I’ve written before, rather lovingly, of African Peanut Soup. I love it. It’s my favorite. The runner-up, however, also comes from Dianne’s Restaurant & Catering.

Transported by Taco King
A good friend of mine is getting ready to vacation in Mexico. I have to say, I’m a bit envious of her as I look out my window to a mostly gray day and shiver. I’m more than ready for some hot sun in my life, or at least green grass and leaves on the trees!

Driving by Ducks
Sometimes when I drive to work, I detour to one of my favorite stretches of road. I cruise by Wonderbread’s Sunrise Bakery, past the cool new Hillcrest/Spenard sign, and down the hill.

“Write Naked,” was Barbara Hodgin’s advice to her husband, Howard Weaver, when he began working on his new book, Write Hard, Die Free: Dispatches from the Battlefield and Barrooms of the Great Alaska News War. Not related to actually writing sans clothes, but about writing that is authentic and unguarded (and infinitely more enjoyable to read).
For the Love of Coffee
When she found out that I was writing a blog about Anchorage, my high school BFF asked if I’d be posting about Kaladi Bros. If you know me outside of this blog, you’re probably wondering why that wasn’t my very first post! In fact, it almost was. But my love affair with coffee is deeper that just a drink, and therefore, harder to write about.
Potholes, I Don’t Love You (But I Do Love 343-MEND)
Melting snow, spring sunshine, no more ice on the roads – all things that make me very happy during my morning drive to work.

I Want the Record!
…is what I thought to myself this morning when I woke up and saw the fresh snow. And now: 133.6 inches, the snowiest winter on record!
