Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot in Los Angeles
I love Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot. So, during a visit to Southern California, I was quite excited to try the Los Angeles Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot. Sometimes, Chinese businesses confuse me.

Jackie’s Chan: The Myth
iTunes is selling Jackie Chan’s: The Myth for $9.99. However, a better deal is watching the film on Hulu for free. Preferably sometime within the next 48 hours because streaming rights expire on 12/31/2009 at 11:45 PM PST. Sure, Hulu can run its Cadillac ads, but I think something is missing in the equation. Why…

Sierra Snow Pack
This winter, we’ve already had quite a few major storms. So, out of curiosity, I wanted to see whether this winter will be the season that brings all talk of droughts and water rationing to an end. The good news is that we are ahead of last year. The bad news is that we are…

I returned to Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot last weekend. I still need a copy of their menu, but at least I took photos this time. Sunday night is hot pot night for no particular reason other than parking is free that night. This time, we ordered far less food than last time now that…
