Taffy's 5 Year Photo

Taffy turns 5 years old today. I can't believe she's that old already. Her diminuitive form makes her still look like a puppy. Toni and I love her so much. Happy birthday Taffy! :)
Why Does This Happen?
Friday, 15 May 2009 | Food, Travel
On a recent trip to Hoover Dam with the Los Angeles Flickr Group, I discovered this delicious Snapple Apple Plum White Tea. It had a yummy flavor and was so refreshing after exploring Hoover Dam on a warm Spring day.
The thing is, why do I find these really cool foods, or in this case, drink, during my travels, but then am not able to find it when I get back home? This happened to me before with Snapple Kiwi Tea in Hawaii. I guess it's just one of life's mysteries! Hehe
Flickr Las Vegas Trip
Wednesday, 15 Apr 2009 | Flickr, Friends, Travel
This Friday I'm going on my first out of state Flickr meet. A small group of photographer friends I know from Flickr will be going with me to Las Vegas for a weekend of shooting and fun.
The group organizer has a full itinerary for the weekend. During our stay, we will be taking photographs of Hoover Dam, the Boneyard, the Strip at night and Red Rock Canyon. I'm sure I'll get in some photos of my friends and the food we eat.
Disneyland with Judy and Sandra
Wednesday, 15 Apr 2009 | Disneyland, Friends
I'm going with my friend Judy and her daughter Sandra to Disneyland tomorrow! I'm really excited to show them a good time at my favorite place. Judy and her daughter share the same birthday, so they both get in free tomorrow. Yay!
I'll be sure to take them to City Hall to get their personalized birthday buttons so they can get special attention from everyone. It's been a while since I've been to Disneyland, so it will be fun to enjoy the time there with my friends. The weather is scheduled to be sunny and cool. It's gonna be great! :)
Cheeky's
Friday, 13 Mar 2009 | Food, Restaurants
I recently tried a restaurant in Palm Springs, California called Cheeky's. Cheeky's is open for breakfast and lunch. They have a menu which changes weekly with an array of freshly prepared breakfast and lunch items including the Grass-fed Burger and Pesto Fries on a Brioche Bun shown above. The burger was delicious!
Cheeky's has a way of spicing up ordinary food items like adding pesto to their fries or using jalapeno bacon for their BLT sandwich. They have innovative sandwiches with yams and persimmons as ingredients. Their salads are nicely presented. I'll have to take a photograph of one next time I go. They also serve buttermilk corn pancakes and wonderful looking eggs benedict.
Next time you're in Palm Springs, give Cheeky's a try. Just makes sure it's any day other than Tuesday, because that's the one day they're closed.
