Day three of our road trip found us in Fargo, ND. I have to admit, my preconceptions of North Dakota were completely off base. For some reason I expected ND to be flat and treeless (was told the state tree was the telephone pole). It was actually a very picturesque state with rolling hills. There …

These photos are from dining establishments in and around Valparaiso, IN. Next week will mark four years that I have been a regular visitor to Valpo. When I first started coming here I used to think that I would have to go to Chicago to get a decent meal. Steak ’n Shake and Bob Evans …
When I visit Tanya in Valparaiso, there are a couple of restaurants I try to always make time to visit. My favorite restaurant in Valpo has to be Don Quijote Spanish Restaurante. We discovered this gem due to a billboard on the highway claiming it was the only Spanish restaurant in Indiana. I guess a …
To be honest, I try to avoid restaurants that are part of a chain. Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule. In 2009, I introduced Tanya to Benihana’s and they suddenly became a chain restaurant that I became a regular diner. While I have become readily familiar with the “egg roll,” the “disco” …
It started innocently enough. A friend of mine posted a photo of a doughnut on Facebook. I commented on it. Someone else responded to my comment and a conversation ensued.

It is no secret that my favorite place to get sushi is at Gu Gu Sushi & Roll in Hermosa Beach. I have been dining there for almost two years, and have yet to leave disappointed. In fact, one of the things I enjoy the most about Gu Gu, is that it really does not …
If you follow my adventures enough to be looking at these specific words, you probably picked up on the fact that I am a huge fan of Gu Gu Sushi & Roll, in Hermosa Beach, CA. I have introduced people from around the globe to this sushi goodness. No one has ever left disappointed. This …
I am sure, as a child, you were told to not play with your food. I know I was. Of course, no one suggested that I should not take pictures of my food. Besides, sometimes the presentation of the meal is almost as much fun as the tastiness. Heck, I would be kidding myself if …
Tanya wanted to go to Barnes & Noble to do some research. I was planning on buying The Kid some books for Christmas, so it made sense to tag along and finish up my Christmas shopping. I bought four classics and Tanya discovered she already owned the best book for her needs. Since our errands …
