Recipes, Restaurant Reviews, and Travel
A few months ago, I went to visit my friend, Double Down, to see his new condo that he purchased with his then girlfriend, now fiance, Marisela (congrats guys!). That night, his fiance had a girls' night in where she and three other women painted on canvases in the living room while watching an online... Continue Reading →
I went over to my friend, AmasianV's place one summer afternoon because I was in the area.

This is a fairly quick and simple post that's really just here to complement a few other dishes. More specifically this savory yogurt sauce goes extremely well with grilled lamb, chicken, grape leaves, homemade gyros, and salads. There are a lot of different ways to make this cucumber yogurt or Greek tzatziki-like sauce/dressing/dip. The few truths... Continue Reading →
In full disclosure, I'm personally acquainted with the owners and employees of the Lotus Pepper food truck. That means my review may be a little biased, but generally, I tried my best to be objective. It didn't hurt their cause though that I happen to love Vietnamese food, which Lotus Pepper specializes in serving! What... Continue Reading →
