My love of quick breads continues!

I recently bought two big bags of almonds from Ralphs – they were hiding back in the clearance section. I thought they’d come in handy for something. I was right …

I have a feeling this place will appear on my blog in the future after a few more visits. It’s just that good! But for now, check out my article on Tobey’s 19th Hole over at Travelin’ Local. Homestyle eats on a golf course!

I’ve been telling Jake for a long time that he needs to try Pho – or Vietnamese beef noodle soup. For one reason or another we had managed to avoid it, not go there, give up, whatever. One evening, after failed attempts at visiting other restaurants, we ended up going to Pho Convoy Noodle House in Chula Vista and Jake finally had his first bowl of Pho!

Princess Leia tells Han how she feels about him… only to have him encased in carbonite 30 seconds later. Bit of a rocky start, but hey, they made it through.
