Dining at Meat District Co. in Pasadena

Posted on October 17, 2014 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: Meat District Co., Meat Hook, Pasadena restaurants | Leave a Comment

A few blocks north of Colorado Blvd on Raymond Avenue is a wonderful gem of a restaurant that is aptly named Meat District Co. The restaurant opened in late August. I remember reading about the grand opening online & thinking that the concept sounded very interesting. A couple of weeks ago, I attended a luncheon with a handful of bloggers. Before I sat down to order, I peeked inside their meat locker. I learned that Meat District Co. … [Read more...]

Sky High Sports: The Trampoline Place

Posted on October 13, 2014 | Filed Under: Mommy Stuff | Tags: Sky High Sports, trampoline dodgeball, Woodland Hills trampoline park | Leave a Comment

Every now & then, my daughter will have random days off from school. Sometimes it’s a holiday & other times it’s one of those teacher in-service days. We had one of those school vacation days about 2 weeks ago. So what’s a kid to do when you want to spend an hour or two with school friends? Rather than hosting a get-together at my house, I decided to call up my daughter’s BFF (well actually her mom) & schedule a play date at Sky High … [Read more...]

B. Toffee – Milk & Dark Chocolates

Posted on October 4, 2014 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: B. toffee, Betsey Thagard, Orange County toffee shop | 10 Comments

I had a part-time job in college & one of my co-workers would make toffees & fudge every Fall/Winter. Around October, I remember asking Linda "What type of toffee will you make this season?" Every year I would look forward to her sweet treats. That was many, many years ago (like 20!) & sadly I don't get to enjoy her homemade toffee. That's why I'm so glad to have found out about B. toffee! B. toffee was founded by Betsey … [Read more...]
