Plated Review I’ve mentioned before that I try to find ways to cook in between my frequent work travels.  I use Amazon.com to keep my non-perishables stocked (and I usually order from the airport!)  And I’ve been using Hello Fresh lately to get ready-to-cook meals delivered to my house. I …

The first night of our stay at the Hyatt Zilara, we ate at the Tapas & Pintxos Restaurant (no reservations needed). For the menu, click here. We ate here the first night because we did not make reservations anywhere and it seemed like the easiest non-buffet place to eat. The first thing …

I had mentioned before that I use Lot18 for its great sales and free credit.  If you signed up when I last wrote about Lot18, you probably got a $15 credit the day after Christmas. If you go to their end of year sale, a lot of states have wine …

Just a note that Amazon is giving out $5 credits for people who download an app from their Android Appstore, even if you have used the AppStore before.     You need to have the most recent version of Android’s Amazon AppStore and you must have 1-click enabled.  You need …
