President Biden previously said that up to 100,000 Ukrainian refugees may come to the United States. And since many cities in California have strong links with Ukraine, many refugees may end up settling in the state. Quoting an article published by The New York Times:

Vegetarian cuisine has been moving more into the mainstream over the past few decades. When it comes to fresh flavors and healthy ingredients, you cannot go wrong with vegetarian dishes. Sacramento, California has a popular farm to fork movement, with many local farmers contributing to it. The restaurants in Sacramento have also been willing to adapt the farm to fork movement to their menu options.

The city of Sacramento, California prides itself on diversity. The city has a plethora of culinary options, whether you want Italian, Indian, or in this case Asian cuisine. You can experience the best cuisine that the world has to offer, without ever having to travel outside of Sacramento. I enjoy Asian food because it is the perfect thing to eat when you want something light and healthy that still packs flavor.

If there is one type of food that I enjoy more than anything else, it is fried chicken. While anyone can make fried chicken, it takes a certain skill to make it taste great. I seldom frequent the fried chicken chain restaurants, instead seeking out the unique independent restaurants. Because Sacramento, California is such a diverse city with a large population, there are restaurants that cater to every taste.

Barbecue is one of those cuisines that is far more complicated than it looks. Just the act of firing up a grill and throwing a few pieces of meat on it is not true barbecuing. The same goes for finding a good tasting barbecue restaurant. Although opinions can vary, not everyone is a pit master. There is a process to grill a cut of meat or poultry the correct way, and only those true barbecue pit masters can accomplish it.

The culinary scene in Sacramento, California is diverse. But one of the all-time favorites of restaurant goers is a good slice of pizza. Sacramento has a few pizza places that are well known and renowned for the original flavor. A good tasting slice of pizza is a combination of a great sauce and fresh ingredients, and most importantly a delicious crust. Being from the Bay Area, I've had some great slices of pizza before, but when I moved to Sacramento, I questioned if the quality would follow to the central valley.

Growing up in Sacramento, California was a fun experience. There was so much to do there, and the unique personality of the city makes it stand out compared to San Francisco or some other large cities in California. If there is one thing that Sacramento has, it is an abundance of restaurants to choose from. Most notably are the abundance of burger places to choose from, all of which serve a unique variation of the tried and true American classic.

Thanks to Ahh Dat Outdoors, I got a chance to demo and review the brand new kayak on the market, the Lightning Kayaks Kick 106.

Five hundred pounds of Mt. Lassen Trout were stocked recently at nearby Rancho Seco Lake, CA. These trout disperse quickly; however, for the next few days, catching them is fairly easy. From the banks, soak powerbait two to three feet from the bottom would do the trick. There is an entrance fee to the park shown at the end of this short video. Have fun fishing. Please watch, follow, like and share this video. Thank you.

Everything YOU need to know if you are considering staying at the Hotel Winters located in the near historic town of Winters California. The Hotel Winters with 78-rooms is a relatively new hotel that opened in 2019. The Hotel Winters is definitely a great weekend retreat for residents of the Bay Area, and is also a relatively quick drive (30 minutes) from Sacramento airport. In this review I'll show you the common areas of the hotel, and the inside of a hotel room with two queen beds. I'll conclude with my overall assessment of the hotel.

The California State Railroad Museum is a museum in the state park system of California, United States, interpreting the role of the "iron horse" in connecting California to the rest of the nation. It is located in Old Sacramento State Historic Park at 111 I Street, Sacramento. The museum features 21 restored locomotives and railroad cars, some dating back to 1862. The "Sierra Scene" shows a large scale mockup of a construction scene high in the Sierra Nevada representing Donner Pass circa 1867, featuring the locomotive Gov. Stanford. Other exhibits show how the influence of railroads changed American society, influencing travel, commerce and daily life, as well as the lives of railroaders and the diversity of people who work on railroads. Changing exhibits featuring photography, ephemera, and artifacts from the museum's collection, add depth and incidental information to the overall story of railroad history.
