January 21, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 13 Comments

Back when I was writing for the OC Register, my friend Selene suggested we go check out Avocado Cafe in Newport Beach so I could write about it. The reason?

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.
