I saw the author, Mark Ukra, on The View one day during the Summer when Whoopi was on a diet. The segment was about dealing with staying on track with weightloss goals. If I recall correctly, one of Whoopi’s challenges was dealing with cravings for sweets…who doesn’t have cravings for sweets? Mark Ukra has lots [...]

He stumbled into a Korean restaurant when there visiting some family. The restaurant was not terribly busy so he decided to give it a try. What amazed and impressed [...]

What a fantastic book! I read a review of this memoir in People magazine a couple of weeks ago and knew it was the book for me. I picked it up at the library today and started reading it at 10am. I finished it at 10pm tonight…couldn’t put it down. Now if you don’t truly [...]

I’m putting on my flame-retardant suit for this post. Brian’s birthday subscription to Playboy arrived today. He would be mortified that I am writing about this on my blog…but he doesn’t read my blog…so what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him. Kenny, I know you will be on the phone to him as soon as [...]

I’m sitting here looking around my house and am saying to myself, “Blech!”. I have the ever WONDERFUL Sylvia, our real estate agent, coming over tomorrow to assess what needs to be done to get this house ready for sale. OK, I’ve been in Sylvia’s house…and it’s a show place, not in a particularily extravagant [...]

If you are from Southern California…you are probably painfully (pun intended) aware of Tommy’s and Tommy Burgers. Tommy’s was started 60 years ago at the corner of Beverly and Rampart. It was, and still is, a shack with wood 2×4′s put up on the surrounding buildings to make a “bar” where you could stand and [...]
