You’ve had it. Your kitchen is ugly, cramped and out of date. It’s time for a change. But how much of a change do you need? More importantly, how much of a change can you afford? What’s out there that will make your kitchen your dream kitchen? […]
Imagine you have out-of-state houseguests asking where they can go to experience a small ocean beach town here in Northern California. It has happened to us, and our current recommendation of Pacifica may surprise some. You might expect us to mention Santa Cruz or Half Moon Bay, and both are great choices and probably better known.

Barbershops have been around for thousands of years. Beyond just getting groomed, going to the barber meant going to a place where men could gather and discuss topics of the day. (And if you were lucky, your barber could also pull teeth and perform surgical procedures. Quite the one-stop shop.) Meanwhile, women stayed at home to have their hair arranged, or “dressed.” […]
Beautiful Victoria and Vancouver have long been on our bucket list for an extended stay, and a few months ago we fulfilled that dream. We’ve been to both cities for brief cruise stops but never fully explored the regions. Our gaffe! A few folks suggested we should also consider checking out Richmond’s culinary scene, the nearby revitalized fishing town of Steveston, and Whistler’s famous resort area. […]

Eating breakfast out is one of those things that has to be done right to make it worth the while. Luckily, we here in San Joaquin County have plenty of options to fulfill that need, from greasy spoon diners, to waterfront views, to high-end farm-to-table fare. Many (in fact, most) of the breakfast spots on our list have developed a cult-like following, so while you may have to wait to be seated, it’s a small price to pay for the food and the service you’ll receive. Indeed, just one bite of a crepe at Midtown, the Poor Man’s Benedict at Avenue, or a giant pancake at Chuck’s, may make you want to start a Breakfast Club of your own. If you’re looking for a local place to break your fast, look no further. […]
