December 11, 2017 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

It’s been quite some time since I last visited Cucina Enoteca, but when out of town guests are wanting Italian somewhere near Irvine Spectrum, it’s a no-brainer that we end up here. We are here over Thanksgiving weekend and it is surprisingly quiet, which is an absolute delight, given how much I dread going to […]

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.
