Last Lunch at MoFo’s Orange County Office.

June 28th, 2008 No comments

Morrison & Foerster, a well known international law firm just closed its Orange County office in Irvine — I once worked there as a Paralegal.  Last week I returned to enjoy one last lunch there with former co-workers and friends.  It appeared to be a reunion of twenty years of legal services.

The Lawyers, Paralegals, and Staff have scattered throughout various good firms in Orange County.  We’ll still meet for lunch and Morrison & Foerster will be okay.  I’m sure they didn’t expect a food angle to this story. 🙂

Milk. It Sometimes Feels So Vital.

May 21st, 2008 1 comment

There are certain things we eat that MUST be accompanied by a Glass of Milk.  For me, it’s Chocolate, most sweets, a homemade dinner or lunch, and breakfast.  Does anything satisfy or compliment certain foods better?  I know Red Wine does too, especially after a hard day, but we’re talking about Milk now.  Sometimes “Got milk?” does make a lot of sense.

I don’t know all the ins and outs about Milk — Some say aspects are good and others say differently.  I know I wouldn’t want to give it up.  I often crave a very cold glass of it.

On a side NOTE:  I once won a contest using it in a recipe.  The contest was sponsored by Milk, thus I’m sporting a Milk Mustache in a print AD.  My recipe and mug were published in Gourmet and Bon Appétit Magazines a few years back.  See the link below for the print copy and recipe.

Hello.  Welcome to Nibbles of Tidbits, a Food Blog.  I’m Shelly Borrell and its publisher.  We report about and photograph all things FOOD related — Cooking, dining out, recipes, competitions, events, products and a whole lot more.  We review and feature many Southern California restaurants and other fabulous food finds discovered through travel and eating on Earth. 

Nibbles of Tidbits is a place to read about the terrific dishes we’ve made, as well as “dishes gone wrong.”  If you’ve been cooking for a fair amount of time, you know that many dishes turn out great and some just become that (hopefully funny now) day of enlightenment.  

Nibs of Tids for short (probably only once – HA) is a blog about the GOOD, the BAD & the FUNNY regarding FOOD — From Yikes to Ooo La La.  We emphasize food experimentation, comparison, various cooking techniques, uncommon ingredients, easy meals, helpful tools, shortcuts, cool ideas and fun stuff.  

When not dining out, our goal is to prepare unique and flavorful, high-quality meals on a daily basis.  Why not?  We report the results of our testing and tastings, good and bad.  We’re a ‘Tavern on the Web’ to take away yummy inspiration or learn what not to do next time.  Thanks for visiting and do check back often.  Ciao.

BONUS INFO:  If seeking information regarding Freelance Writing Services, please visit our main site — I Need Text Companywww.ineedtext.com.  And if you’d like to read more, I currently write as the Orange County Food Examiner on Examiner.com.  I’ve been a cookin’ fool for years and lucky enough to win a few recipe/food contests.  To learn more about that, click here and to view additional (non-food related) writing samples, this is the link for you. 

All the Best, Shelly Borrell
