A travel & food blog from Andi Fisher - Merry musings of a feisty food slash globe-trotting wannabe Frenchie!
I was in Death Valley last weekend where Mr. Misadventures took a ton of photos which I will share soon. I didn’t take a lot of photos, but on our drive back to Las Vegas I spotted this Opera House in the middle of no where. According to my hubby there is some crazy history [...]
I have always found that many aspects of the Japanese culture produce tranquility. I took this photo two weeks ago just before enjoying dinner. It was during my first week of work and I found the setting of my local Japanese restaurant, O’Chame, tranquil. Oh sure, the beer didn’t hurt…. I thrive on change and [...]
Last Tuesday I had the privilege of seeing 1,221 people from 103 countries become U.S. citizens. And ones of those new citizens was Mr. Misadventures! The naturalization ceremony was held in the beautiful Paramount Theatre in downtown Oakland. It’s a gorgeous art deco theatre built in 1931 that hosts films, stage presentations and comedy shows [...]
Today is Macaron Day in France! There will be lots of celebrating and lots of lines all around Paris for free macarons (here are locations). I myself am not a big fan, although I keep trying. The last time I ate one was more than a year ago when I bought a box from Ladurée [...]
I was looking through some photos for Highlights I was creating for my AFAR Wanderlists when I ran across this one of the sunroom inside the Chateau Richeux. I do wish they would hurry up with that whole Star Trek transporter thing, or even the holodeck, so that I can curl up with a book [...]
My Oscars day write-up is coming up tomorrow (promise!) but in the meantime I wanted to share some of the dresses worn by the non-celebs on the red carpet. Some beautiful others, well, interesting. Nancy O’Dell host of Entertainment Tonight poses for the cameras. Although you could call her celeb media I guess, she is [...]
A little GRAMMYs humor…this sign was sitting on top of the piano. Right next to the sign on either side are things placed on top of the piano! If you missed my behind the scenes guest post about my day at the GRAMMYs Rehearsals on Camels & Chocolate, head over there now and take a [...]
Am I the only one who is a total geek about these things? Internal dialogue: “Seriously Andi, excited about a parking sign from one of your favorite shows….” I totally can’t help it! And in my four plus years of working at my job it still isn’t passé to me! And while I love the [...]
I want one of these signs for my kitchen! This one was spotted at Searsucker in San Diego which I wrote about a few days ago. How about you? Ever spotted something in a restaurant that you wanted?
A few weeks ago I was invited to visit North Lake Tahoe as part of a Kred Rewards program (read more about what Kred is here). It had been nearly fifteen years since I had been to the Lake Tahoe area, and even then, it was only to South Lake Tahoe. What a mistake that [...]
Bonjour!
