I find that I just don't have time to keep this blog up. This doesn't mean that there isn't going to be anymore blogging about Fresno but it will be a subset of my main blog. So if you want to read my Fresno musings just pop over to the <a href="http://blog.nerdfamily.com">NerdFamily Blog</a>!NerdMomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07224456651971222203noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452157834059055192.post-84232521871034325642009-07-31T17:19:00.000-07:002009-07-31T20:13:34.801-07:00The Fresno Bee Got it Right!A couple of months agao I saw Mediterranean Grill listed in the People's Choice insert in the Bee. My friend and I even tried to go there for dinner but it closes by 2:30. So today I got a chance to try Mediterrean Grill for lunch. I loved it!!! For all those who know me, I am very hard to please in the restuarant arena. I mean if I am going to pay for it, it better be better than mine;).<div><br /></div><div>Mediterranean Grill totally fits that bill. I ordered their Lebanese Chicken & Rice. The chicken comes with the yummiest garlic saice. Normally I am not a big sauce fan out because it is usually heavy and either overly salty or sweet. But I do have to say that sauce is what makes a good dish because it is all about layering flavors. Well, this was delightful!!! The sauce was a bit spicy and creamy with a hit of acid to brighten it all up. The chicken and rice was also served with a Fattoush Salad. That was great!!! It is fresh and just great. It is also a lot of food. I ate half of everything for a large lunch and then ate the salad with dinner. The rice and chicken will make a good lunch tomorrow. So it is definately worth the little over $9 it cost.</div><div><br /></div><div>So if you are over by the Office Depot and Fresno Community Hospital, you have to try Mediterrean Grill!!!<br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>NerdMomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07224456651971222203noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452157834059055192.post-32842369774671318292009-07-30T16:02:00.000-07:002009-07-30T16:07:58.350-07:00Local DealsI recently found a site with lots of local coupons (and we know how I love a deal). <a href="http://fresno.suddenvalues.com/sudden/values/">Sudden Values</a> has a ton of coupons that are just for local businesses.

A nice commenter (<a href="http://fresnobeehive.com/opinion/2009/07/downtown_parking_myths.html#comment-503490">Joe Moore</a>) put together a great plan for a day of thrifting and fun all with free parking!

Normally I like Bentley's pieces but this time he really let me down. But he obviously doesn't understand Buffy nor Buffy fans. To start with he said that Giles was a slayer. Slayers are always chicks. Giles was a watcher. Then he seems to not understand the breadth of Buffy fandom. Even if I wasn't a sucker for an Authurian piece (which I am) I would totally tune in to see the beloved Giles. <div><br /></div><div>My last bone of contention is in the list of thing Anthony Head has done. Part of the reason this is so dissapointing is that it prove that we don't watch the same tv. Head didn't star in Doctor Who but guested in the show. And MI-5, which was a great show, was on Head's resume for multiple episodes.</div><div><br /></div><div>Rant over.</div>NerdMomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07224456651971222203noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452157834059055192.post-72738144911775180992009-06-15T22:09:00.000-07:002009-06-15T22:11:45.220-07:00Local Boy, Local Music, Local Fun<object width="425" height="349"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FzAMVM8wDmM&rel=0&border=1&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FzAMVM8wDmM&rel=0&border=1&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="425" height="349"></embed></object><div><br /></div><div>I found this over at the <a href="http://www.fresnomagblog.com/2009/06/good-week-for-music-rock-retro.html">Fresno Magazine's Blog</a>.

That is in essence what the Jordan family has done. A family that has never been to CSU Fresno but know a retired professor decided to donate $29.4 million dollars to the Ag Sciences and Technology school. Now it is being renamed. Is it obvious to anyone else that this family/trust was just shopping for a legacy? Fresno State, I guess that this means we all know what you are and that we are just settling on a price.<br /><br />The money will probably do some good (if we can keep it away from the lawsuit settlement payouts) but the whole thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I remember waiting with my stepdad for this video to premiere on tv. I loved MC Hammer but that was pre-Death Row records (gansta). So that makes me ask what is going to be in that concert? I would take some of kids to the nice Hammer but not the hard-core one. <br /><br />But go see who else is coming to the Fair!NerdMomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07224456651971222203noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452157834059055192.post-10576952614696651482009-03-04T22:25:00.000-08:002009-03-04T22:26:41.641-08:00Congrats!I just want to congratulate Nathan Magsig on his re-election to the Clovis City Council!

Every few months it seems something crazy happens in the Fresno Police Department and this issue comes back. I hear about about the officers that may have gone over board (and had the misfortune of being caught on tape) and the unit that got disassembled. It makes the idea of having someone keep and eye on FPD sound pretty good.<br /><br />Then I read <a href="http://www.briansfresyes.com/2009/02/do-we-need-independent-police-auditor.html">Brian Calhoun's</a> reasoning for not hiring an IPA. I must say that he made a lot of sense, especially when talking about what they would do all year.<br /><blockquote>What would an Office of the IPA (generally an attorney with staff assistants) do 365 days a year? It is only human nature (and job self preservation) to appear busy. My guess is that the IPA would be a magnet for every disgruntled person wanting to contest a parking or speeding ticket. It would constantly be second-guessing elected officials, the chief of police and, possibly, the courts and grand jury. And how would this additional oversight operation differ from the City Attorney's office, staffed as it is with well-paid, competent attorneys that are fully prepared to investigate possible police malfeasence?</blockquote><br />Calhoun also talks about Chief Jerry Dyer handling these situations well as the arise. I haven't seen anything that makes me question how Chief Dyer handles issues. My problem is why do these things keep happening? That is the argument for Fresno City to employ an Independent Auditor. But I think Calhoun has a great point. So couldn't we just bring in a consultant or someone on a short contract? Someone to analyze why these things keep happening and that exact the kind f institutional change that might be needed? Because what is going on now just doesn't seem to be helping.NerdMomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07224456651971222203noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452157834059055192.post-64666610359975387182009-02-05T21:24:00.000-08:002009-02-05T21:28:41.924-08:00Fulton Farmers MarketThe kids and I went to the Famers Market on downtown today and it was great!

One of my own memories of Christmas Tree Lane was caroling with my 3rd grade Brownie Troop in a little shelter/box that was set up.<br /><br />Christmas Tree Lane is actually Van Ness from Shields to Shaw avenue (car traffic travels north). This year it runs from December 2, 2008-December 28, 2008. The walk dates this year are Tuesday December 2nd and Wednesday December 10th.<br /><br />We at the NerdFamily prefer doing the walking nights where we park at Fig Garden. You can then take a bus (with a small fee) that will drop you off at the Shields end and you walk back to your car. But if you are driving, please consider your route carefully. If you need to flip a u-turn you might be waiting a while.<br /><br />If you need more information you can go to the <a href="http://www.oldfig.org/about/christmastreelane.html">Fig Garden site on Christmas Tree Lane</a>. The history is really interesting.NerdMomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07224456651971222203noreply@blogger.com0
