SAN JOSE – Flyers forward Wayne Simmonds was in front of the San Jose net twice on successful power plays to carry Philadelphia past the Sharks 5-3 in the season opener at sold-out SAP Center Wednesday night.

Seoul food

In an atmosphere where the din of clamoring forks and plates rises slightly above the conversation with servers bustling back and forth in traditional dress, the familiar aroma of grilling meats fills the air and fuels my primal instincts.

Burrito Barney

It’s not what we feed the baby barn owl, it’s how.  Volunteers at the Wildlife Education and Rehabilitation Center wrap the squirming, screaming little raptor in a towel “burrito-style”. This method keeps them safe from its sharp talons and allows one person to maintain control while feeding it pieces of rodents with forceps. It can sometimes be a messy process, and after feeding time is over, baby needs its face and beak washed up.

Time to de-clutter and reinvigorate your space

Now that the decorations are put away, and the busyness of the holiday season has slowed a bit, is your home looking a little bereft? Does that family room feel a little empty or really cluttered?

Whew … a sigh of relief follows yet another great Gilroy Garlic Festival

Been to the Cook-off Stage at the Garlic Fest before, but I’ve never stayed for a whole segment until Sunday. Carla Hall kept me in my seat. The winner of “Top Chef” TV show and the current star of “The Chew” on ABC, is, as my mother used to say, “a riot.” Her mix of down-home humor, witty banter with the crowd, incredible culinary skills and ability to articulate the creative cooking process is a treasure. Add her genuine outgoing nature and she’s a perfect fit for our fest. One of Gilroy’s top chefs, Donny DeLorenzo, who was cooking up peppers and onions, said Carla delighted the crowds on her walk-about through Gourmet Alley, graciously posing for pictures and talking with the crowds for a long time. Carla loved the fest and the fest loved Carla. So, hopefully, we can extend that invite to come back soon because she’s the real deal.
