Now that we’re already somehow in the middle of May, Memorial Day is fast approaching. Memorial Day growing up always felt like the official kickoff of summer. And while it still is, over time I have come to realize the importance of the day. It’s so much more than hanging out by a pool on a Monday and eating your weight in pasta salad — although that’s all pretty great. It’s a day to remember those who died serving our country. A lot of planning and preparation goes into Memorial Day celebrations and observance in West Pittston, and if you are looking to help out this year there are opportunities for you.

Super thrilled about my trip to Southern California! Spent two weeks in San Diego without any shopping, just exploring and tasting all kinds of delicious food. Here are some highly recommended restaurants! 🌟 At the top of my list has to be Little Italy! 🇮🇹 I was dreaming about Little Italy before I even arrived, and it didn't disappoint. Despite San Diego's population being under a million, it has a sizable Little Italy that gives you a New York vibe! Italian restaurants here are fiercely competitive, and it seems like all the ones recommended on Google Maps are pretty good. 💚 Buon Appetito Restaurant 1609 India St, San Diego, CA 92101 Had to visit this place twice because it was so delicious. Highly recommend their variety of pasta, especially the creamy white sauce or pink sauce, both bursting with flavor. The seafood linguine and pesto pasta with potatoes and green beans are must-tries, satisfying all carb lovers' dreams. 💚 Costa Brava 1653 Garnet Ave, San Diego, CA 92109 Spanish cuisine, the tapas and seafood paella are excellent. The paella isn't too raw and is packed with ingredients. Squeeze some lemon on top, and the flavors just pop! 🍋🥘 💚 The Presley 2855 Perry Rd, San Diego, CA 92106 Located in Liberty Public Market, a renovated naval base, kind of like the 798 Art Zone. It’s a great spot for a dopamine-inducing healthy brunch. Their salmon avocado eggs Benedict, various salads, and a unique veggie bun appetizer are delicious. The salads are well-dressed, even with mustard, making them particularly appetizing. Their greens are as pleasing to the eyes as they are to the palate, and the portions are generous. Next, let's comfort the Asian stomach with two Vietnamese spots: 🍜 💚 Thien Huong 9349 Mira Mesa Blvd, San Diego, CA 92126 This place is always packed, highly recommended for brunch. The rice noodle platter and Western-style iron plate are tasty. The rice noodles dipped in fish sauce have that authentically strong flavor. The Western-style iron plate, with crispy French bread wrapped around soft-boiled eggs and beef slices, offers perfect nutrition and texture. Lastly, Southern California's weather is what people pay big bucks for; the sunshine is so bright, it makes you forget all worries, and I.
