Fresh & Easy English Muffins

Monday, 1 Mar 2010 | Food

Toni discovered these english muffins at Fresh & Easy recently. They are not your ordinary English muffins. They're extra thick and the flavor is fantastic! I like to fork split them, toast to a golden brown and add real butter, then lightly top with honey. Do yourself a favor. Try these English muffins. You'll be glad you did.

Captain EO Tribute

Thursday, 25 Feb 2010 | Disneyland

I was excited to hear Captain EO, a 3-D movie starring Michael Jackson and Angelica Huston was returning to Disneyland where it debuted in the 1980's. The film was directed by Francis Ford Coppola and produced by George Lucas. The return of Captain EO to Disneyland started on February 23, 2010.

For me, it brought back memories of seeing the film as a young adult. I had always wanted to see Michael Jackson perform live, but unfortunately never will due to his untimely death. At the D23 Expo, I saw the actual Captain EO outfit Michael Jackson wore for this film. I was amazed at how slim he must have been to fit into that costume.

As for the film, the sound and image quality is better than what I remember in the past. They used the original 70mm master for the Captain EO Tribute. The audience applauded during the viewing, I believe reminscing about viewing it during it's first Disneyland run.

Dinner at Min Sok Chon with Ingrid & Miki

Thursday, 15 Oct 2009 | Food, Friends, Restaurants

My friend Ingrid was in town for business and pleasure, so I made it a point to get together with her while she was here. Ingrid moved to Virginia fron San Diego a while back because her husband is Naval officer. Although I haven't met up with Ingrid many times, I miss her being on the West Coast.

I had the pleasure of meeting ingrid's best friend Miki. It's funny. I had never met Miki before, but I felt I knew her because of all the pictures I have seen of her on Ingrid's photostream at Flickr. :)

Since Ingrid and I are both half Korean, it seemed fitting to meet at a Korean restaurant, Min Sok Chon in San Diego for dinner. We had a great time catching up and eating. Ingrid ordered a large Raspberry Soju, a Korean rice wine, not knowing it would be a huge carafe!

We ordered BBQ Beef, Spicy Broiled Pork Ribs and Kimchi Fried Rice.
