The Temecula creek golf club has had its ups and downs with multiple ownership changes, the latest is Pechanga buying the property few years ago. The restaurant (cork fire kitchen) is still here with very nice view of golf course. Weekend brunch menu items are typically $20 and kids $9. Food...

Today is the annual trout fishing derby at Irvine lake. The shoreline is completely packed. Since the lake was stocked for the tournament, you can just go after and there should be some fish left. No fishing license required, $5 parking. https://irvinelakefishing.com/

Avail at Whole Foods in the frozen section next to gluten free products. Delicious and buttery when toasted. 4g carbs each. Thumbs up and much better texture than the “Royo” brand low carb bagels (also avail at Whole Foods). Also, is it just me or does the Barns and Nobel next door feel...

For some odd reason, Costco's Kirkland Jeans sized 34 waist is loose like 36, but 32 waist is accurate size. If only they made a size 33 for me. :(

Lunch special is OK, limited meat selection, drinks and ice cream included. Except the price ($28) is kinda high, cheaper to eat at Indian buffet in Tustin.

My first week of returning to Irvine for work. For some odd reason, I cannot seem to get too far from city of Cerritos or Irvine. After years being away from Cerritos/Lakewood, I ended up marrying someone from my high school (Artesia High) and moving back to Cerritos area (Norwalk just north...

Maaco in Downey has offered 50% off at least twice this year so far. The discount is bigger than other locations but you have to keep eye out on their web site: https://www.maaco.com/locations/ca/downey-12580/ The standard paint work does not include color polishing, so don’t expect a factory...

Looking to replace my washer. Sadly the speed queen front load model is out of my price range. Seems online reviews bash every brand/model except the most expensive.

It's been over a month since I've been laid off and I have yet to see a single unemployment insurance payment. Called in to ask what the issue was, said I didn't look for work in last week of April so they have to setup an interview to ask why. (No interview was actually setup or communicated...

* I finally got around to try Carbonaut bread, found it for sale at Sprouts for $10. It's $6 at Target but I think you may have to order it. In terms of taste and texture, I give it a thumbs up for low card bread. Need more time to evaluate impact to glucose levels. * Took a celebratory...
