I parked myself on a bistro table and enjoyed a leisurely lunch of a salad, a baguette and an iced tea. I was so happy to be seated outside the European bakery in Santana Row on a gorgeous sunny day like today as I toggled my attention between my Kindle and the people walking by. When I got ...

Crab & Arugula Salad with Avocado-Lime Dressing
I can't remember ever craving crab. I've eaten it all my life. I even remember eating talangka (ta-lang-kah), tiny shore crab--whose bodies don't get much bigger than a silver dollar--during my short time in the Philippines. If I remember correctly, they're prized not for their meat but ... Read More

We reconnected with our just-married ... Read More
Coconut Lime Bars
It's been 48 hours since my return from Los Cabos, Mexico. I spent a week lounging, reading, watching the waves and (occasionally) drinking a frozen margarita poolside on the south end of Baja California. Between swimming and reading I took pictures, lots of pictures. As usual, organizing them is ... Read More
