It is not the obligation of children to befriend classmates who have demonstrated aggressive, unpredictable...

Outstanding Black Angus sirloin patty. As good as Gordon Ramsey. The ice cream lovers in our party also liked the milkshake experience, with premium ice cream and real whipped cream. Burger Bar Las Vegas 3930 S Las Vegas Blvd #121A, Las Vegas, NV 89119

There are two famous Spanish restaurants in Las Vegas, Jaleo and Julian Serrano. We experienced Jaleo last fall and enjoyed the ambience and the food. But I think the food is better at Julian Serrano – but it’s too bad they’re positioned in Asia’s noisy, cavernous lobby. What you don’t see in the following picture is the 2nd plate of...
(Haha, click bait titles are such a cliche now.) http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/communities/north-county/sd-no-yelp-list-20180221-story.html “Three restaurants in North County and two in San Diego have been ranked by Yelp reviewers this week among the Top 100 Places to Eat in 2018. Back for the second year in a row are Sunny Side Kitchen in Escondido, which moved up six slots to No. 45, and...
One was too slow. Kyodai Sushi (But the Baked salmon roll was yum.) One was not bad. Sushi Kami My favorite: Paradise Roll In: Tempura Shrimp, Krab, Avocado, Cucumber, Gobo Top: Seared Tuna, Green Onion, Sriracha (Soy Mustard) One was just right. Ototo Sushi The flavor is always very good and the menu is very creative.
I don’t know how old this picture is, but it looks almost exactly like my mom’s kitchen from the early 60s. And if it’s Steve Perry, it must be the 80s
Don’t set your watch to these liftoffs. But I’m glad I can sleep in again tomorrow
Good thing we didn’t drive up to Vandenberg Launch Schedule
https://gizmodo.com/spacex-s-ambitious-internet-satellite-project-is-set-to-1823004481 Here’s the Reddit r/SpaceX page talking about how to watch launches: https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/wiki/faq/watching/ I thought about driving out to Vandenberg this weekend to see the launch but it seems the sight lines for launch site SLC-4E are not that good. Might be just as good to find a hill in San Diego.
For your mini restaurant experience…a mini Chicken enchilada platter with rice and beans. We love Pollo Loco. Their chicken is so tasty and delicious. What is in it??
Why ZEN? Best Kung Pao Chicken in San Diego. Tons of chicken and peanuts, not too many onions. Classic dry, red sauce that is not goopy. Spicy wontons – meaty pork with no spongy fillers. Steamed fresh spinach. Chicken Udon soup. ZEN Modern Asian Bistro 13510 Sabre Springs Pkwy, San Diego, CA 92128 (858) 216-1068 https://goo.gl/maps/MyzZ69W5ksM2
I love Pacific Poke’s fresh fish, and spot-on, perfectly seasoned sushi rice. The subtle vinegar-sugar flavor is addictive and complements the fish so well. The rice is never too dry or too mushy. Can you tell I love their rice?? Today I got a Medium: 3 scoops, one scoop each of Spicy Ahi (cubes in rooster/mayo sauce), Spicy Tuna (mashed),...
