Santa Barbara: Like Visiting an Old Friend

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark September 4, 2010 Interactive Travel

ShareI grew up in west L.A. Good, bad and ugly, one of the good-est aspects of this childhood locale was it’s proximity to Santa Barbara. It’s hard to know how many people have heard of this gem of Southern California. I mean, I believe it’s fairly well known; If for no other reason than the […]

Family Fun and Faire Fare

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark July 6, 2010 Travel and Adventures

ShareFirstly, please don’t leave me because of my alliteration addiction. Addicts need love, too. Evidently, we also need to indulge in carb, fat and sugar laden treats whose visions and aromas waft unjustly to our senses at any county fair worth it’s salt. Oh yes, salted goodies, too, tempt the palate. This is not the […]

Olive Me – Why Not Take Olive Me?

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 11, 2010 Random Ponderings

ShareWhole olives or olive oil? As we flew into Seville, Spain, our plane passed over vast groves of olive trees…so appropriate a welcome. I can’t help but wonder what is consumed more – olives in their tasty, meaty entirety? Or the olive oil that goes into virtually every dish? Even at breakfast the Sevillanos drizzle […]

Houseboat Happiness: Lake Powell Days 3 & 4

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark October 14, 2008 Travel and Adventures

Share I’m liking this ritual of a morning kayak through our neighborhood. This time, we go exploring and venture deep into narrowww canyons… we actually abandon my posh Solstice kayak and tuck it away in a dark watery dead end, to protect its’ girly figure, and proceed to force the plastic boats through progressively narrowing […]

Oh No! Marmites! & Other Culinary Commentary (New Zealand)

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark October 11, 2007 Random Ponderings

ShareSo, you know I like to at least TRY the traditional local fare when visiting places far and wide…hence the fried whole fishies and hot snail juice in Sevilla. Which means I had to sample the famed (or infamous) Marmite of New Zealand, known as Vegimite in Australia, or the West Island. I made some […]
