We stopped in this Popeye’s Fried Chicken today. It’s one of those newfangled restaurant gas station combinations. That seems like such a great idea to me. We all know how well gasoline goes with just about any kind of food, right? The point of this story is that, somewhere in the back, one or more … Read more
James got his first pair of shoes today. He’s been standing for a while now, and even walking along (sideways) while holding onto things. In the last few days, he’s been taking a couple of unaided steps and so… here he is, stomping away and have a good old time. Technorati Tags: Blog, Family, Kids
This is two weeks in a row that I’ve eaten in a residential house converted into a pizza place. (The other review has been delayed due to a fact-checking issue and will be posted after this one.) Pizza City is a weird little place which is only open 5 days a week: Sun, Tue, Thr, … Read more
Last weekend, I took Michelle to Encanto Park on Saturday morning. The idea was just to get out of the house for a while, but it was a beautiful day and the park was virtually empty.

The menu is simple and straightforward. They have six kinds of dog, all featuring Vienna Beef products and a … Read more
DiVito’s has been serving up food since 1973 and in some weird quirk of fate and circumstance, despite eating there since 1993, I’ve never eaten a pizza in their restaurant. (I’ve had a few take-out ones, but that doesn’t qualify for a review pizza.) When I eat at DiVitio’s it’s for lunch, and their “homemade” … Read more
So, having busted on Phoenix’s Chinese week celebration, I also have a proposal for improvement. Unlike western New Year, Chinese New Year isn’t just a single day. The New Year celebration covers 15 days from the actual eve of the New Year until the Lantern Festival 15 days later. While not every day in the … Read more
I’ve added a new static page explaining the general guidelines of my pizza reviews. It should appear on the right side of all pages and you can refer to it at any time if you need reminding on my methodology. Technorati Tags: Blog, Pizza, Review
