Cultural

A few weeks ago I was driving back to my office after a meeting and noticed a sign that said "Happy Hour." It's not secret I like happy hour, so I Google'd the restaurant and found out it served Peruvian food. Later that week a friend who is also a reporter for the Roseville Press Tribune was at the restaurant to write a review and I was emailing his co-worker. We set up a lunch meeting for this week and we both got to have Peruvian food for the first time. I had the Causa Limena (chicken salad and potatoes), it was excellent and I cannot wait to go back and try other items on the menu.

 Over the weekend I headed to the Apologetics Conference at Bayside. Although I may not be able able remember everything the speakers said, it is always great to remember that I have a faith that can be tested and has so much historical evidence in support of many of its claims. Lee Strobel, JP Moreland and the others were all phenomenal and I'm looking forward to the next conference in October 2014. The conference was also another good excuse for me to use my portable battery charger for my iPhone, so nice to use my phone without worrying about it running out of battery for the day.

Snow at Fort Bradley

After a great open house with friends and family at Fort Bradley, a birthday dinner at Zocolo and watching Blind Side , I did not think the day could get much better ... but then it started to snow. Fort Bradley is looking more and more like the Bradley Lodge and is becoming a " Winter Wonderland ." Or maybe it's beginning to look a little more like Christmas .

Celebrating Peanut Butter and Pancake Days, Skiing and Friends

Image
It was a week of varied experiences. I used my Chick-Fil-A Calendar Card for an order of free fries (and also ordered a wrap and ice cream sundae ) while out to dinner with a friend, then joined my parents for the weekend at the Bradley Lodge . My dad and I got a beautiful day of skiing in at Bear Valley ... beautiful since so much snow had fallen. My mom and grandma went all out on dinner and we celebrated Peanut Butter Day with a dessert of Reese's Chips Ahoy Cookies and Reese's Peanut Butter Pie (funny part ... we had no idea it was going to be Peanut Butter Day in advance, we just already had those items and it made for a good excuse to eat them). On Sunday I met with with friends at Rolling Hills Christian Church for a night of worship and baptism and then we headed to dinner at Casa Ramos ... my plate of food was giant (I actually brought leftovers home). On Tuesday I found out it was Pancake Day and figured I should celebrate. I made a few pancakes for my room
