The Hungry Cat and Santa Barbara Farmers Market

Happy Birthday Viet Linh; Dinner at Raphael

My sister-in-law, Viet Linh’s, birthday is just one day before my sister’s birthday.  I’m always exhausted and super busy during March, but it’s always fun. For Viet-Linh’s birthday I was happily invited to dinner at a beautiful restaurant called Raphael.  It’s located in the very

The Disneyland of West Hollywood Pancake Houses: The Griddle Cafe.

On a weekend morning, with the sunshine in full effect, the girls and I decided that pancakes were in order. I’m not much of a breakfast person, but the ladies (Stephanie and Bryn) are and they’ve been raving to me about the delicious offerings of The Griddle
