Style Magazine - February 2022

Whether the words “bibimbap” and “bulgogi” ring any bells or not, this month’s feature, “Head East!” (page 72), is aimed at informing and hopefully inspiring you to explore unfamiliar-to-you fare. From Thai, Vietnamese, and Chinese to Japanese and Korean, we share the flavors that define each country’s cooking and a list of the most iconic eats. Hopefully it encourages you to think outside your typical takeout box and dig into something that surprises you…in the best, most delicious way. What else is cooking this month? In honor of Valentine’s Day, we have lots of lovey-dovey content, including a spotlight on four meet-cute couples who make marriage look easy (“Two’s Company” on page 22); the region’s prettiest pink drinks to sip alongside your nearest and dearest (page 92); and relationship pointers from the pros, ensuring your courtship stays sexy and spontaneous (“Together Forever” on page 38). One of the tips? Scheduling at least two date nights every month. If you’re looking for something different to do, consider reserving a spot at Auburn’s hottest table in town, Restaurant Josephine (page 88); heading out for a hike on the Homestead to Blue Ridge Loop (page 42), or attending a crab feed fundraiser, art exhibit, or live performance (page 12); all are wonderful ways to bring the butterflies back, if even for a few fleeting hours. I wish I could say my husband and I have big, passionate Valentine’s Day plans, but we’ll be bonding over the birth of our baby girl—estimated to arrive any day now—so I’m anticipating a February filled with little sleep, lots of Thai takeout (our family’s favorite!), and an abundance of love. See you after my maternity leave. Cheers! —Megan megan@stylemg.com @meggoeggowaffle

| editor’s letter |<br />

Growing up, my only exposure to<br />

Asian food was Chinese takeout<br />

(from Bel Air of all places!), where<br />

my family would stuff their faces<br />

with all the westernized staples<br />

we knew and loved: chicken<br />

chow mein, pork fried rice, and<br />

broccoli beef. Delicious? Indeed. Authentic? Not<br />

so much. It wasn’t until going to South Korea<br />

in fifth grade; moving out of Auburn to bigger,<br />

more metropolis cities (San Diego and Sydney);<br />

traveling across Asia; and finally marrying<br />

someone with the last name “Lim,” that I was<br />

exposed to what real, and really good, Asian<br />

food is all about. Don’t get me wrong: Syrupysweet<br />

orange chicken and deep-fried sushi<br />

slathered in sauce is seriously satisfying, but<br />

there are so many more layers and flavors to<br />

the cuisine, too.<br />

Whether the words “bibimbap” and “bulgogi”<br />

ring any bells or not, this month’s feature, “Head East!” (page 72), is aimed at informing<br />

and hopefully inspiring you to explore unfamiliar-to-you fare. From Thai, Vietnamese,<br />

and Chinese to Japanese and Korean, we share the flavors that define each country’s<br />

cooking and a list of the most iconic eats. Hopefully it encourages you to think outside<br />

your typical takeout box and dig into something that<br />

surprises you…in the best, most delicious way.<br />

MUSIC<br />

What was<br />

the last book<br />

you read?<br />

“Frank: The Voice by James<br />

Kaplan. Sinatra was the<br />

greatest voice and entertainer<br />

of the last 100 years—talented,<br />

complicated, and mesmerizing.<br />

What a life!”—Terry Carroll<br />

“Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for<br />

Meaning. I was bracing myself for a<br />

depressing read (like Elie Wiesel's<br />

Night) but despite the dark<br />

Holocaust subject, the book was<br />

strangely uplifting and offered<br />

many nuggets of wisdom—and a<br />

much-needed reality check!”<br />

—Tara Mendanha<br />

“Republic of Thieves—the third<br />

book in Scott Lynch's amazing<br />

urban fantasy series: Gentleman<br />

Bastard. Lynch quickly became<br />

one of my new favorite authors<br />

with this series, and I cannot<br />

recommend it enough.”<br />

—Ray Burgess<br />

“The Stranger Beside Me<br />

by Ann Rule. Nothing like a<br />

real-life account of knowing a<br />

serial killer to help you sleep at<br />

night!”—Emily Peter-Corey<br />

“The Art of Happiness: A Handbook<br />

for Living by Dalai Lama and<br />

Howard C. Cutler, MD. It came<br />

recommended by my sister and<br />

is all about intuitive wisdom and<br />

understanding human psychology<br />

to define the purpose of life.”<br />

—Taylor Gillespie<br />

“Bringing Up Bébé: One American Mother<br />

Discovers the Wisdom of French<br />

Parenting by Pamela Druckerman. It’s<br />

full of actionable advice that I plan to<br />

try on my soon-to-arrive baby girl, like<br />

‘le pause,’ which apparently helps your<br />

child sleep through the night at just a<br />

few months old. Here’s hoping it works!”<br />

—Megan Wiskus<br />

“I just read The Alchemist by Paulo<br />

Coelho for the second time. This<br />

book hits home for anyone in<br />

seach of some sort of purpose<br />

or meaning to their life. I could<br />

read it many times and discover<br />

something new that I missed the<br />

time before.” —Gary Zsigo<br />

Find a<br />

Friend<br />

by TARA MENDANHA<br />

Don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t<br />

have made it through the pandemic<br />

without friends to check in with,<br />

commiserate with, and celebrate small<br />

wins with. If you’re looking to make new<br />

friends or just someone to share your<br />

passions and hobbies with, check out<br />

one of the places below.<br />

Bond over books. Reading<br />

doesn’t have to be a solitary<br />

hobby. Join one of the umpteen<br />

book clubs in our area to find<br />

a friend who gets your wordy<br />

puns and can talk for hours on<br />

their favorite author. Folsom<br />

Public Library (library.folsom.<br />

ca.us) has monthly book clubs—<br />

including a YA club, which<br />

meets every month at Folsom’s<br />

Barnes & Noble Kitchen. They<br />

even offer “book club in a bag.”<br />

Fit4Mom Folsom Lake<br />

El Dorado Hills’ Face in a Book<br />

(getyourfaceinabook.com) has<br />

nonfiction and “travel and taste”<br />

clubs, where you can get 15% off<br />

on the selected works. Roseville<br />

Public Library (roseville.ca.us/<br />

library) also has a couple of<br />

monthly book clubs (like their<br />

popular “page turners” club) at the<br />

Maidu Library.<br />

Meet other mommas (and<br />

dadas). One of the best ways to<br />

make friends if you’re a parent<br />

is through workout and activity<br />

groups. Fit4Mom Folsom Lake<br />

(folsomlake.fit4mom.com) offers<br />

Stroller Strides (a total body<br />

workout for moms with kids in<br />

tow), prenatal classes, Stroller<br />

Barre, a run club, and more at<br />

locations across Folsom and<br />

El Dorado Hills. Steve Wallen<br />

Swim School (wallenswim.<br />

com) in Roseville and El Dorado<br />

Hills offers baby classes and<br />

family swim classes for an<br />

enriching bonding experience,<br />

as well as the opportunity to<br />

meet other families. Other fun<br />

locales to meet families at are<br />

My Gym (mygym.com/folsom),<br />

Capital City Music Together<br />

(capitalcitymusictogether.<br />

com), Tricks Gymnastics<br />

(tricksgym.com), Roseville<br />

Academy of Dance<br />

(rosevilleacademyofdance.<br />

com), and Extreme Gymnastics<br />

(extremegymnastics.com),<br />

among others.<br />

Join hands. Find a cause<br />

close to your heart and<br />

buddy up to build a better<br />

community through volunteer<br />

work. Whether it’s Friends<br />

of Folsom (friendsoffolsom.<br />

org), Placer SPCA (placerspca.<br />

org), Upper Room Dining Hall<br />

(upperroomdininghall.org),<br />

or through any of the other<br />

nonprofit organizations in<br />

our area, you’re sure to find<br />

purpose—and friends.<br />

Man’s best friend. Grab<br />

your furry friends and head to<br />

the dog park. They could just<br />

help you make friends on—and<br />

off—the field. RRUFF Dog Park<br />

(rruffhealingheroes.org) in<br />

Rocklin offers a safe and fun<br />

environment to bond over pets<br />

with their numerous activities<br />

and events. The EDH Community<br />

Dog Park (eldoradohillscsd.<br />

org) is another good place for<br />

pets and pals, as are Paul J.<br />

Ryan (aka Hacienda) Dog Park<br />

(cameronpark.org/paul-j-ryanmemorial-park-dog-park)<br />

in<br />

Cameron Park, FIDO Field Dog<br />

Park (folsom.ca.us/government/<br />

parks-recreation) in Folsom, and<br />

countless parks in Roseville (Bear<br />

Dog Park, Hughes Dog Park, and<br />

Saugstad Dog Park).<br />

Work that network. If you’re<br />

a small business owner, your<br />

local chamber of commerce<br />

can be more than just a handy<br />

resource. It can also be a great<br />

place to meet like-minded<br />

people and partake in some fun<br />

activities. Take, for example,<br />

the Roseville Area Chamber of<br />

Commerce (rosevillechamber.<br />

com) that offers a variety of<br />

opportunities to socialize—<br />

including happy hours, coffee<br />

chats, breakfasts, and luncheons<br />

(we’re sensing a foodie theme<br />

here!). The Folsom Chamber<br />

of Commerce (folsomchamber.<br />

com) has numerous mixers and<br />

gatherings while also hosting big<br />

events like the Folsom Women’s<br />

Conference. And The El Dorado<br />

Hills Chamber of Commerce<br />

Two’s Company<br />

Local Couples We Love<br />

by TARA MENDANHA<br />

We love “love” here at <strong>Style</strong>, which is why this<br />

Valentine’s Day, we’re showcasing four local<br />

couples who are madly in love with life and<br />

each other. Cheers to a love-filled <strong>February</strong>!<br />

Tamara & Q Bennett<br />

Loomis<br />

What's your favorite thing about<br />

your partner?<br />

TAMARA: Our private time of having<br />

conversations—and it really doesn’t<br />

matter what we’re discussing. I love his<br />

perspective.<br />

Q: Her brilliance and her faith.<br />

What's your least favorite thing<br />

about your partner?<br />

TAMARA: I think I’m spoiled, and he<br />

loves to remind me of it!<br />

Q: I really have none. If I were to be<br />

picky it would be “her brilliance.” She<br />

thinks she knows everything!<br />

What challenges have you faced<br />

together and how have you<br />

overcome them?<br />

TAMARA: The greatest challenge was<br />

the opening of Q1227 Restaurant<br />

three months prior to the pandemic.<br />

Q prepared an awesome business<br />

plan that we were challenged to fulfill.<br />

But when it was time to fully reopen,<br />

Q developed a culture that brought<br />

comfort and unity [amid] racial riots<br />

and divisions. This entire process<br />

brought us closer.<br />

Q: In years past, just the everyday<br />

challenge of balancing work and home.<br />

We combined the two and now we<br />

work together.<br />

T<br />

amara was leisurely riding her<br />

bike on the river in Sacramento<br />

when an incredible aroma lured her<br />

into the Rio City Café where Q worked<br />

as a sous chef. “The meal was so<br />

impressive that I returned to have<br />

dinner there three weeks later,” she<br />

recalls. She returned many times<br />

thereafter, always remaining cordial<br />

toward Q until once day, he came to<br />

her table and blurted out that she was<br />

going to be his wife. Stunned, she<br />

retorted, “If you believe I’m your wife,<br />

you’ll need to go to God and ask Him<br />

what it will take for you to get me.”<br />

Needless to say, Q fulfilled her request<br />

and won her over.<br />

How and when did you know the<br />

other person was "the one?”<br />

TAMARA: Prior to meeting Q, I was<br />

a widow and coming out of a very<br />

uncertain season. His persona always<br />

provided me with comfort, safety,<br />

and the assurance that I was going to<br />

be OK.<br />

Q: She was what I wanted and needed<br />

for growth and maturity.<br />

How do you keep your relationship<br />

strong?<br />

TAMARA: Quality time together—<br />

whether it’s the end of the night,<br />

sitting in bed discussing our day, or<br />

daycations to Dana Point or Napa.<br />

It’s important for us to have [each<br />

other’s] undivided attention.<br />

Q: Prayer and my faith!<br />

What advice would you give to other<br />

couples?<br />

TAMARA: Pray together and God will<br />

help keep you together.<br />

Q: Pray, pray, pray. Marriage is like a<br />

large pot of stew—the longer we stay<br />

in the pot the more tender we become.<br />

Things will be thrown in the pot<br />

throughout the relationship (kids, bills,<br />

etc.) but as long as we stay in the pot<br />

and communicate our way through, we<br />

will end up with a nice tender marriage<br />

full of flavor (love, peace, blessings,<br />

joy, etc.).<br />

was being with her. It didn’t<br />

matter what school I went to<br />

or how many other fish were<br />

in the [sea]. All that mattered<br />

was continuing to grow our<br />

relationship.<br />

What's your favorite thing<br />

about your partner?<br />

JENNIFER: His ability to put<br />

others first and understanding<br />

of my talent for shopping.<br />

JARED: She knows what she’s<br />

passionate about and does<br />

what she loves.<br />

What's your least favorite<br />

thing about your partner?<br />

JENNIFER: How loud he chews<br />

crunchy foods and the fact<br />

that he doesn’t think we need<br />

a monthly budget for designer<br />

clothes.<br />

JARED: Her disdain for country<br />

music. I mean, come on, we<br />

grew up in El Dorado County,<br />

and she seemed to love it when<br />

we were dating. I feel duped!<br />

What challenges have you<br />

faced and how have you<br />

overcome them?<br />

JENNIFER: The loss of Jared’s<br />

mom shortly after we were<br />

married. Our faith in God [got<br />

us through].<br />

JARED: Recently, high-waisted<br />

jeans. I know fashion isn’t my<br />

expertise but who thought<br />

those were a good idea? She’s<br />

convinced they’re fashion<br />

worthy, and I’ve learned to<br />

keep my mouth shut!<br />

having graduated president and vice<br />

president of their class in 1998.<br />

“Jared was my first boyfriend and is<br />

the only man I’ve ever kissed!”<br />

confesses Jennifer. Two boys and<br />

businesses later, they’ve now been<br />

married half their lives and are still<br />

madly in love.<br />

How and when did you know the<br />

other person was "the one?”<br />

JENNIFER: I knew Jared was a good<br />

guy, but when I saw the way he<br />

treated his mom I knew he was who I<br />

wanted to be with forever.<br />

JARED: While preparing to go off to<br />

college, the only thing I cared about<br />

How do you keep your<br />

relationship strong?<br />

JENNIFER: We talk a lot. Well,<br />

I do. Jared does a lot of<br />

listening!<br />

JARED: By putting energy into<br />

things I can add value to or<br />

do something about and not<br />

dwelling on the things I can’t.<br />

What advice would you give<br />

to other couples?<br />

JENNIFER: Even the closest<br />

couples need time apart to<br />

recalibrate and recharge.<br />

JARED: Humility is not a<br />

weakness. Practice humility<br />

and lifting your partner up.<br />

What challenges have you<br />

faced together and how have<br />

you overcome them?<br />

TAHNI: Opening a restaurant<br />

(Reset: Café by Day) nine days<br />

before a worldwide pandemic.<br />

We’ve pivoted and gotten as<br />

creative as we can to keep<br />

revenue flowing, including<br />

selling our home in 2021 and<br />

moving into an Airstream<br />

full-time. We’ve also secretly<br />

faced some extreme medical<br />

challenges with a couple of our<br />

children. We’re not strangers<br />

to hospitals and wondering if<br />

your child is going to live.<br />

JOHN: The biggest has been<br />

health issues with children.<br />

The second biggest has been<br />

trying to save a business we<br />

started at the beginning of<br />

the pandemic after investing<br />

everything. We’ve survived on<br />

love for each other, creative<br />

revenue streams, a supportive<br />

community, and the generosity<br />

of others.<br />

John &<br />

Tahni Voelz<br />

Folsom<br />

T<br />

ogether for 38 years and<br />

married for 34, Tahni and John<br />

met in high school at a church snow<br />

camp. “I thought he was a show-off<br />

and he thought I was ‘loud,’” says<br />

Tahni. John, for his part, also admits<br />

he found her “super cute.” Despite<br />

the attention Tahni was getting<br />

from other boys, John was sure he<br />

had a chance. “She had a boyfriend<br />

she was dating at the time I met her,<br />

but I knew his paisley golf shorts<br />

were no match for my wit and<br />

charm!” he says.<br />

How and when did you know the<br />

other person was "the one?”<br />

TAHNI: We were high school<br />

sweethearts. I knew he was the one<br />

halfway through senior year.<br />

JOHN: Way earlier than her. I saw<br />

her walking with her then boyfriend<br />

and said to my friend, “I’m going to<br />

marry her.”<br />

What's your favorite thing about<br />

your partner?<br />

TAHNI: How he truly loves people and<br />

wants the best for everyone. He’s the<br />

hardest working person I know and<br />

never gives up.<br />

JOHN: She’s creative in a thousand<br />

ways, and I know she will always have<br />

a good way of fixing a problem or<br />

making a change. She can design a<br />

home and organize a closet, plan a<br />

garden layout, and lay a drip system.<br />

She cooks better than your mom or<br />

grandma. And she makes me laugh!<br />

What's your least favorite thing<br />

about your partner?<br />

TAHNI: He eats meals hovering and<br />

standing at the kitchen counter.<br />

JOHN: I do things that bug her even<br />

though they are things she does<br />

all the time like eating chips loudly,<br />

getting “in her way,” leaving things<br />

on the counter, etc. Oh, and she asks<br />

me every night if I’ve taken the dogs<br />

potty. The answer is “yes.” Always.<br />

How do you keep your<br />

relationship strong?<br />

TAHNI: We both love nature and<br />

camping and make sure we<br />

recharge doing that as much<br />

as possible. Visiting all the U.S.<br />

National Parks is on our bucket<br />

list. We’ve checked off 19 so<br />

far and plan to check off eight<br />

more in <strong>2022</strong>.<br />

JOHN: We get away as often<br />

as we can to camp, hike, and<br />

chase waterfalls. We call this<br />

“marriage insurance” and we<br />

save up for it like we would any<br />

other insurance.<br />

What advice would you give<br />

to other couples?<br />

TAHNI: Make sure you take<br />

time at least weekly to<br />

communicate. Our Friday<br />

morning breakfast date is also<br />

our planning and calendar<br />

meeting time. This way we<br />

have a clear expectation of<br />

each other. We also enjoy the<br />

challenge of trying to make the<br />

other one laugh.<br />

JOHN: Talk all the time. Plan<br />

together. Problem-solve<br />

together. Go over your<br />

calendars together. Eat meals<br />

together. Say you’re sorry.<br />

Rest as often as you can.<br />

get to know<br />

and allows me to be 100% myself.<br />

She encourages my passions and<br />

supports any endeavor.<br />

JUSTINE: She’s always been so<br />

supportive of my ideas and<br />

projects—including starting our<br />

own bakery. She’s the perfect<br />

half—the calm to my crazy.<br />

What's your least favorite thing<br />

about your partner?<br />

CANDICE: She is very hard on<br />

herself and often overthinks<br />

things. I wish she could see how<br />

great and talented she is.<br />

JUSTINE: She’s extra stubborn<br />

about how to do things—but<br />

then again, so am I. We joke<br />

that we usually want the same<br />

outcome but each have our own<br />

plan of how to get there.<br />

What challenges have you<br />

faced together and how have<br />

you overcome them?<br />

CANDICE: Does two years in a<br />

pandemic, Zoom-schooling our<br />

son, and running a small business<br />

(Sugar Sweetery) count? We<br />

overcome our challenges by<br />

being a team and not giving up.<br />

JUSTINE: We’ve gone through a<br />

lot but both of us going fulltime<br />

in our business six months<br />

before the pandemic started<br />

has been the most challenging.<br />

We had to completely change<br />

our business on the fly, but it all<br />

worked out.<br />

Candice &<br />

Justine Cabanilla<br />

Rancho Cordova<br />

C<br />

andice and Justine were both in<br />

separate relationships when<br />

they met at a mutual friend’s<br />

birthday party back in 2013. Despite<br />

the circumstances, there was an<br />

instant connection they just couldn’t<br />

shake. Later, they found themselves<br />

single at yet another gathering and<br />

this time, sparks flew. “It didn’t take<br />

long for us to start spending lots of<br />

time together and develop a<br />

relationship,” says Justine.<br />

How and when did you know the<br />

other person was "the one?”<br />

CANDICE: [When we met the<br />

second time] there was an instant<br />

connection, and I knew she was<br />

special. I fell hard and said the “L”<br />

word very early in our relationship.<br />

JUSTINE: I knew she was the one<br />

when I was visiting my mom in<br />

Texas for Thanksgiving, and she<br />

sent us flowers and wine. My mom,<br />

unfortunately, was diagnosed with<br />

pancreatic cancer the very next<br />

month (passing in <strong>February</strong> 2014)<br />

and Candice was amazing to me,<br />

my mother, and my family despite<br />

having only [been dating] for six<br />

months.<br />

What's your favorite thing about<br />

your partner?<br />

CANDICE: I love that Justine gets me<br />

How do you keep your<br />

relationship strong?<br />

CANDICE: We try to have balance<br />

in our lives and do things that<br />

bring us joy. We travel, slow<br />

down, and eat great food,<br />

which helps us enjoy moments<br />

together.<br />

JUSTINE: The biggest thing<br />

is that we really enjoy being<br />

around each other.<br />

What advice would you give to<br />

other couples?<br />

CANDICE: Learn everything you<br />

can about your partner. That<br />

way you know the cues to look<br />

for in different situations. Learn<br />

their love language and support<br />

them unconditionally.<br />

JUSTINE: Cheer each other on,<br />

go on adventures, make lots of<br />

memories, and love each other<br />

unconditionally.<br />

CultureTrip<br />

Must-See Heritage Sites<br />

by LINDA HOLDERNESS<br />

For perhaps 15,000<br />

years, Native Americans<br />

were the lone<br />

inhabitants between<br />

the Sacramento River<br />

and the Sierra Nevada.<br />

Then, echoing the title<br />

of J.S. Holliday’s book<br />

on the California Gold<br />

Rush, “the world rushed<br />

in.” Once the cries of<br />

“gold!” reverberated,<br />

fortune seekers from<br />

around the globe<br />

flocked to California,<br />

where the streets, it was<br />

rumored, were paved<br />

with the shiny metal.<br />

Most of the newcomers<br />

didn’t strike it rich, but<br />

Northern California<br />

did—in the diversity<br />

that still enriches<br />

our region. We’re all<br />

Americans now, but our<br />

communities have been<br />

shaped by the cultures<br />

and character of the<br />

assorted pioneers who<br />

came and stayed. You<br />

can meet some of these<br />

people and learn about<br />

their contributions<br />

and lifestyles at<br />

local museums and<br />

monuments that honor<br />

their past. Before you<br />

visit, check for Covidrelated<br />

updates.<br />

Folsom History<br />

Museum<br />

823 Sutter Street, Folsom, 916-985-<br />

2707, folsomhistoricalsociety.org<br />

Folsom’s history is a montage of<br />

cultures, from the Nisenan to the<br />

start of the Gold Rush, and one of<br />

the earliest mining camps founded<br />

by African Americans (Negro Bar<br />

State Park across Lake Natoma<br />

recognizes this site). The town<br />

later became home to significant<br />

populations of Chinese, Italian, and<br />

Portuguese people. The museum’s<br />

permanent exhibit, currently<br />

being updated, takes you through<br />

the city’s history via stories<br />

and vignettes enhanced with<br />

photographs, relics, and artifacts.<br />

The rotating exhibit area features<br />

vintage toys and is home to an<br />

annual antique quilt show. Future<br />

plans include a Chinese Heritage<br />

Museum in the home of a Chinese<br />

pioneer to tell the story of Folsom’s<br />

19th-century Chinese community,<br />

California’s second largest at the<br />

time; Chung Wah Cemetery on<br />

Forrest Street also honors these<br />

Chinese pioneers.<br />

Rocklin History Museum<br />

3895 Rocklin Road, Rocklin, 916-624-3464, rocklinhistorical.org<br />

Two prominent features of Rocklin’s history are its influx of<br />

Finnish settlers and its renowned, blemish-free granite. Beginning<br />

in the late 1800s, Finns owned and operated several quarries here,<br />

supplying granite to the State Capitol and Sacramento courthouse<br />

and to help rebuild San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake.<br />

Finnish history is also recalled at sites like the Old Finnish<br />

Picnic Grounds, the Finnish Temperance Hall, and Quarry Park<br />

Adventures.<br />

Maidu Museum & Historic Site<br />

1970 Johnson Ranch Drive, Roseville, 916-774-5934, roseville.<br />

ca.us (select “Residents/Maidu Museum”)<br />

Before gold seekers found California, this region was home<br />

to the peaceful Nisenan people, who thrived for millennia as<br />

hunters, gatherers, and fishermen along the American River.<br />

The museum honoring them sits on the site of a one-time<br />

Nisenan village. Inside, colorful displays and artifacts introduce<br />

visitors to the lifestyle of these ingenious people. Outside, you<br />

can walk in their footsteps past hundreds of grinding rocks,<br />

4,000-year-old petroglyphs, and native plants and animals.<br />

Coming attractions include a seedball craft (<strong>February</strong> 12) and<br />

kids’ nature photography class (March 26).<br />

Learning Center<br />

1125 Joe Murer Court, Folsom,<br />

916-413-9231, murerhouse.org<br />

Italian native Giuseppe (Joe)<br />

Murer brought the culture<br />

of his homeland to Folsom<br />

early in the last century. His<br />

Italianate home, set among<br />

fruit and nut trees, a grape<br />

arbor, and other native Italian<br />

plants, offers Italian language,<br />

art, culture, and cooking<br />

classes; bocce ball courts;<br />

and occasional special<br />

Wakamatsu Farm<br />

941 Cold Springs Road, Placerville, 530-621-1224, arcconservancy.<br />

org/wakamatsu<br />

Known from 1869-1871 as the Wakamatsu Tea and Silk Farm<br />

Colony, the site was the first Japanese colony in the U.S. and<br />

the only silk and tea colony. The first Japanese American<br />

citizen was born here, and the first Japanese person to die<br />

on American soil is buried here. The original farmhouse is<br />

restored and shaded by a huge Japanese elm the colonists<br />

brought as a sapling. The farm’s 272 acres feature gardens, a<br />

native plant nursery, and a traditional Japanese tea house.<br />

Operating under the American River Conservancy, the grounds<br />

are open to the public for interpretive and relaxing Farm Days<br />

the first and third Saturdays of April, May, June, September,<br />

October, and November and for private tours; check their<br />

dedicated in 2013, features plaques and a larger-than-life statue.<br />

Together Forever<br />

5 TIPS FOR LONG-LASTING LOVE<br />

by MEGAN WISKUS<br />

Relationships aren’t easy. And<br />

as time ticks on and stress<br />

creeps in, the flame starts to<br />

fade. Luckily, knowing that<br />

every couple is essentially<br />

in the same unsteady boat<br />

can help “normalize” your<br />

own relationship moving from<br />

passionate to compassionate.<br />

But just because you’ve been<br />

together forever doesn’t mean<br />

the spark has to totally burn<br />

out. Here are some easy ways to<br />

bring a little bit of sexy back.<br />

COMMUNICATION IS KEY<br />

It may sound cliché but communicating and listening<br />

really are imperative to keeping the spark alive in longterm<br />

romantic relationships. Therese Sorrentino, LMFT<br />

(theresesorrentinomft.com), suggests checking in with<br />

your partner every day, even if it’s only for 20 minutes,<br />

using a soft approach. “People respond to body language<br />

and tone of voice before they hear the words. The way<br />

you first approach each other will determine how the<br />

conversation will go and whether it will be constructive,”<br />

she says. Wondering what to talk about? Jessica<br />

Osterday, trauma-informed life coach and brainspotting<br />

practitioner (jessicaosterday.com), recommends open<br />

conversations about what little actions or connections<br />

you both miss from the early days of dating. Talk about<br />

how you each like to give and receive love and affection—<br />

and how you can create that together—or discuss new<br />

things to try in the bedroom that seem exciting to you.<br />

According to Ashlee Janzen, LMFT (ashleejanzenlmft.<br />

com), couples should also be communicating what their<br />

unmet needs are, which can oftentimes be the root of<br />

many relationship problems. “This can look like not<br />

spending enough time with your partner or feeling like<br />

you need more help around the house. Checking in with<br />

one another allows you to explore and share what these<br />

desires are,” Janzen shares.<br />

effort every day. “Even a little bit pays<br />

off, and your significant other may<br />

start to reciprocate in kind,” she says.<br />

“Focus on your partner’s love language<br />

and think about what they really like or<br />

want. It doesn’t have to be big, so long as<br />

you show you put some thought into it.<br />

Write a nice note about the things you<br />

like about them, surprise them with<br />

a household chore they usually do,<br />

or simply give a sincere compliment.”<br />

Sorrentino agrees that rewinding to the<br />

honeymoon stage of your relationship<br />

is key. “Get back to doing what you did<br />

when you were first dating—romantic,<br />

thoughtful gestures and giving your<br />

partner at least one compliment or<br />

appreciation a day,” she says.<br />

LET’S GET PHYSICAL<br />

Even though sex in a long-term<br />

partnership isn’t going to be as<br />

passionate as the early days, it’s still<br />

important to “do it.” Says Sorrentino:<br />

“Don't let too much time go by without<br />

being physically intimate. It's hard<br />

to bring it back if you let the fire<br />

completely burn out.” Even if you must<br />

plan it, having sex should be a priority,<br />

Osterday shares. If you’re struggling to<br />

get in the mood, she suggests kissing,<br />

as it’s important and often the first<br />

thing to go; being precious and playful;<br />

and locking eyes with each other.<br />

“The right kind of eye contact often<br />

exits when we’re fighting or we feel<br />

frustrated and unheard. Eye contact is a<br />

sign that you’re here, you care, you have<br />

your partner’s attention, and you want<br />

them,” Osterday says.<br />

MAKE A DATE<br />

Between work, household chores, and<br />

parental duties, date night is probably<br />

not at the top of your relationship todo<br />

list. But, according to the experts,<br />

regular, one-on-one time together—<br />

without the kids—shouldn’t be a luxury<br />

but rather a necessity. Sorrentino says<br />

couples should go on “at least two dates<br />

a month and have each partner plan<br />

one of the dates for the other.” Another<br />

must when you’re on a date? “Don't<br />

discuss problems…just have fun with<br />

each other!”<br />

IT’S OK TO SEEK SUPPORT<br />

Even the most doting couples who<br />

appear happy and in love hit rough<br />

patches. “When you find yourself<br />

struggling in your own relationship<br />

and having conversations without<br />

tension and sharp words is challenging,<br />

seeking professional help can be a<br />

wonderful tool. It’s beneficial to have<br />

another person available to help you<br />

understand your patterns and make<br />

any adjustments to enhance your<br />

relationship,” says Janzen.<br />

Take a Hike<br />

LOCATED IN:<br />

Winters.<br />

DISTANCE:<br />

5.1-mile loop.<br />

DIFFICULTY LEVEL:<br />

Hard; heavily trafficked.<br />

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:<br />

This hike will get your<br />

heart pumping, thanks to<br />

a steep incline and little<br />

shade, so bring extra<br />

water, wear shoes with<br />

traction, and protect<br />

yourself from the sun. If<br />

you feel up for it, add 2.75<br />

miles by taking Annie’s<br />

Loop at the junction. UC<br />

Davis recently restored<br />

the trail, so remember<br />

to leave no trace (pack<br />

in and pack out all your<br />

trash and belongings)<br />

and contribute $3 at the<br />

Protect<br />

Your<br />

Skin<br />

I’ve spent a lot<br />

of time outside<br />

and one thing is<br />

certain: The sun,<br />

no matter the<br />

month, will scorch<br />

your skin. Even<br />

over time without<br />

harsh sunburns,<br />

it’ll have an impact<br />

on your health.<br />

Here are a few<br />

things you can do<br />

to help.<br />

Use sunscreen<br />

(SPF 50+). This<br />

one is obvious;<br />

no explanation<br />

needed.<br />

WHY WE LOVE IT:<br />

Overlooking Lake<br />

Berryessa, this hike<br />

provides a solid workout,<br />

beautiful views, and is just<br />

far enough away to really<br />

disconnect from the dayto-day<br />

grind.<br />

FUEL UP:<br />

After cooling off, head to<br />

Preserve (preservewinters.<br />

com) for brunch (served<br />

Sundays from 10:30<br />

a.m.-2:30 p.m.), lunch,<br />

or dinner and cocktails.<br />

Largely considered the<br />

best restaurant in Winters,<br />

they serve an assortment<br />

of handcrafted, lovingly<br />

made New American<br />

bites—from burgers to<br />

charred Spanish octopus<br />

and a rib eye for two.<br />

Closed Mondays and<br />

Tuesdays.<br />

2R offers individual music<br />

lessons on a variety of<br />

instruments, as well as voice<br />

lessons. At B2R, we teach music<br />

theory by employing both traditional<br />

and innovative techniques to help<br />

kids develop their music skills.<br />

Individual music lessons are just a<br />

part of our comprehensive music<br />

program.<br />

Playing in a band and participating in<br />

jam sessions are also key components<br />

of our curriculum and music program.<br />

When students have achieved basic<br />

skills with an instrument, they are<br />

eligible to join a band — and we<br />

encourage them to do so. We match<br />

the playing level of the student with<br />

the appropriate band. Our students<br />

also have access to a professional<br />

recording studio at every site.<br />

tarting with a single learning Center in<br />

Westwood, California, the Mathnasium<br />

method has spread to 1000 centers<br />

nationwide, including 10 centers in and around<br />

Sacramento. So when you enroll your child in your<br />

local Mathnasium, you are part of a nationwide<br />

movement towards excellence in math for everyone!<br />

We teach basic math facts through first-year calculus<br />

in a friendly, fun environment where students<br />

earn prizes for working hard. An initial assessment<br />

determines exactly what a student knows about<br />

math and generates a detailed curriculum which<br />

can advance the student one grade level in just 10<br />

weeks, at less than $10 per hour. All the student<br />

needs to do is show up (that’s on you, parents!) and<br />

try. We take care of the rest.<br />

Students don’t really hate math; what they hate is<br />

feeling left behind. Enrollment in Mathnasium can<br />

change all that, because when students succeed<br />

in math, their confidence soars! Parents are<br />

always surprised when their students beg to go to<br />

Mathnasium because it’s “fun”! So give your child a<br />

chance and enroll today at the Mathnasium Center<br />

nearest you!<br />

ASK THE<br />

EXPERT<br />

by EMILY PETER-COREY<br />

Q: WHAT IS A CONTACT<br />

LENS EXAM?<br />

A: If you wear or want<br />

contacts, you'll need a<br />

contact lens exam, in addition<br />

to a comprehensive eye<br />

exam, where your eye doctor<br />

will perform special tests<br />

to evaluate your vision with<br />

contacts. The first test will<br />

measure your eye surface<br />

and determine what size and<br />

type of contacts are best for<br />

you. Your doctor may also do<br />

a tear film evaluation to make<br />

sure you have enough tears<br />

to comfortably wear contacts.<br />

This exam ensures the lenses<br />

are fitting both eyes properly<br />

and that the health of the<br />

eyes is not harmed by the<br />

contact lenses.<br />

Eco-Friendly<br />

Bedroom Basics<br />

by BELLA NOLAN<br />

W<br />

e put great care and concern<br />

into the products we use on<br />

our skin and hair—not to<br />

mention the foods we eat—<br />

but what about our bedroom?<br />

Considering we spend a third of our<br />

lives sleeping, shouldn’t we give our<br />

bodies the same care at night that we<br />

do during the day? “Toxins and<br />

carcinogens have become ubiquitous<br />

in our everyday environment. [However,<br />

we can limit] our exposure to these<br />

chemicals,” says Chip Huckaby from<br />

European Sleep Design (sleepdesign.com).<br />

Changing how we furnish our bedroom<br />

can improve our quality of sleep and give<br />

our planet a little boost, too!<br />

“Quality sleep is the key to a healthy<br />

life,” says Brandy Alvis from Sage Sleep<br />

Organics (sagesleeporganics.com).<br />

Going green in the bedroom is great<br />

for overall health, hygiene, and the<br />

environment. When we sleep, our body<br />

works hard to detox. Our livers and<br />

guts come to life, and our pores begin<br />

to open. This also means we’re pulling<br />

things into our body, so it’s important<br />

to think about what’s touching our<br />

skin. In other words, when materials<br />

and products touch us for hours, our<br />

system absorbs them. According to<br />

Huckaby, many manufacturers tend to<br />

use harmful ingredients wrapped in<br />

synthetic fibers, which are then treated<br />

with flame-retardant chemicals—<br />

ingredients that oxidize and become<br />

the unhealthy dust that we breathe<br />

in for 7-8 hours every night. So,<br />

remember: The right pillow and some<br />

sheets can be just as much a part of<br />

self-care as a face mask or spa day!<br />

Pillow photos courtesy of Sage Sleep Organics and taken by Permanent Glimpse Photography.<br />

When thinking about making ecofriendly<br />

choices in the bedroom, a<br />

great place to start is with a mattress.<br />

Since landfills are often filled with<br />

plastic from them, switching to natural<br />

materials (think natural latex foam,<br />

organic cotton, and merino wool) help<br />

reduce our carbon footprint. Huckaby<br />

explains that wool acts as a natural fire<br />

barrier and reduces the number of<br />

harsh chemicals we come into contact<br />

with at night. Another benefit from<br />

switching over to an organic mattress?<br />

The ingredients are renewable,<br />

biodegradable, and last longer than<br />

synthetic materials, so we’re taking<br />

care of ourselves, the planet, and<br />

making a solid financial investment!<br />

Huckaby suggests that people looking<br />

to decorate their bedroom opt for<br />

“American-made, solid hardwood<br />

furniture that has a Greenguard and<br />

FCS certification.”<br />

If looking to pick and choose, swapping<br />

out bedding is a good place to start,<br />

advises Alvis. Sleeping in breathable,<br />

natural fibers helps with temperature<br />

control, uninterrupted rest, and are<br />

more hygienic than synthetic fibers<br />

that trap moistures. Not only will<br />

your skin benefit, but so will the<br />

environment! And should organic<br />

sheets or mattresses end up in a<br />

landfill, they will disintegrate and go<br />

back to the earth in which they came,<br />

explains Alvis. It’s a win-win! Alvis<br />

recommends Sage Sleep’s side sleeper<br />

pillow, which can be used in any<br />

sleeping position, or any of their other<br />

customizable, 100% natural, and longlasting<br />

pillows.<br />

Alvis also encourages consumers to<br />

think about “good, all-natural fiber<br />

sheets, [which] are a tremendous<br />

investment” but well worth it. Take<br />

a moment to assess yours. Are they<br />

cotton or made of natural materials?<br />

“Conventional cotton accounts for 25%<br />

of all pesticides used worldwide,” says<br />

Ashley Angello, public relations and<br />

communications consultant at Coyuchi<br />

(coyuchi.com) whose eco-friendly<br />

products begin with 100% organic<br />

fibers and are sold at various retailers<br />

throughout the region. Angello<br />

recommends the brand’s signature<br />

sheets, 300-thread count percale,<br />

which have a crisp and cool feel, or<br />

their super soft relaxed sateen sheets.<br />

Both are made to last, which keeps<br />

them out of landfills and are especially<br />

eco-friendly, “since they’re made using<br />

[entirely] organic materials, which<br />

supports soil health and by extension, a<br />

healthy planet.”<br />

CHINESE<br />

Eight major schools of<br />

Chinese cuisine exist—<br />

dating back thousands of<br />

years—that have led to the<br />

development of unique foods<br />

from every corner of China.<br />

They include Anhui (earthy,<br />

slightly sweet), Sichuan (spicy,<br />

mouth-numbing), Hunan<br />

(spicy, sour), Shandong (salty,<br />

crispy), Jiangsu (moderately<br />

sweet and salty), Zhejiang<br />

(mellow, fresh), Fujian (light,<br />

fresh), and Cantonese<br />

(mild, sweetish). Which food<br />

adventure will you choose?<br />

KEY FLAVORS: Light and dark<br />

soy sauce, oyster and hoisin<br />

sauce, Sichuan peppercorns,<br />

white rice vinegar, fermented<br />

black beans, egg noodles,<br />

ginger, garlic, green onions<br />

Sweet & Sour Pork<br />

The late renowned chef from Hong Kong,<br />

Leung King, concocted this sweet and<br />

sour sauce recipe: white rice vinegar,<br />

salt, Chinese brown candy, ketchup,<br />

Worcestershire sauce, and dark soy<br />

sauce. This basically serves as the basis<br />

of the beloved Chinese dish we know and<br />

love today. Hop Sing Palace serves<br />

up deep-fried pieces of pork stirred into<br />

their own tangy yet tantalizing sauce<br />

accompanied by sweet chunks of tender<br />

pineapple. Crispy, juicy, tender, and saucy,<br />

this dish checks all the right boxes. 805<br />

its respective restaurant.<br />

Peking Duck<br />

Originally a dish from Beijing,<br />

Peking duck has been prepared<br />

since the Imperial Era—that’s<br />

the same period as the<br />

Roman empire, for context.<br />

Characterized by thin, crispy<br />

skin on juicy slices of meat and<br />

typically served with a plum<br />

sauce and thin pancakes, the<br />

dish has all the makings of a<br />

royal feast. The rendition at<br />

Fortune Garden Chinese<br />

Restaurant boasts boneless<br />

poultry served with hoisin sauce<br />

and soft buns, leading to an<br />

authentic food adventure that<br />

won’t be forgotten any time soon.<br />

899 Embarcadero Drive, Suite 4,<br />

El Dorado Hills, 916-933-0998,<br />

fortunegardenonline.com<br />

Chicken Chow Mein<br />

A universal crowd pleaser, you really<br />

can’t go wrong with chow mein no<br />

matter which part of the world you’re<br />

in. From India to the UK, you can always<br />

expect noodles that are stir-fried<br />

and tossed in soy sauce, veggies,<br />

and your meat of choice. Folsom<br />

Palace makes a pretty mean chicken<br />

chow mein that consists of perfectly<br />

seasoned al dente noodles combined<br />

with an abundance of veggies (red and<br />

white cabbage, green onions, carrots)<br />

and said meat to form a heaping pile of<br />

satisfaction. 1169 Riley Street, Folsom<br />

Street, 916-983-8880; 3941 Park Drive,<br />

Suite 10, El Dorado Hills, 916-936-0808,<br />

folsompalace.com<br />

Kung Pao Chicken<br />

Who doesn’t love Kung Pao? Spicy, stirfried<br />

cubes of chicken, crunchy peanuts,<br />

fresh veg, and chili peppers (or Sichuan<br />

peppercorns) are probably the best thing<br />

to come out of the Sichuan Provence in<br />

China. Sunny Garden Restaurant<br />

always comes through with their kung<br />

pao chicken, served with bell peppers,<br />

zucchini, lots of peanuts, and a sauce to<br />

beat all other sauces. 25085 Blue Ravine<br />

Road, Suite 150, Folsom, 916-983-8882,<br />

sunnygardentogo.com<br />

Dim Sum<br />

Good things indeed come in small packages especially<br />

when it comes to dim sum—originally a snack of small food<br />

items meant to be had with tea. With over a thousand dim<br />

sum dishes in existence today it’s easy to get lost in all the<br />

amazing variety (think: pork belly, chili lamb, seafood) our<br />

region affords us. But one we keep going back to is Fat’s<br />

Asia Bistro’s dim sum basket. Dig into shrimp, pork shu<br />

mei, and chicken pot stickers served hot and steaming in<br />

a dainty basket to make your dim sum dreams come true.<br />

FEBRUARY <strong>2022</strong> | stylemg.com 73


Mapo Tofu with Pork<br />

Another Sichuan favorite is mapo<br />

tofu—a spicy dish that’s anything<br />

but boring. The version at Rice<br />

Express features silken, soft tofu<br />

and minced pork alongside ginger,<br />

garlic, green onions, and a housemade<br />

special sauce that’s bright and<br />

bold in flavor. This is the perfect plate<br />

if you’re looking for an entrée that’s<br />

fiery and protein packed. 25004 Blue<br />

Ravine Road, Folsom, 916-353-1934,<br />

Mongolian Beef<br />

A hearty but simple dish,<br />

Mongolian beef is thin, tender<br />

slices of flank steak wok-fried<br />

with onions, scallions, and<br />

sometimes veggies. Paired<br />

with steamed rice, it can be as<br />

wholesome as it is delicious.<br />

If this is your favorite dish<br />

and you’d want nothing more<br />

than to eat it for breakfast,<br />

lunch, and dinner, then we<br />

recommend Iron Wok to get<br />

your fix. They have gigantic<br />

servings of it that will leave<br />

you satiated and smiling all<br />

day long. 541 Main Street,<br />

Placerville, 530-903-3358<br />

Egg Foo Young<br />

If you’ve never had<br />

egg foo young, you’re<br />

missing out! This soft,<br />

savory Cantonese<br />

omelet dish is served in<br />

a sweet and sour sauce,<br />

oftentimes with small<br />

veggies. China City<br />

Chinese Restaurant<br />

takes some time to<br />

prepare this delicate<br />

dish (so arrive early and<br />

bring your appetite)<br />

but it’s well worth the<br />

wait. Choose from veg,<br />

shrimp, chicken, BBQ<br />

pork or the house egg<br />

foo young and have<br />

yourself a delightful<br />

dinner (and breakfast;<br />

thereafter!). 4100<br />

Cameron Park Drive,<br />

Suite 114, Cameron Park,<br />

530-672-9888<br />

Comprised of the five major<br />

tastes—sweet, sour, salty,<br />

creamy, and hot—Thai food<br />

is a complex cuisine that<br />

sparkles with personality.<br />

Traditionally, it loosely falls<br />

into four categories: tom<br />

(boiled dishes), yam (spicy<br />

salads), tam (pounded foods),<br />

and gaeng (curries). Meals<br />

are typically centered around<br />

a big bowl of sweet-smelling,<br />

long-graine jasmine rice with a<br />

THAI<br />

Wonton Soup<br />

Despite its simplicity, it’s hard to get<br />

wonton soup right—no one really wants<br />

salt water with a single, sad, hollow<br />

dumpling, do they? So, when you find<br />

a place that has perfected the recipe<br />

you keep going back for more—as is<br />

the case with Hong Kong Inn. Their<br />

house wonton soup is packed with<br />

veggies, pork, chicken, and shrimp in<br />

the most flavorful, fragrant clear broth.<br />

Funny how something so simple can<br />

be so divine. 2851 Ray Lawyer Drive,<br />

Placerville, 530-622-8888<br />

bevy of complementary dishes<br />

enjoyed family-style. Another<br />

need-to-note feature? It’s one<br />

of the few Asian cuisines where<br />

you can specify your desired<br />

heat level; just remember: One<br />

chef’s mild is another one’s<br />

medium!<br />

KEY FLAVORS: Galangal<br />

(Thai ginger), lemongrass,<br />

Thai basil, fish sauce, tamarind,<br />

coconut milk, limes, chili<br />

peppers, garlic, palm sugar<br />

Tom Yum<br />

This complexly flavored Thai soups<br />

two core flavors are sour (from lime<br />

leaves, lime juice, and lemongrass)<br />

and spicy (from red chilies and<br />

galangal). Blended with fish sauce<br />

and chicken stock, it's one of the<br />

more popular picks at Pinto Thai<br />

Bistro. What other treasures will<br />

you find tucked into the beloved<br />

broth? Fresh tomatoes, white<br />

mushrooms, white onions, cilantro,<br />

scallions, and shrimp or chicken.<br />

9700 Fairway Drive, Suite 100,<br />

Roseville, 916-780-1500<br />

Pad Thai<br />

Probably the most widely<br />

known of all the Thai dishes,<br />

this approachable entrée<br />

(commonly consumed as<br />

street food in Thailand) is<br />

ideal for anyone unfamiliar,<br />

or apprehensive, about the<br />

cuisine. Though most versions<br />

are somewhat similar and<br />

straightforward, the offering<br />

at Folsom Thai Cuisine<br />

comes complete with stirfried<br />

rice noodles, scrambled<br />

eggs, scallions, and tofu in<br />

a homemade sauce that<br />

simmers for up to six hours.<br />

The ample portion (hello,<br />

leftovers!) is topped with<br />

fresh bean sprouts, ground<br />

peanuts, and lime wedges for<br />

an extra element of crunch<br />

and tanginess. Not too sweet<br />

and not too spicy, it’s an<br />

enjoyable, palate-pleasing<br />

entrée for all. 2371 Iron Point<br />

Road, Suite 100, Folsom,<br />

916-983-9000, folsomthaicuisine.com<br />

Larb<br />

Fresh mint leaves, red and green onions, cilantro,<br />

and your choice of protein (ground pork, beef,<br />

chicken, or tofu) is hand tossed with chili flakes,<br />

lime juice, fish sauce, and rice powder in this<br />

refreshingly tangy meat salad with contrasting<br />

textures. Hailing from Northeast Thailand—where<br />

the owner and chef of My Thai Kitchen,<br />

Lamyai “Joy” Palmer, is from—it’s one of the<br />

restaurant’s signature dishes and is a true<br />

reflection of Palmer’s background and culinary<br />

experience. Served with sticky rice, it can be<br />

made mild or spicy and is sure to become a new<br />

Thai food favorite. 1465 Eureka Road, Suite 140,<br />

Pad Kee Mao<br />

(Drunken Noodles)<br />

Fans of spice will want to give the<br />

Pad Kee Mao, aka Drunken Noodles,<br />

a try at Thai Paradise. Chilies<br />

and jalapeños give the dish its<br />

main fiery taste, while garlic, basil,<br />

veggies (green beans, onions, snow<br />

peas, red bell peppers, and bean<br />

sprouts), and a touch of sugar<br />

help cool the palate. Pan-fried<br />

with chewy flat rice noodles, this<br />

quintessential, well-loved entrée<br />

will leave you drunk in love and is<br />

best served alongside an ice-cold<br />

Singha. 2770 East Bidwell Street,<br />

Som Tum (Green<br />

Papaya Salad)<br />

Som Tum is an under-the-radar<br />

sweet and notoriously spicy<br />

green papaya salad that’s also<br />

popular in Laos cooking. At<br />

Ruen Thai Restaurant,<br />

the colorful dish comes with<br />

an abundance of fresh Thai<br />

chilies balanced by palm sugar,<br />

garlic, fish sauce, roasted then<br />

crushed peanuts, lime juice,<br />

cherry tomatoes, shredded<br />

green papaya, green beans,<br />

and carrots. The final product<br />

is a dish that’s simultaneously<br />

salty, sweet, spicy, sour, and<br />

bitter—all the flavors that<br />

define Thai cuisine. A quick note<br />

about those chilies: They’re<br />

atomic, so unless your palate is<br />

accustomed to real Thai spice,<br />

order accordingly. 1470 Eureka<br />

Pineapple Fried Rice<br />

Fried rice is always a favorite, but<br />

have you experienced pineapple<br />

fried rice? At The River Thai<br />

Cuisine, the crowd-pleasing plate<br />

not only comes with the juicy fruit<br />

but also eggs, white onions, scallions,<br />

tomatoes, carrots, and crunchy<br />

cashews—all stir-fried with jasmine<br />

rice, your choice of protein (chicken,<br />

pork, prawns, or crab meat), mild<br />

yellow curry powder, and the<br />

restaurant’s signature sauce. Equally<br />

savory and sweet, it’s what you<br />

should order if you’re curious about<br />

Thai cuisine but scared of spice. 424<br />

East Bidwell Street, Folsom, 916-983-<br />

Red Curry<br />

When it comes to Thai curries, you<br />

literally have a rainbow of flavors,<br />

and colors, to pick from (green,<br />

yellow, and red). The latter is a fiery<br />

favorite, especially at Thai Basil,<br />

and for good reason. Tender sliced<br />

chicken breast is simmered with<br />

bamboo shoots, bell peppers, and<br />

Thai basil in a slightly sweet, slightly<br />

spicy, and just salty enough coconut<br />

milk red curry—comprised of chili<br />

peppers, garlic, cumin, coriander,<br />

lemongrass, shallots, galangal,<br />

shrimp paste, kaffir lime zest,<br />

and salt. Ladled over a mountain<br />

of jasmine rice, it’s Thai comfort<br />

food at its finest. 1613 Douglas<br />

Chicken Khao Soi<br />

This Northern Thai-inspired dish is<br />

chock-full of flavors and textures—<br />

thanks to both steamed, springy egg<br />

noodles and crispy egg noodles, fried<br />

onions, fresh ginger, coconut milk,<br />

broccoli, your choice of protein, and<br />

rich but relatively mild massaman<br />

curry paste. Though rarely seen on<br />

menus around our region, you can<br />

snag a bowl—a really good one (!)—<br />

at Thai Unique. To quote Andy<br />

Ricker—American chef, restaurateur,<br />

and cookery writer, known for his<br />

skill and expertise in Northern Thai<br />

cuisine—it’s “exotic without being<br />

weird and, most important, completely<br />

delicious.” 1160 Broadway, Placerville,<br />

KOREAN<br />

Largely based on rice, vegetables, seafood, tofu, beef, and pork,<br />

Korean food covers everything from royal court cuisine recipes<br />

to modern-day fusion. Items like kimchi, bibimbap, and bulgogi<br />

have taken the culinary world by storm recently but there are<br />

even more, intriguing delicacies like Korean fried chicken, Korean<br />

stew, and red rice cakes that are waiting to be explored.<br />

KEY FLAVORS: Hot pepper paste, toasted sesame oil,<br />

fermented soybean paste, ginger, garlic, Korean fish sauce<br />

Tang Nyum Chicken<br />

Korean fried chicken is where it’s at! Tang nyum is traditional Korean fried chicken<br />

that’s doused in a sweet and spicy sauce of gochujang (red chili paste), garlic, sugar,<br />

and other spices, making this Korean “fast food” unlike any other iteration of fried<br />

chicken. Ttobongee Chicken’s version is mildly spicy, always crispy, and sinfully<br />

good. Don’t forget to try their other fried chicken dishes, too! *2791 East Bidwell<br />

Bibimbap<br />

You’ve probably heard<br />

veggies, meat, chili<br />

sauce, and fried egg,<br />

rice” is a feast for the<br />

eyes and the palate, and<br />

Teriyaki Town makes<br />

a must-have mouthful<br />

with their bibimbap of<br />

beef, assorted vegetables<br />

(bean sprouts, carrots,<br />

Japchae<br />

One of Korea’s most beloved dishes,<br />

japchae (which translates to “mixed<br />

vegetables” and is typically served<br />

as a side dish) features chewy,<br />

sweet, and slightly slippery sweet<br />

potato glass noodles stir-fried with<br />

a bounty of colorful vegetables and<br />

well-seasoned meat. The creation<br />

Beef Bulgogi<br />

Bulgogi literally means<br />

“fiery meat” and is made of<br />

marinated slices of meat grilled<br />

on a barbecue or griddle.<br />

Slightly charred yet packed<br />

with flavor, this barbecue<br />

meat is a great introduction<br />

to Korean cuisine. Gangnam<br />

Ave. Korean BBQ is an<br />

all-you-can-eat barbecue<br />

restaurant (choose from course<br />

A or B) with some exceptional<br />

bulgogi. Aside from beef, you<br />

can also get pork, chicken, and<br />

baby octopus. You can even<br />

order each of these bulgogi<br />

dishes “with spice” taking an<br />

already perfect dish to the next<br />

level. 2216 Sunrise Boulevard,<br />

Rancho Cordova, 916-840-<br />

Fresh ingredients, minimal<br />

dairy and oil, unique textures,<br />

and the use of fresh herbs and<br />

vegetables make Vietnamese<br />

cuisine a healthy (it’s low in<br />

sugar and almost always<br />

gluten-free), hearty, and<br />

mainstream cuisine. Wellbalanced<br />

with aromatics, heat,<br />

Bún Thịt Nướng (Grilled Pork<br />

& Rice Noodles)<br />

This quintessential Southern Vietnam<br />

dish boasts fresh, fragrant herbs<br />

(mint, cilantro), pickled carrots and<br />

daikon, roasted peanuts, lettuce, and<br />

grilled pork marinated in lemongrass<br />

atop cold vermicelli noodles. At K.T.<br />

Noodles, the bowl comes complete<br />

with fried spring rolls and the standard<br />

“nước chấm” dipping sauce (commonly<br />

comprised of fish sauce, sugar, lime juice,<br />

and water). Protein-packed with tons of<br />

varying flavors and textures, it’s a musttry<br />

on your next visit to Vietnamese<br />

food. 3101 Sunset Boulevard, Suite 1B,<br />

Bánh Xèo (Vietnamese Crêpe)<br />

If you thought pancakes were always sweet and eaten at breakfast, then<br />

you’ve never experienced Bánh Xèo before. Essentially a savory, crispy,<br />

golden-brown crêpe made from a blend of rice flour, turmeric, and coconut<br />

cream, the offering at Pho Cali is filled with shrimp, pork, and bean sprouts.<br />

The hands-on starter is served alongside a big plate of mixed greens and<br />

herbs. To eat: Cut off a bite-sized piece and wrap it in a similarly sized piece of<br />

lettuce, add herbs, and spoon some of the accompanying dipping sauce on top.<br />

2209 Sunset Boulevard, Suite 903, Rocklin, 916-259-2086<br />

Gỏi Cuốn (Spring Rolls)<br />

It doesn’t have to be sunny and<br />

warm to enjoy a beloved spring<br />

roll. No matter the weather, this<br />

nutritious starter—a staple on most<br />

Vietnamese food menus—is always<br />

a wonderful way to kick off your<br />

meal. Made of rehydrated rice paper<br />

and filled with rice vermicelli, raw<br />

vegetables, and fresh herbs, with<br />

your pick of protein (at Pho Tahoe<br />

they feature BBQ pork and prawns),<br />

these tightly wrapped, roomtemperature<br />

rolls are best dipped<br />

in the accompanying peanut-based<br />

sauce. 6530 Pony Express Trail,<br />

Pollock Pines, 530-344-7924<br />

Bánh Mi<br />

A fusion of two<br />

cultures—Vietnamese<br />

and French—the first<br />

bánh mi was sold<br />

on the streets of<br />

Saigon. These days,<br />

the international<br />

sandwich sensation<br />

comes in myriad<br />

varieties (multiple<br />

types of proteins and<br />

condiments), but the<br />

version at Bo Urban<br />

Corner starts with<br />

an airy, crispy, Frenchstyle<br />

baguette (baked<br />

in-house then toasted)<br />

that’s topped with a<br />

creamy sauce, pickled<br />

carrots and jalapeños,<br />

cilantro, lettuce,<br />

tomatoes, onions, and<br />

your pick of protein<br />

(BBQ pork is always<br />

popular!). It’s a filling,<br />

affordable delight that<br />

can be eaten at all<br />

hours of the day. 704<br />

East Bidwell Street,<br />

Folsom, 916-790-8955<br />

Phở<br />

Considered Vietnam’s national dish,<br />

phở (pronounced “fuh”) is a delicate,<br />

delicious soup known for its hearty,<br />

nutrient-rich broth made by boiling<br />

beef bones for several hours alongside<br />

ginger, onions, and lots of aromatic<br />

spices (star anise, cardamom, fennel<br />

seeds, and cinnamon). At Pho Mimi,<br />

your bowl arrives piping hot with rice<br />

noodles, meat (the “Pho Mimi Special”—<br />

featuring thinly sliced strips of rare<br />

flank, fat brisket, tendon, tripe, and<br />

meatballs—is always a pho-vorite),<br />

white onions, green onions, and cilantro.<br />

Adjust the pho to your flavor preference<br />

by adding condiments like hoisin sauce,<br />

soy sauce, fish sauce, sriracha, and/<br />

or chili paste, in addition to garnishes<br />

like bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime/lemon<br />

wedges, and jalapeño slices. 25004 Blue<br />

JAPAN<br />

Traditional Japanese<br />

cuisine is based on rice<br />

with an emphasis on fresh,<br />

seasonal ingredients<br />

that translate to raw fish<br />

offerings like sushi and<br />

sashimi, flavorful broths,<br />

and deep-fried vegetables.<br />

Another characteristic of<br />

the cuisine is umami or<br />

savoriness—one of the<br />

five basic tastes (along<br />

with sweetness, sourness,<br />

saltiness, and bitterness).<br />

So, no matter the dish,<br />

you’re always assured of an<br />

elegant, pure, and visually<br />

stunning meal that sparks<br />

joy in more ways than one.<br />

KEY FLAVORS: Wasabi<br />

(Japanese horseradish),<br />

dashi (stock), ramen, miso<br />

(fermented soybean), soy<br />

sauce, rice wine, red bean<br />

Rainbow Roll<br />

Treat yourself to this elegant, colorful roll that’s the perfect amalgamation of East<br />

meets West (it’s really an embellished California roll) with a multitude of fish (think<br />

tuna, salmon, yellowtail, snapper, and eel) that make a pretty picture on the plate.<br />

Mikuni’s vibrant version “rolls” out imitation crab, tuna, salmon, yellowtail, avocado,<br />

masago (fish roe), and scallions for a happy bite of rainbows and sunshine. 1565<br />

Nigiri<br />

For sushi-lovers—and we<br />

know there are many of you<br />

here—there’s nothing better<br />

than fresh nigiri to kick off a<br />

Japanese meal. Small balls of<br />

rice smeared with wasabi sauce<br />

are topped with a variety of<br />

raw fish and seafood to form<br />

a sophisticated little package.<br />

Hisui Sushi’s nigiri mix allows<br />

you to taste the chef’s choice<br />

of 10 of the finest pieces of fish<br />

at any given time. This means<br />

you could hit the jackpot with<br />

exquisite hamachi (yellowtail),<br />

ika (squid), unagi (eel), or<br />

saba (mackerel). You’ll never<br />

know until you try. 25004 Blue<br />

Ramen<br />

Ramen is the famous Japanese<br />

noodle soup consisting of wheat<br />

noodles served in a meat or fishbased<br />

broth, often flavored with<br />

soy sauce or miso, with toppings<br />

like sliced pork, nori, and scallions.<br />

What makes ramen so alluring are<br />

the endless possibilities with all<br />

the different permutations and<br />

combinations. Aji Japanese<br />

Bistro has a modern take on<br />

Japanese fare, which translates to<br />

an innovative ramen offering. Their<br />

spicy chicken ramen is chock-full<br />

of grilled chicken, fresh sprouts<br />

and spinach, spicy kimchi, menma<br />

(lacto-fermented bamboo shoots),<br />

jalapeños, and crunchy garlic in a<br />

house-made spicy broth that’s to<br />

die for. 4361 Town Center Boulevard,<br />

Sushi & Sashimi<br />

If you’re stumped with the difference between sushi and<br />

sashimi here’s a little refresher: they both consist of raw fish,<br />

but sushi comes with rice and sashimi doesn’t. As you know,<br />

we’ve got an endless rolodex of rolls and fresh fish to choose<br />

from around here and you probably won’t get through the<br />

gamut of amazing sushi and sashimi within one lifetime. But<br />

you could get quite close with Taiko Sushi’s Sushi Fishing<br />

Boat that offers eight pieces of sashimi and three specialty<br />

rolls, offering a good start to your journey. 2700 East Bidwell<br />

Street, Suite 100, Folsom, 916-817-8525; 6241 Fair Oaks<br />

Boulevard, Carmichael, 916-333-5287, taikosushi.com<br />

Chirashi<br />

Chirashi means “scattered,” which is a good way<br />

to describe this dish of rice combined with half<br />

a dozen fish, veg, and other toppings of your<br />

choice. Sound familiar? That’s because it’s very<br />

similar to poke (Hawaiian dish of rice, fish, sauces,<br />

and toppings) minus the sweet sauces. This means<br />

that you get to taste all those fresh flavors of<br />

the sea without the distraction of oftentimes<br />

overpowering sauces. Tang’s Sushi promises—<br />

and delivers—a delectable chef’s special selection<br />

of sashimi over rice that’ll make chirashi your new<br />

favorite fish dish. 1426 Blue Oaks Boulevard, Suite<br />

100, Roseville, 916-781-0807, tangsushi.com<br />

Udon<br />

Udon is a hearty noodle if ever there was one. Thick and made<br />

from wheat flour, udon noodle soup can be a panacea for<br />

almost anything. Dunk your favorite protein in it and you’ve got<br />

a savory soup for the soul. Amerikan Ichi’s rendition offers<br />

said udon noodles, nourishing vegetables, and your choice<br />

of beef, chicken, or shrimp that swim blissfully in a flavorful<br />

Japanese broth. 1234 Broadway, Suite A, Placerville, 530-621-<br />

2100, amerikanichi.com<br />

Sukiyaki<br />

This Japanese hot pot of meat and veg falls under the comfort food<br />

category of Japanese cuisine. Meat is slow-cooked or simmered (usually<br />

at your table) alongside vegetables and other ingredients in a shallow<br />

iron pot in the always intoxicating mix of soy sauce, sugar, and mirin.<br />

Umi Sushi has mastered their sukiyaki broth with the perfect balance<br />

of sweet and salty (attaining the aforementioned “umami”) and doesn’t<br />

skimp on the filling ingredients of beef or chicken, tofu, yam noodles, and<br />

seasonal fresh veggies. 107 South Harding Boulevard, Suite A, Roseville,<br />

Teriyaki<br />

An absolute crowd-pleaser, teriyaki delights young and old alike. What’s not to<br />

like? Fish or meat is grilled and glazed in the most addictive sauce containing<br />

mirin and sugar. There are tons of teriyaki places to try in our region, so when<br />

you happen to come across one like Kazoku Teriyaki & More that gets it<br />

right each time, you make a beeline for it. Whether you try the sticky-sweet<br />

goodness in a bowl, bento box, or plate, you’re sure to be pleased, but it’s the<br />

Teriyaki Noodles that keep us coming back! 5131 Foothills Boulevard, Suite 1,<br />

Best<br />

Boba Tea<br />

If you haven’t jumped on<br />

the boba (aka, bubble tea)<br />

bandwagon yet, you’re<br />

missing out. The tea-based<br />

drink with Taiwanese origins<br />

can be made with milk or<br />

without and consists of tea<br />

(typically black, green, or<br />

oolong) and chewy tapioca<br />

balls ("boba" or "pearls"),<br />

which are slurped through<br />

oversized straws.<br />

Agedashi Tofu<br />

A subtle dish, agedashi tofu is made using<br />

firm tofu that’s coated with potato starch<br />

and deep-fried until golden-brown to create<br />

a crisp outer shell. It’s then served in a hot,<br />

light sauce made of dashi, mirin, and shoyu<br />

(Japanese soy sauce) to create a wellbalanced,<br />

exotic flavor profile that’s silky<br />

on the palate and easy on the eyes. Kobe<br />

Sushi & Fusion delivers all the above<br />

with their sauce on the side and a dusting<br />

of green onions, daikon radish, and bonito<br />

flakes (smoked skipjack tuna) for the ultimate<br />

appetizer. 3300 Coach Lane, Cameron Park,<br />

Lobster Roll<br />

There’s nothing more pleasing<br />

than sushi that allows its<br />

seafood to shine. This is the<br />

case with Mikasa Asian<br />

Fusion’s lobster roll—deluxe<br />

deep-fried lobster, chili, soy,<br />

spicy crab, seared asparagus,<br />

special sauces, and a searing<br />

on top. Did we mention you also<br />

get a large lobster shell as an<br />

accompaniment? It’s indulgent<br />

to say the least. Not to mention,<br />

totally satisfying for lobster lovers<br />

everywhere. 3000 Green Valley<br />

916-347-4331 // vanhulzenadvisors.com<br />

In my own life, I understand the emotions<br />

that come with uncertainty and an unknown<br />

road. Early in my career as a financial<br />

advisor, my wife and I were approached to<br />

be the future caregivers to my brother-in-law<br />

who has a learning disability. We agreed, but<br />

quickly learned we were not well prepared for<br />

the challenges that would come. This inspired me<br />

to pursue my true passion helping other families,<br />

like mine, understand their options. Knowing the<br />

busyness, concerns, and joys that are inherent to<br />

families with complex care needs, I can develop<br />

relationships on a more personal level.<br />

Early in the discovery process, I found a hole<br />

in traditional service models available to this<br />

community by asking parents a simple question.<br />

When’s the last time you went on a vacation<br />

without your child? Many looked at me with<br />

confusion, what do you mean? Parents are required<br />

to be so focused on the complex care needs of<br />

their loved one, they haven’t had an opportunity to<br />

care for themselves.<br />

So, we flipped the traditional model on its head by<br />

intentionally focusing on the parents first, rather<br />

than the child first. Our goal is to help parents<br />

recapture their own hopes AND dreams AND to<br />

remove the fear of an unknown future caregiver.<br />

This works beautifully because to help parents<br />

achieve their goals, we must also solve for the<br />

child’s complex care needs as well. By putting the<br />

parents first, we are ensuring the parents lives and<br />

wellbeing are participants in the family plan, rather<br />

than neglected bystanders.<br />

We’ve solved this complex problem through our<br />

own GONE transition planning and financial planning<br />

services to allow parents to dream dreams they’ve<br />

not had in years.<br />

For those ready, my first question to you is, where<br />

do you want to vacation to?<br />

| eat & drink | Dining Out<br />

Restaurant Josephine<br />

by RYAN MARTINEZ | photos by TAYLOR GILLESPIE<br />

Acrowd of<br />

people lined<br />

the sidewalk<br />

at the<br />

entrance of an<br />

unsuspecting<br />

brick building at 1226<br />

Lincoln Way in Auburn…<br />

eager to secure a spot at<br />

the bar since reservations<br />

had filled. Soon enough,<br />

at exactly 5 p.m., we were<br />

greeted into Restaurant<br />

Josephine.<br />

The ambiance is a<br />

cross between the Gold<br />

Rush Era and mid-century<br />

France—raw brick<br />

revealing itself through<br />

fleur-de-lis wallpaper,<br />

romantic lighting, emerald<br />

velvet booths, and granite<br />

tabletops. Think Parisian<br />

fashion atop a historic<br />

soul.<br />

The co-owner and<br />

pastry chef, Courtney<br />

McDonald, kindly showed<br />

my plus one and me in.<br />

Slipping us in at a table<br />

directly in front of the<br />

open kitchen, we could<br />

see her husband and<br />

head chef, Eric Alexander,<br />

masterfully work.<br />

We started with our<br />

server’s recommendation:<br />

creamy mushroom toast.<br />

The texture from four<br />

different mushroom<br />

varieties alongside the<br />

crunch of the toast, sherry<br />

cream sauce, and melted<br />

warmth of the farmraised<br />

cheese was simply<br />

beautiful.<br />

Chef Alexander’s<br />

Niman Ranch Pork Chop<br />

Charred Brussells Sprouts<br />

"Iron" Half<br />

Chicken<br />

training at the Culinary Institute of<br />

America (where the couple met and<br />

both graduated) and his 13 years as<br />

head chef at Carpe Vino truly shined<br />

with the entrées, boasting seasonal,<br />

locally sourced ingredients with<br />

French flair and Eastern European<br />

accents.<br />

First, the grilled Niman Ranch pork<br />

chop. Perfectly cooked with a juicy,<br />

pink center and slightly charred and<br />

smoky exterior—then served alongside<br />

an apple, bacon, prune, celery, and<br />

walnut relish and creamed cabbage—it<br />

was one of the best cuts of meat I’ve<br />

ever eaten. The sweetness of the apple<br />

paired with the saltiness of the bacon<br />

and delicate texture of the pork could<br />

only be made more perfect by the<br />

slightly tangy notes of the relish and<br />

velvety cabbage.<br />

The crispy “iron” half chicken was<br />

a pleasant contrast to the pork chop.<br />

Its slightly smoky yet delicate flavor<br />

was heightened by the grilled lemon,<br />

watercress, and fines herbes sauce.<br />

“<br />

seasonal, locally<br />

sourced ingredients<br />

with French flair and<br />

Eastern European<br />

accents.<br />

”<br />

Served with grilled bread and<br />

garlic purée, every piece was<br />

moist, tender, and slipped right off<br />

the bone.<br />

For the sides: charred Brussels<br />

sprouts with pomegranate<br />

molasses and the mac n mimolette,<br />

which exuded melted cheese as we<br />

pulled each creamy bite of comfort<br />

into our mouths.<br />

Finally, it was time for<br />

dessert. We chose the mandarin<br />

“creamsicle.” The well-crafted<br />

base of butterscotch parfait and<br />

pistachio shortbread topped with<br />

Mac N Mimolette<br />

a delicate scoop of mandarin sorbet<br />

and citrus confit was a wonderful, light<br />

ending to a fabulous dinner.<br />

If you’re looking for the perfect<br />

place for a romantic Valentine’s<br />

meal in quaint, classy environs with<br />

world-class cuisine, look no further.<br />

Their address may say Folsom, but once you walk through the doors of<br />

Chant’el Café you’re transported to a beautiful European city. The chandeliers,<br />

flowers, and Instagramable selfie wall are all perfect touches to lead you<br />

straight to their heavenly food. If you’re indecisive like me, then you’re going<br />

to have to order more than one thing and probably some food to go! Here<br />

are a few suggestions, though. I highly recommend the Syrniki (farmer’s<br />

cheese pancakes). They come topped with either strawberry jam and sour<br />

cream; condensed milk and fresh fruit; or chocolate, caramel, and nuts.<br />

I’ll make it easy, and tell you to order all three. You should also try one of<br />

their croissants; the butter one serves as the base to their beloved Salmon<br />

Croissant Sandwich and is baked fresh daily (along with everything else in<br />

their picture-perfect pastry case—cakes, tarts, mousses, and more). It’s no<br />

wonder the scent of warm baked goods wafts your way upon entering. Your<br />

experience wouldn’t be complete without a fresh cup of coffee, lovingly made<br />

Raspberry Latte (topped with freeze-dried raspberries for a touch of tartness<br />

and photo-ready finish), or fresh fruit tea. Cozy up and while away the day…<br />

long been a<br />

convenient way to<br />

get what you need<br />

on the go. You can<br />

roll up—literally—<br />

in some sweats or<br />

worry, order with<br />

minimal interaction,<br />

and be on your way.<br />

It really is as easy as<br />

out.<br />

Amy’s Drive-Thru<br />

Amy’s is dedicated to healthier food choices and<br />

sustainability. In fact, their vegetative roof filled with<br />

and shows commitment to a healthier lifestyle. When it<br />

comes to their good-for-you grub, there’s something<br />

for everyone! The entirely vegan and vegetarian<br />

eatery offers a variety of organic and non-GMO<br />

food and beverages—including favorites like The<br />

Amy (double veggie patty, double cheese, lettuce,<br />

tomatoes, onions, pickles, and secret sauce), plus<br />

burritos, fries, milkshakes, and more.<br />

Shady Coffee & Tea<br />

open mic nights, Shady is the perfect pick-me-up<br />

pitstop—whether you dine in or avail of their drive-thru.<br />

They also treat their customers and their coffee with<br />

great care (it’s organically sourced and locally roasted).<br />

In addition to the café’s cozy, quirky vibe and lovingly<br />

prepared Latte, their food is equally impressive!<br />

Established in San Francisco in 2011, KoJa has been<br />

featured on two Food Network shows: Diners, Drive-Ins &<br />

Dives and Eat Street. Named after a gourmet sandwich<br />

that combines Korean and Japanese flavors (hence the<br />

name “Ko-Ja”), the restaurant’s bold, eclectic offerings—<br />

like the Braised Pork KoJa with miso-coconut braised<br />

pork, arugula, a wonton chip, garlic aioli, masago, and<br />

lemon wedge—will have you hungry for more. Instead of<br />

traditional wheat buns, KoJa uses crispy garlic rice buns<br />

to create the fusion fare.<br />

Where We Live<br />

“Love, creativity, and opportunity is in<br />

the air. Take it in and do your thing.”<br />

—Lenny Kravitz<br />

SMELL<br />

THE<br />

ROSES<br />

5 Fun Facts<br />

1<br />

Fossil evidence found<br />

in Colorado suggests<br />

that roses have been in<br />

existence for at least 35<br />

million years; the oldest<br />

living rose is 1,000 years<br />

old and grows on a wall<br />

of Germany’s Hildesheim<br />

Cathedral.<br />

2<br />

The Rose Bowl Parade<br />

started as a procession<br />

of flower-covered<br />

carriages in 1890 as a<br />

celebration of California’s<br />

mild winter climate.<br />

3<br />

The fruit of a rose plant<br />

is known as rose hip<br />

and is a good source of<br />

vitamin C.<br />

4<br />

There are about 100<br />

species of roses—which<br />

vary in color, shape, and<br />

climate preference—but<br />

hybrid tea roses are the<br />

most common.<br />

5<br />

Wondering which color<br />

to give in your next<br />

bouquet? Red roses<br />

signify "love," pink ones<br />

"grace," peach "modesty,"<br />

yellow “friendship,” and<br />

orange "fascination."<br />
