A trip to San Francisco is always fun: Walking along the streets, hopping on buses, going down to the Bay and… …yes, having sushi at my favorite restaurant in SF – Isobune in Japantown. Not only is the food delightful, eating at Isobune is just fun! Sitting around the moat, watching the boats with their [...]
How about eating less junk and sugar and saving the $12,000 – $25,000 for the procedure for something rather more fun than an operation? But then again, maybe this common-sense attitude re. food and weight-gain is just a bit less fashionable than the “quick fix” advertised on bill boards.
A short while after having seen the Atwater Village Bakery sign go up, we checked the store out. Bread in a variety hardly seen in shops was on offer, plus delicious looking cakes and a wide variety of food to be consumed on the premises. So we became regulars, getting our bread from there on [...]

Last week we had to go down to Santa Monica to the Broad Theater. With triple digit temperatures outside we did not look forward to the ride, but decided to go anyway and early to have some dinner before the event. We parked the car at the theater and wandered off in search for food [...]
That was fun. But maybe I’ll hang on to the food processor for a little while longer.
