That’s it. I’m done with coffee. I’m now heavily addicted to tea thanks to Teavana, an awesome tea shop usually found in malls. I was strolling around the Galleria in Roseville (near Sacramento) when I happened upon this tea store. Currently on the hunt for mint green tea, I figured I’d find what I wanted…

Preggatinis: Cocktail Recipe Book for Pregnant Women (and Designated Drivers)
Cocktail photo by Claire Barrett Why should drinkers have all the fun this holiday season? And poor designated drivers, sitting there with their sad little sodas and chewed-on straws. Fortunately this month, Natalie Bovis-Nelsen (aka the Liquid Muse) — L.A. cocktail blogger extraordinaire and a certified mixologist — has come out with her first cocktail…
This Weekend: Holiday Lights Bus Tour, Champagne on Sale, Free Prime Cheeseburgers

Osteria Mozza: My Favorite Restaurant, Minus the Quail
People always ask me what my favorite restaurant is. And while I can offer up a selection of those I’m fond of, I never really had a favorite before — that one answer that’s at the ready for any dinner-related question, the one that I utter with glee every time. That is until I had…

Wurstkuche: Mmm, Beer. Mmm, Sausages. Mmm, Bacon.
Have you noticed how it’s fuh-reeezing outside? You know what’s the best way to keep warm? Pad on the fat. At least that’s my excuse for pigging out during the holidays. And there’s no better way to get that extra cozy layer than by consuming bratwurst, double-dipped Belgian fries and some fine holiday ale. New…
Rawk Out With Jesus: Jesus Christ Superstar for Only $11.50
Don’t laugh but I LOVE the musical/rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar. Love. It! I’ve seen the 1973 movie a bazillion times and have memorized all the songs (I like singing Judas’ parts) but I’ve never seen it on stage. So imagine my joy when I saw that it’s playing at the Wilshire Theatre in Beverly…
This Weekend: Run, Hike, Drink, Kiss

Little Dom’s, Now With a Classic Cocktail Menu
Dammit, found another awesome place for cocktails all the way on the Eastside. Add it to my growing list of fave bars that I can’t visit often enough and never really get to: the Good Luck Bar, Tiki Ti and Bigfoot Lodge to name a few. However, unlike those bars with their endearingly zany cocktails,…
