An invite appeared in my mailbox last week inviting us to attend a Neighborhood Potluck Dinner. Amazingly enough, the date and time worked for us, and we were able to spend an enjoyable hour or two getting to know other residents of the DelSo. Who, by the way, now know they live in the DelSo … Continue reading I Pandered to the Vegetarians and Other Confessions and Observations from a Neighborhood Potluck

Neil Young ~ Palace Theater 5/18/10
You know I worship Neil Young and I'm all about hanging out with my friends, having some food and drink (delicious pregaming @dp's!), and then going to a show, which made Tuesday night an almost perfect night. Oh, what the heck - it was perfect, once security ejected the moron, perhaps suffering from drunken Tourette's, … Continue reading Neil Young ~ Palace Theater 5/18/10
Sam’s Italian-American
For the past few weeks, I've been driving by an intriguing sign offering a chicken parmesan meal, with salad and pasta, for two for $22 at Sam's Italian American restaurant.

Porto Rico Importing Company
So, where do you get your caffeine fix? Do you brew at home? Perhaps even grind your beans each morning? And, where are you getting your beans? For more than 15 years we've been getting our beans, Bleeker Street fresh, from Porto Rico Importing Co.I originally stumbled (probably literally) upon this place when I lived … Continue reading Porto Rico Importing Company
Breakfast Burrito!
There is something about a breakfast burrito that I adore. And I'm not talking about some crappy fast food excuse of a burrito - I'm talking about a luscious blend of velvety scrambled eggs, some avocado, a smear of vegetarian refried beans and a healthy dollop of salsa all wrapped up in a flour tortilla. … Continue reading Breakfast Burrito!
