Or is it? I was so delighted the first time I had this fantastic roll, I immediately cursed my foolish self for not toting along my camera to share it with you. So, of course, a second visit was most certainly in order, and I now proudly present the Pain in the Ass roll, designed [...]

As conventional wisdom goes, a trip to a gourmet restaurant should yield a cornucopia of cooked goods, ranging from pork to salmon to beef to frog. These dishes will likely be preceded by a savory salad and followed by a sweet dessert. But who says that’s [...]
Wineworks for Everyone 26342 Oso Parkway Mission Viejo, CA 92691 (949) 582-0026
I’ve always envisioned myself living in a cozy neighborhood with a local wine bar which I can walk to, relax, perhaps listen to some jazz, and pass the time with some [...]
I’m half British, so it should come as no surprise to any of you that I’m a big fan of afternoon tea. I love allowing a pause during those otherwise frantically busy days to relax and enjoy a good cup of tea and miniature-sized foods. Today, in celebration of my mom’s birthday (again), I ventured [...]
Whether we like it or not, we’re living in an age of unbridled enthusiasm for frozen yogurt. Some say Pinkberry started this wildly popular new craze of culture-infused yogurty ice cream coupled with a smorgasbord of delectable toppings ranging from freshly diced pineapple and mango to Captain Crunch cereal and Japanese mochi. I’m not sure [...]

My first restaurant review in months, you must be so excited! I know I’m excited to be writing about real food that I actually ate in a restaurant again. Better still, I get to illustrate my enchanting literature with rapturous photographs from my new camera taken under the [...]
Bordeaux is a fantastic city, one that I found surprisingly big and surrounded by a comparatively huge expanse of vineyards, chateaux, and grapes. The city has a very medieval feel to it, reminiscent of towns both in the south of France, like Saint Paul de Vence, as well as those in England like Oxford and [...]
Those of you who know me and my restaurant preferences in Providence, you know I’m a huge fan of Farmstead’s restaurant, La Laiterie. This will not be a full review of the restaurant, but I felt like creating a post about why I like the experience of dining there so much, and what [...]
Last night, I went to see Brown’s newest main stage play entitled Peer Gynt (pronounced “pair gint”), written by Henrik Ibsen. The play was originally written as a dramatic poem and was meant to be entirely unstageable–a complete break from traditional play performances. As such, the abridged version of the play that I [...]
