Born and raised over on the West-sigh-eed, I lived this crazy cloistered existence, which encompassed unincorporated University Place (now citified), Lakewood and Ruston Way (see last week’s column). Everything else was too far away, and downtown Tacoma was strictly off-limits. I now live in the heart of Tacoma

Well, the birthday has come and gone, however with one small change. The birth “day” has morphed into the birth “week.” This extensive celebration is fabulous for my social life, but not so much for my figure. I enjoyed seven days of decadent food and libation with family and friends.

Happy Birthday to me! This weekend I celebrate getting older, but I really don’t mind. I carry my age better than most do (I believe), my wits are still in tact, and with age comes wisdom. Doesn’t it? I am an Aries, therefore an idea person. So for my birthday,

I feel it is my duty, friends, to reveal a scourge, a plague if you will, that has been far-reaching throughout the land and is getting much worse: credit card processing services. You know the companies that give you the convenience of using your credit or debit card at your

The other day while avoiding my housework by channel surfing on the tube, I stumbled upon one of my favorite movies, Waiting. If you have ever worked in the restaurant business, you will relate to this movie. However, if you haven’t seen it, you most likely will enjoy it, but

Times are changing, my friends, and I wish they could be for the better. All of us are feeling the pinch, and if you’re not, you are either living under a rock or you have more money than any one person should have. Those of us in the food and

I love sushi. Sushi, sushi, sushi. Here it goes, down, down into my belly. Yes, sushi is my Achilles heel, and I cannot ever seem to get enough. In Seattle there actually is a sushi restaurant on South Lake Union called I Love Sushi. We are fairly lucky
