It was Christmas Day and we were in Las Vegas celebrating the holidays with my husband’s family. South Korean’s hip hop artist Rain was also in Las Vegas and was scheduled to perform a 2-day show at Ceasar’s Palace with the final performance scheduled for Christmas Day.

THE GLENDON BAR & KITCHEN – Westwood/Los Angeles, CA
Friday couldn’t come soon enough for me. It was a pretty busy week for me and by the end of the day on Friday, I was beat. I wanted to relax and unwind, preferably with an alcoholic beverage in my hand and just let the events of the week slowly melt away into oblivion. I … Continue reading »
BLANCA – Solana Beach, CA
Last weekend, I enjoyed THE BEST EVER popcorn from Blanca Restaurant (Solana Beach)–their “Popcorn, Parmesan & Truffle Salt” on their appetizer menu. Solana Beach is a sleepy little charming beach town just north of Del Mar. I was enjoying a light breakfast that Saturday morning–green apples slices, hot green tea and two slices of turkey … Continue reading »
YOGURTLAND – Sherman Oaks, CA
After having the most unpleasant experience with my lunch yesterday at a chain restaurant that for now will remain nameless, I needed something to re-cleanse my palate–STAT!

I want something fresh, healthy and reasonable in price, but … Continue reading »
TOPZ – Woodland Hills, CA
A healthy hamburger sounds like an oxy moron doesn’t it? But on one particular lunch outing, we wanted just that–something comforting but downright good and you can’t get any better than a hamburger AND we wanted to be healthy about it. My co-worker suggested Topz, about a 5 minute drive from the office. … Continue reading »
ANARBAGH – Woodland Hills, CA
ANARBAGH dubs itself as the “Ultimate Indian Restaurant” in the West Valley. My co-workers Sharon and Cristina and I decided to be adventurous and try something different for lunch other than our usual McDonalds when we want something quick or the always reliable Corner Bakery. Sharon actually found this place online and we were all … Continue reading »
