Mexican Bloody Mary – 5:00 Fridays

Ilinap · April 22, 2011 ·

I've just spent the better part of a week in San Diego for spring break with my family. No, we didn't go to the zoo. Yes, we went to Sea World and LEGOLAND.

As we squished sand between our toes on our weekend beach getaway, I was once again moved by the … [Read more...] about The Beach and Bad Words

Spring Sorbet – 5:00 Fridays

Ilinap · February 25, 2011 ·

Bird was sick last week. Then Mac Daddy came home with the flu. Deal has so far been spared. I am the flu's latest victim. I shan't bore you with the phlegmy, fatigued details of my malady. Suffice it to say that I haven't an appetite for … [Read more...] about Spring Sorbet – 5:00 Fridays
