My pending mid-life crisis (scheduled for Sept 14th).It’s all here and it’ all good!
I’m keeping the menu simple and family is helping but I am making smoking hot pom-martinis that will be ice cold and literally smoking from dry ice and
the Best Burgers.

Lanterns must be hung and chocolate cake must be made.But on tonight’s agenda we are tailgating before the Angels game as they go up against Oakland.
One thing I love about the Angels, Disney bought them years back and revamped the stadium with waterfalls and big rocks and the ushers are dressed in old-fashioned uniforms with straw hats. At the 7th inning stretch, they go down on the field and everyone sings.
You can see the Big A sign for miles off the 57 freeway.
The halo sparkles when the Angels win.
I love driving home from somewhere and looking to see if it is lit up or not.
Just a little tradition in the OC. 🙂
Have a great weekend!
