El Jardin is a cheerful setting bathed in lilting music. El Jardin is aromatic scents. This Mexican restaurant couldn’t be more welcoming. However, the warm and congenial setting is not the only facet that makes this establishment a success. Jon Large, proprietor, is constantly looking at ways to improve upon the menu while, at the same time, leaving the successful, tried-and-true dishes alone. It is a balancing act. The creative energy that emerges from Jon, and spills o... Full story

Ian Murdock Special to The Village News Manchester by the Sea was among a few films that peaked my interest as 2016 came to a close. While I'm a tremendous fan of Casey Affleck, I am still trying to reconcile how the story of Manchester was completely mangled. With more family loss than anyone could fathom or seemingly endure, this film ought to have been one of the most emotional and moving stories in recent years. Instead, it seems the writer felt that scene after scene of... Full story
FALLBROOK – Parents know taking kids out to eat requires patience. The sights and sounds of a restaurant can be overwhelming and distracting to children used to eating at home.

But parents who want to take their tots out on the town can employ some easy steps to make eating out a fun excursion for e... Full story

Hosts have a lot on their plates when planning dinner parties. Choosing the menu is a big responsibility, as is taking steps to ensure guests feel welcome. One area novice hosts may overlook is how to set a proper table. Eating on the go or quickly between commitments means individuals often grab meals wherever they can, and that rarely leads them to the dining room table. But a properly set table can impress guests and improve the ambiance at a dinner party. Begin by...

That small, 70-page recipe collection included a trio of eggnog recipes. Among the three choices, one is bound to be perfect for any group. Or, for a large party, why not offer an eggnog buffet? Adventuresome guests can try all three var... Full story
Ian Murdock Special to the Village News Having seen the clips for Allied – yet another film centered around WW2 and efforts to stop the Germans – I had pretty high hopes, considering it starred Brad Pitt, as well as a refreshing new face (at least to me), Marion Cotillard. With a spy theme as the backdrop, terrible graphic violence was not something I was overly concerned about – and the story did not disappoint in that vein. However, though I consider myself far more patient than most in allowing a plot to develop, the w...

SAN DIEGO COUNTY –It is hard to picture 833 million Thanksgiving dinners being thrown directly into the trash, but each year Americans waste that much food between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day alone. Meanwhile, 48.1 million Americans are struggling to avoid hunger daily. On average, San Diegans throw away five pounds of trash a day, the most in the state. Fifteen percent of that is food waste, adding up to almost 500,000 pounds each year in San Diego alone. Food that end... Full story
