Starfish won me over with soup … and more

March 29, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 23 Comments

PF Chang’s abolishes a decade long bias

January 19, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 25 Comments

The setting was beautiful, with community tables set up on the outside patio. The weather […]

a bizarre hodge podge of deliciousness

About Me

This blog is a journal of mostly my eating adventures, but also, other things I'm passionate about, including travel, the arts, and also, necessities to complete my life. Centered predominantly in and around Orange County, CA, some will extend to Los Angeles, San Diego and beyond. I am constantly searching for delicious food to eat and fun things to do, nothing is out of bounds. Sometimes it doesn't end well, but I can definitely say, it will always be an interesting journey.
