Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
Because laying on the beach wasn’t relaxing enough, we spent our last afternoon in Rhode Island just driving around looking at typical New England streets. We had zero plans and just went wherever the sights seemed worthy. For me, worthiness is often related to food, so I wanted to make sure we tried some authentic…

I get to cross a state off my list now that I have spent a weekend in Rhode Island. Rhode Island never happened to come up in conversation while I was growing up so I pretty much forgot it was a state. I remember someone joined my high school senior year from Rhode Island and…

Major plane probs caused me to arrive in New Orleans for Greg and Susan’s wedding 12 hours late, which meant that once I actually made it there last Friday morning, I was go go go. I’ll be recapping the ridiculously awesome wedding weekend day by day, starting here with day numero uno: I arrived at…

I recently vacationed in San Diego and LA, and while there are many benefits to living in California (beach and sunshine at all times come to mind), one thing outshines the others: In-N-Out Burger. Below is my review/thoughts: Animal Style: sounds naughty and it certainly is. The sauce! Those onions! I actually just smacked my…
