A New and Improved Vietnamese Restaurant

Formerly called Pho Nga, the new management renamed this conveniently located restaurant Pho Viet.  Serving authentic and delicious home style Vietnamese food.  Come try the different variations of pho noodles, such as the traditional beef pho, chicken pho, or meatball pho.  Pho Viet also serves combination rice dishes, vermicelli, egg and spring rools, as well as some specialty menu items.  For example, the “pho ap chao” dish takes pho noodles, deep frying them with eggs and serving it with a large plate of cooked vegetables, seafood, and beef.  In addition to our entrees, Pho Viet also serves Thai tea boba and various fruit boba smoothies.

A Guy’s Take On Being Single in Santa Clarita

A Guy’s Take On Being Single in Santa Clarita

OMG… I cannot believe this happened to me again.  Before I explain what happened, I want to tell you that I have finally ended all contact with Internet dating sites.  I am sure this works for some people, but I had found out over time that it just was not for me.  Lately every time I saw a dating site commercial, I would start laughing out loud, “sarcastically.”  I mean really, showing an actual first date with two actors is pretty funny.  Seriously though every time I went online I saw the same people.  It seemed nothing changed, and after this last date of mine, I decided to cut the cord for good.  From now on if I happen to run into someone who looks interesting, I will just suck it up and ask her out.

Shrink Your Waistline With Healthy and Delicious Persian Food

Shrink Your Waistline With Healthy and Delicious Persian Food

I remember when dieting meant dry toast, soft boiled eggs and celery sticks.  For dessert, you were allowed sugar free gelatin.  Thankfully, these days the first rule of thumb for weight loss is – stop dieting!
The best way to trim off those extra pounds is to eat fresh, healthy foods in moderation.  This and a simple regimen of exercise will get you to your goal and help keep you there by changing your lifestyle.

History of Pho

History of Pho

Pho is a Vietnamese beef noodle soup that is served in a bowl with a specific cut of white rice noodles (called bánh phở’) in clear beef broth, with slim cuts of beef (steak, fatty flank, lean flank, brisket).

Steam Train Chugs to Xmas Tree Farm

Steam Train Chugs to Xmas Tree Farm

Santa is gearing up for his famous Christmas Eve journey to the homes of children all over the world.  But before that, he is making a few stops along the way, most notably on the Fillmore & Western Railway’s variety of holiday trains.  
There are still seats available for families on the North Pole Express on selected Wednesdays through Sundays with trains departing at 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., beginning November 26 and running through December 26.

J.R.’s Comedy Corner Lucky 14! Celebrate our 14-Year Anniversary!

Hello Comedy Connoisseurs!
This month we will celebrate our 14-year anniversary of bringing world-class comedy to Valencia.  We will have a full month of great shows perfect for your Holiday parties, and New Year’s Eve celebrations.
We start on December 2 and 3, with Lisa Landry, one of the funniest comics in the country.  She hails from Louisiana, and her Southern charm and candor landed her a hot special on Comedy Central.  Also appearing is Willis Turner, whose impression of Prince is an all time favorite.

Buon Natale, From Our Family to Yours!

Buon Natale, From Our Family to Yours!

I would have to say that my favorite part of the holiday season is the food!  Having been raised in a very traditional, Sicilian family meant that the arrival of Christmas brought with it a marathon of meals that were one better than the other.  So much of my family’s culture and traditions are present in these meals.  The dishes we prepare and the ingredients that we use all stem from my grandparents and great-grandparents, who created meals so special that now we look to re-create them every year. 

Pho Viet Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine

Pho Viet Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine

Located in Canyon Country, Pho Viet is the new buzz in SCV.  As its name indicates, the restaurant offers authentic Vietnamese cuisine in which “Pho,” the famous Vietnamese noodle is its main feature.  Never before in SCV has a Vietnamese restaurant offered such an impressive menu line-up that surpasses even restaurants in Orange County, where all the very best Vietnamese restaurants are concentrated. 

‘Tis the Season…

‘Tis the Season…

On Dasher, on Dancer, on Prancer and Vixon, on Comet, and Cupid, and Donner and let’s get Blitzen... isn’t that how it goes?  The holidays are upon us and even Santa has his designated driver, Rudolph!  Holiday shopping can be a task and even a chore at times.  We must remember that this is the season to bring good cheer to all.  When in doubt spread the cheer with a smile and perhaps a nice cocktail.  Make a point to stop in during any of your mall runs to partake in a special holiday drink special.

They also have a very talented ad representative, Valerie. She skillfully assists her clients in making wise and informed decisions. She is the best both from a personal and professional perspective.
