		<title>Lake Hollywood Park</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Sneak away from the hustle and bustle, and steal a quiet, close-up view of the notorious 
Hollywood sign in all it&#8217;s glory, at this cute little neighborhood dog park.
As many of you are aware, the Hollywood sign was recently in jeopardy, as the land surrounding it was up for development.  Thanks to 
Hugh Hefner, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>John Kelly Chocolates - Hollywood, CA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Tucked away on a side street just above Sunset Boulevard, in a neighborhood most commonly sought out for its guitar shops and 
luthiers, and right around the corner from the ever popular rock n&#8217; roll Thai restaurant 
Toi on Sunset, is 
John Kelly Chocolates - a wonderful little artisan chocolate factory that opened its doors [...]]]></description>

		<title>Junior&#8217;s Delicatessen - West Los Angeles, CA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


Junior&#8217;s Delicatessen has  been one of my favorite Los Angeles deli&#8217;s since I first discovered it back in the late 80&#8217;s.  They have endured 50 years at the same location on Westwood Boulevard in West Los Angeles, and with any  luck they will be around for 50 more.
Everything  on the menu [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Comedy Store - West Hollywood, CA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


I can&#8217;t say it enough.  In these tough times, we need more comedy.  While the TV networks are &#8212; thankfully &#8212; dishing up more punchy comedic shows this season, sometimes a girl needs more.  Sometimes a girl needs a walloping belly laugh that lasts all night.
That&#8217;s where 
The Comedy Store comes in.
For [...]]]></description>

		<title>Udupi Palace - Sunnyvale, CA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

It is amazing how a fantastic gem can hide right under your nose, undetected.  For seven years I drove past the sign for 
Udupi Palace and commented on the name in a bad Indian accent, without once thinking to stop in and check it out.  How could I have been so clueless for so long?  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Journey Back From the Abyss</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today is the Pagan New Year.  It is a time for exciting new beginnings.  Seeds and bulbs stir quietly beneath the earth, trees shed their amber leaves, and the winds of change sweep away the old and stale, leaving everything crisp, fresh, and new.   I am thrilled to celebrate the New Year in my new [...]]]></description>

		<title>Apricot Ricotta Pie with Honey Almond Crust</title>
		<description><![CDATA[



A couple weeks ago, Tony and I started a diet, eliminating gluten (mainly wheat and rye flours, and products containing such) and sugar.  We still eat fruit, and certain sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, stevia, and agave.    We are also attempting to eat six small meals a day, and follow the principles of food combining and the [...]]]></description>

		<title>One year ago today&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; I launched this blog.  And what a fun time it has been!
How quickly the months have passed!  And, in that time my readership has grown from a handful of devotees to thousands of readers a month.  I have connected with long lost friends, and have even made a few new ones, and look forward [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Old Port Lobster Shack - Redwood City, SF Bay</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last month, while thousands of people lined up hoping to receive &#8220;Great American Food&#8221; at nearby Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View only to be 
tragically let down, I found myself craving a quintessentially iconic American food item that was not included on 
the menu, which was put together by 
Ed Levine of 
Serious Eats.


For some reason, I just couldn&#8217;t get [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hotel des Arts - San Francisco</title>
		<description><![CDATA[




Sometimes the best made plans are laid to waste and you just gotta be spontaneous, think fast on your feet, and go with the flow.  Such was the case last weekend, when we were unable to make it to our destination for dinner and fireworks on the Fourth of July, which I had arranged for months in [...]]]></description>
