Went to visit the Tapias today for Sylvia’s Xty Xth birthday. She was busy creating a couple of amazing wreaths made out of dyed corn husks while we watched her favorite Christmas movie, “Elf.” I watched the movie while petting both Lilo and Stitch’s tummies. Never was reciprocated. After a delicious home-made meal and the …

Had lunch with the Tapias at Pei Wei Asian Diner in Mission Valley today to celebrate Rodrigo’s birthday. Like my previous visit I had the Caramel Chicken which was a bit spicier than last time, but so delicious nonetheless. After lunch we walked two eateries down to the Corner Bakery Café to pick up some …

Best way to begin your day is to have a delicious, home-made breakfast with some friends.

Picked up some great Mexican food from Colimas in Chula Vista and then watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two at the Tapias’ house to finish off the wizarding series. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Thought they did a fantastic job and I’m very sorry there will be no more installments.

Traveled up to Dana Point with the Tapias to get some burgers and amazingly tasty fried zucchini from A’s Burgers. After lunch we walked along the beach watching surfers handle massive two-foot breakers. Drove back on the 101 so we could enjoy the small towns lining the coast. ( a d v e n t …

Had a really nice Chinese lunch with Lannie at Pei Wei in Mission Valley. Wanted to try something new so I ordered the Caramel Chicken, which had a little bite to it but was really flavorful and I would order it again. Lannie and I ended up sitting and catching up for almost two hours, …

After walking around and taking some night shots in Old Town, I had a fantastic Mexican dinner in with my friend, Barbara, and her friend, Kim. We ate at Casa de Reyes in the Fiesta de Reyes area. I ordered the shredded beef taco and pork tamale combo plate and it was excellent. Food and decor-wise it …

Had most of the family over for dinner tonight. Of the locals, only my older brother couldn’t make it. The túrós csusza that my mom made and the palacsinta (crepes) that my sister made tasted great as always.

Picked up some great barbecue from Phi’s BBQ with the Tapias and had dinner in Chula Vista, followed by a late night viewing of the scary movie Insidious. The food was awesome as usual. The movie was mostly good scary entertainment. First 2/3 of the movie was fairly good and unnerving, but it went downhill …

Finally got around to adding my mom’s amazing gulyás to her recipe blog.
Oct 30 2011
Went along on a grocery shopping trip, ordered a (gasp!) new drink (Salted Caramel Mocha) from Starbucks instead of my ever-usual Caramel Macchiato, picked up some pizzas for dinner and sat and watched both Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince as well as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One. Perfect way to close …

Took pictures of my mom making authentic-ish Hungarian gulyás (goulash) to one day post on my recipe blog. I can add this one to the other five I have waiting to add.

Old family friends who we haven’t seen in over forty years arrived this afternoon for a quick 24 hour visit. Too bad I can’t remember them other than by their family name. We sat and chatted, then went out for a Mexican dinner at Tio Carlos in the Midway area meeting my older brother and his kids …

My mom and I went over to Ozzie’s house for a chicken dinner that Jeri had prepared for us. Ozzie and Kimi showed up a bit later. After dinner I played with the three kittens and then joined the others who were playing a few rounds of Scattergories.

Had me a great French Toast Slam for breakfast this morning with my mom. Our waitress, Steph, had a great attitude and was always on top of things. What made the whole meal even better was that they had decorated the restaurant for Halloween. Pretty good way to start my day.
