s time to crank up the oven and test a few cookie recipes. Which new cookie will reign supreme and star in this year’s holiday cookie box? I usually don’t start this early, …
I don’t hide my political views very well…and I don’t try to. You googled a recipe and my blog popped up (probably Mochi Muffins, lol) and here you are. My blog is mostly about food, a little about travel, and the occasional musing on sports, my family, and politics. Try Not to Skip to the …
