Sugar ‘N’ Spice 310 Marine Avenue Newport Beach, CA 92662 (949) 673-8907 After our brunch at Balboa Island, some people wanted to have frozen banana down the street. Frozen banana?

Wilma’s Patio 203 Marine Ave Newport Beach, CA 92662-1203 (949) 675-5542 http://www.wilmaspatio.com When we finally got to Balboa Island, I was tired, thirsty, and hungry.

We parked our bicycles outside. [...]

Eileen — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:47:54 +0000

Last time I rode a bicycle, I think I was in 3rd grade. I bought a bicycle two weeks ago. Last weekend I went riding for the first time in 25 years. All of our friends and Dr. P are experience riders. My friends told me they found a “easy” trail for me to try for [...]

India Cook House 14130 Culver Dr Irvine, CA 92604 (949) 857-4858 http://www.indiacookhouseoc.com I really think the best way (and the cheapest way) to enjoy Indian food is to go for the lunch buffet. Almost all Indian restaurants offer Indian buffet, and it usually cost under $10. Dr. P and I were both craving for some Indian spices. A little googling, [...]

May Garden Restaurant 梅園 1400 Bristol St Costa Mesa, CA 92626 (714) 751-9229 I’ve read about May Garden Restaurant on Wen’s blog.
