Thursday comes. And am still not ready. I have taken hundreds of photos of the dishes I cooked for the past four years. And recipes I have created and tested. In fact, it’s taking most of my computer space. Still. I don’t have enough. Sometimes, none meet with what I’m looking for. Or, that fit…

Your electric bill is going to be expensive! I once asked our maintenance guy… “Hey, Jed… how’s your electric bill…? “Expensive!” “Really…?…
I first moved to Vegas, by myself and stayed with my sister, while Ramon finished the school year and Willie was waiting for military retirement. On one of his visits, I told him about the restaurant my sister bragged about. The name was Sam Woo BBQ Restaurant. A Chinese restaurant that served authentic Chinese foods. …
