You may know about Don Day, the foodie. But you may not know that, in addition to eating and drinking, I have another obsession. Between meals, I enjoy doing things like pruning and planting, hoeing and sowing. Yes, Don Day has two very, very green thumbs and, in San...
There are a lot of Mexican dishes I miss when I’m living the other half of my double life in Canada. But none more than tacos al pastor. In my opinion, there is no taste so simple yet so complicated anywhere else in Mexican cuisine. The term al pastor can be defined...
Susan and I had both seen the buzz all over social media. “Marco is back. Marco is back.” So, when we were planning one of our not-often-enough lunches, I loved Susan’s idea that we’d go to Tyto’s and have one of Marco’s fondly remembered pizzas. Susan is Susan Knight...
It was the comments on a post in SMA Foodies that caught my eye. Someone was asking about the best burger in town. And the usual names were on the recommendations list. Grandpa & Son. Absolutely. Birdie’s. Of course. Hank’s. Definitely. Chilly Billy. La Chope....

It was mostly memories not tacos that took us to Restaurant Del Parque. There on the page dedicated to the restaurant on the Casa de Sierra Nevada website was a photo of “our table”, the exact place where we sat several times, starting over twenty years ago, in what...
I went to Spain a couple of months ago. By way of Celaya in Central Mexico. Enjoyed the trip immensely. Thanks to an amazing tour guide called Costco. The retailer did an extraordinarily good job of finding the very best values from all over the country. With only one...
