Join us for a memorable family lunch at the Blackbird, nestled within the iconic Nielson Tower, where exquisite cuisine meets stunning panoramas.

Family was informed by their friends to try  Blackbird at the Nielson Tower  and asked Mom Violy if she has ever been there before. Mom Violy had no clue what it was asked Carmina to look it up and see what kind of food they serve.  Carmina gave the phone number to Mom Violy make a reservation for a family lunch. On the day of the reservation, we arrived early and were allowed to enter before the official opening time of eleven o’clock in the morning. We decided to stay in the lobby, where we were asked if we wanted anything to drink. Carmina took videos inside and learned about the history by talking to the staff. One hour later, people started coming into the restaurant and took their seats at the reservation table, browsing the menu to decide what to order. Our family members were running late, but we didn’t get bored thanks to the friendly staff. More customers kept arriving and placing their orders, and we couldn’t help but glance at their dishes, curious about what ...

Clover the Obedient Dog

Catalina had informed Carmina that they have a poodle dog name Clover before she had opened her door from her home. Carmina had informed Catalina it is not a problem since she had owned a dog when she was young. Most dogs when you've entered their home would bark at you or smell you as you would walk pass them. Clover didn't do anything like that to Carmina he just looked at her and walked away. Clover loved to go next to Carmina when she would seat down at their sofa in the family room watching television. Clover is well trained he has one sliding door that has a bell when he needs to do his nature calling, he would ring it to let their owner know he need to go. Clover has another door when he would like to drink water he'll just sit there patiently for his owner. Clover doesn't beg for food when you're eating at the table. He is well trained by Verenice who he is very close too. NOTE: Carmina is not selling or advertising for any dogs just wanted to share my exper...

Boiled Artichoke with Dipping Sauce Recipe

Carmina has friends saying they love eating artichoke, yet they don't know how to cook it from the stove top. They end up purchasing the ones that are marinated that is inside a bottle. Carmina prefers to eat the fresh ones if she could when it is in season in California. I can just eat it as my meal along with my favorite melted butter with mayo. Carmina was able to purchase her artichokes at Safeway Grocery for 2 for $5.00. I am sure you can purchase somewhere else since I was shopping with Mom Violy it was the place, I got mine. Cooking Instructions: Place artichoke in a big pot and fill water inside bowl it for forty-five minutes until you begin to smell it from your kitchen and home. The water will be color green another way you know it is already cooked. Remove the cooked artichokes with a tong and place it on a strainer and place it on a plate. Dipping Sauce: Butter Mayonnaise Slice the butter how much you want, place in a bowl and microwave it for one twenty-five minutes. A...
