This year I was lucky enough to take two culinary classes, advanced culinary and advanced baking.

My culinary classes quickly became my favorite classes and what I looked forward to the most throughout the school day. Not only for...
It's an honor to be a part of this chefs dueling competition. I'm a part of the advanced culinary class at Fallbrook High School and for many years I have been obsessed with cooking.

If I were to go to a culinary school, I would love to share the food ideas I have learned over my years of...

Through my classes at Fallbrook High School, I've been able to develop the skills I've needed to successfully navigate a kitchen both safely and efficiently and...

Before I start, I want to say “kudos” to our Assemblywoman Marie Waldron for her always clear and concise reportage of what’s happening in Sacramento. But for Superintendent Desmond, not so much. He says we have “relentless inflation”. The fact is, inflation has been relenting for the past two years. In 2022, it peaked at 8.5 percent, but was down to 5.0 percent in 2023, and 3.4 percent in April 2024 (latest report). And the Fed (Federal Reserve) has shown that it has no intention of relenting in its effort to lower the... Full story
If you missed the Fallbrook Vintage Car Show in downtown Fallbrook last Sunday, it was great. The nonprofit club brought it back into Fallbrook and took a chance holding it downtown, and it seemed like a winner to me!

It wasn’t as crowded as the Avocado Festival, with an estimated 100,000 people, but there were more than the Christmas P... Full story
Over the coming weeks, the County of San Diego will actively seek community input, deliberate, make adjustments, and ultimately adopt the 2024-2025 budget. This is one of the most important times of the year because it is crucial that we spend taxpayer dollars effectively while maintaining a healthy financial state through strong operating reserves. I firmly believe that this money belongs to the community, not the government, and it must be used wisely to improve the lives... Full story
