Marching along we’re adventurers/ Singing the song of adventurers/ Up or down, North, South, East, or West, an Adventurer’s life is best!
I finally got a chance to go down to Rosie’s Calico Cupboard this past weekend to find some border fabrics for my rescue quilt top. I’m finding that one way to pick the right fabrics is to use my cell phone to take pictures of the color combinations. For some reason they look different on my phone then in real...
Knitting solves two problems for me – my OCD and my need for variety. Thank you Ravelry.Com for being an endless fountain of new patterns.
The memo stated, “Friendly Fraud – what it is, why it’s challenging, and why you shouldn’t try to block it.” “Friendly fraud” is the term Facebook used when children spent money on games without their parents’ permission. Facebook made clear that game developers should let children spend money even without their parents’ permission. The company was focused on revenue, not...
http://bluewaterseafoodsandiego.com/m/ Finally we have found truly fresh fish in San Diego. And how did we find it? By watching Mark Wiens’ YouTube channel! We had to find out about this place from a guy who lives in Thailand! At 615 on a Sunday night, the line was out the door. We waited a good 20-25 minutes just to place our...
OK, I just want to say that I discovered Tig Notaro last year on Netflix thru her show One Mississippi. At first her slow way of talking drives you crazy but what it reflects is a deep confidence in herself, confidence that the audience is listening. And she is so authentic in what she says and does. It actually changes...
Tea in America is still such an underground thing. Oh, you drink tea? Yeah, so do I! Kinda like having a tattoo or something. Of course in the Asian subculture in America, tea is everything and everywhere. I started drinking a lot of tea after we took a trip to Japan. We were getting lots of drinks from the vending...
Today I ordered a small with only 2 scoops. It doesn’t look like much, but really (by global standards) it’s quite a bit of food. PONH uses high quality food, very fresh veggies, and properly prepared sushi rice with that slight hint of vinegar and sugar. Best Poke bowl in San Diego. Recommend you check them out!
Our family seriously loves Pollo Loco. We go at least once a week and we rack up the Loco points and I’ve lost track of how many $10 rewards we’ve redeemed. In fact the girl that works there knows our order and punches it in as soon as she sees us! If you don’t already know, Pollo Loco chicken makes...
Yet another ebay find. There’s many, many quilt tops for sale on ebay but they’re not all of similar quality. It’s really a crime what these sell for (typically $25-150), it doesn’t represent, at all, the time put into them. This top was hand pieced from one inch squares. No sewing machine! It’s mind boggling, the effort that went into...
3 more crocheted blankets. The top one was made for Ms S, lots of yellow in it. Yellow’s been her favorite color forever. I’m not a yellow fan yet this color combination really works, don’t you think? With the remaining yellow (really a goldenrod) I whipped up another blanket in a color way that was again out of my comfort...
I love discovery, adventure, and the unexpected and my partner loves points and miles. Based in San Diego, our goal is to reach every continent, World Heritage Site, and Disneyland park…and everything in between. This blog is our trail of breadcrumbs. Join us…and Kungaloosh!
