So you’re going to Mauritius

Local-recommended things to do. Most of the travel guides I've seen for Mauritius are written by non-locals. So here's my recommendations as a Mauritian. Weather/micro-climates. The south and south east areas are generally more on the windy and chilly side. Everywhere else on the coast is predictably sunny and warm (or hot) pretty much all …

A quest for sleek, comfy, easy-to-maintain kitchen island bar stools.

Do light, modern, comfortable, and functional kitchen bar stools even exist? It seemed impossible to find, but we found the perfect solution.

A picture-perfect beach day

A long-billed Curlew searches for lunch just north of Malibu. They migrate from Northern California to winter in Southern California. It was the first full day of autumn, and it seemed only appropriate that we should play hooky by going to the beach and soaking up the vestiges of summer rays. The air was calm …

Drivin’ the I-5

IT WAS OUR FIRST ROAD TRIP since the pandemic, an eight-hour drive from Southern California to the Sacramento area. On the way north, we took I-5 (also known as "The Five" in Southern California parlance). The I-5 can take you from Mexico to Canada (and I've driven the full extent, though not in one trip). …

A little tribute to my big sister

NOT TOO MANY years ago, sister Claudia came to visit Sherry and me in the San Francisco Bay Area. Claudia had brought her treasured bike, a gift from her siblings upon her 60th birthday in 2010. It was a bright pink Schwinn with a basket in the front, and she loved her two-wheeled vehicle. We …

Our Ladybug Picnic

We have a favorite little beach we frequent just north of Malibu. It's just a 20-minute drive from home. It's well off the proverbial "beaten path," but, being the introverts that we are, we want to ensure that we have the place mostly to ourselves, away from boisterous people, especially those with dogs off leashes. …

Tiramisu without mascarpone

Tiramisu is George’s favorite dessert. When my friend Rubaab mentioned she made it, I asked her for her recipe. However, I ended up modifying the recipe slightly to replace the mascarpone with coconut cream. When I posted about it on my instagram story, several people asked me if the recipe was vegan and if I …

Rules of the Road for Driving in L.A.

Los Angeles is a big place and in its own world. This is especially true when driving. The rules of the road apply a bit differently to L.A. drivers, so before you roll, it’s good to know what you’re in for. To begin with, those little white lines separating lanes are merely a suggestion. L.A. …

This place is for the birds

There was a time, not so long ago, when we could do whatever we wanted at our humble domicile. But then our avian friends arrived, and they decided that “Su casa es mi casa.” They just moved right in, without even asking permission.. In fact, they seem to have quite the attitude, as though we …
