EAT OUT – Real Foodies

More Farm Bathing, this time, in South Carolina!

‘Twas the day before the Monday of winter break in White Plains, NY and nary a plan was in sight. As someone who grew up in sunny California, the notion of a winter break is not ingrained in my psyche; HOWEVER, we have two kids, ages 7 and 8, and the weather was pretty frigid. The promise of a steady diet of “No more screen time or else!!!” or, in reality, “How about another season of Bunk’d?” for a week, put some fire under my butt to figure something out. So I hit Airbnb in search of warmth of any [...]

MENUS I LOVE PART 1: Delarosa SF

People wonder why I don't "review" restaurants on Tasty Bits and I always respond by saying that I like to write about topics that are accessible to all, so I try not to write about restaurants, until now. There are certain menus that I love because they either contain a few items that are ridiculously good, I crave when I haven't had them for a while and/or want to try at home. I figure that if I can get chefs to share a recipe or recipes from their amazing menus, then it becomes relevant to all. Of course, you can [...]

THE YUCKY AND YUMMY OF EATING OUT

Anytime I eat out, I either experience something that I really love or don't love so much and often wonder if anyone else agrees with my observations. I have shared a few here, cus I know you don't have all day! I would love to hear what your loves and pet peeves are about eating out and maybe I will dedicate a whole separate post! YUCKY! 1. Stinky water glasses: I don't know what ever compelled me to stick my nose in my water glass for the first time, but I do it at every restaurant and, unlike wine, you [...]

ANOTHER PU PU PLEASE

Aloha! My fella and I just got back from 7 beautiful days on the Big Island of Hawaii. I expected huge hotels, mumu-wearing tourists and lots of bad key chains. What I found was one of the most beautiful, topographically diverse and relaxing places I have ever visited. I have been to Maui twice, once to run the Maui Marathon ( I bring that up as often as I can) and the second time simply to explore. As majestic as Maui is, there is one thing inherently missing that I found on the Big Island and that is, the spirit [...]
