My Foodie Adventures Izzy’s Fish and Oyster
I can’t believe it’s a year now since I went to Fort Myers, FL for weekend escape. This trip was done just before the beginning of the pandemic. My wife and I had a good time. Nice shops, food and scenery. Izzy’s was simply delicious seafood especially the Dolphin Sandwich!
Nostalgia Huffy Bikes
So growing up in South Florida, all the neighborhood kids had a bike. Yes, there were different levels of makes and models according to what you could afford. My parents could only afford bikes at a Jefferson’s, Zayre’s or K-Mart. The Huffy Thunder Road was in my possession as a gift. My sister was gifted the girly version of the Huffy Thunder Road–The Sweet Thunder!
It’s nice to see the Huffy Brand is still around!

Music I have been listening to this past week
This week, while listening to the local R&B station in South Florida HOT 105, a flood of old school jams have come into my radar. Check out some of the classics below:
- Junior Mama Used To Say
- Cheryl Lynn
- Shalamar
- Mark Morrison Return Of The Mack
- The Whispers
- The System Don’t Disturb This Groove
- S.O.S. Band The Finest
Where are they now? The Fifth Dimension
Growing up in New Jersey, my Peruvian parents came into this country in the late 60’s and where hooked to the music of the time. Artists such as Johnny Mathis, Tom Jones, Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66, Burt Bacharach, and other albums were at my disposal. I would study the art work, lyrics and linear notes of each album. One group, comprised of 5 members with angelic voices and a sound that blew me away were the Fifth Dimension. These Vocal Group Hall of Fame winners dominated the late 60’s and early 70’s throughout the TV and Radio waves. The two 5th Dimension albums in my parent’s collection where Portrait and Love’s Lines, Angles and Rhymes.
It was a treat a couple of weeks ago while watching CBS This Morning to see the two founding members Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. are doing well. Some people may say their sound is corny but these music and songs are part of the sounds of my life growing up in Jersey. No electronic instruments just some good old fashioned instruments with a grand orchestra. Funny, I gravitate more to music than TV. Here’s a compilation of the Fifth Dimension’s Hits. Enjoy!

My Foodie Adventures Island Grove Wine Company at Formosa Gardens
My wife is a fan of their wines. Check out this Kissimmee FL based winery and here’s my short review of the place.
Nostalgia KISS member Paul Stanley
Growing up in 70’s, friends turned me on to KISS. I had their posters on my wall and loved their Kiss Alive 2 album. As you probably seen or heard they just completed a big concert in Dubai during the holidays. Now, coming up on March 19, 2021, lead singer of KISS Paul Stanley is coming out with a soulful selection of music from past Motown and vintage R&B music. He sounds great!

Music I have been listening to this past week
This week, I have been remembering an under-rated British band, a saxophone playing New Yorker and a collaboration with a Grammy winner, a FunkMeister and a future Grammy winner.
- Johnny Hates Jazz Yes, I am a fan of this under-rated band from England. Listen to this playlist you may like it!
- Najee During my courtship with my wife, this man’s music was in my life and in our wedding song ! Love me some Najee!
- Silk Sonic I see another album hit from Bootsy Collins, Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak!
Where are they now? The Guardian Angels
So I was watching “Beat Street” and all of a sudden this film reminded me of the Guardian Angels of New York. The Guardian Angels were created by Curtis Sliwa to protect citizens because of all the rampant crimes that were happening in the late 70’s and 80’s in New York. So these Angels rode the subways and streets trained in citizen arrest. In 2017, author David Francis Blanc wrote a book, An Angel’s Tale, about his service in the Guardian Angels. Since the group’s inception, now there are chapters all over the world.

My Foodie Adventures Sebring Diner: If you are on U.S. 27 in Sebring, FL during breakfast time, don’t forget to stop at this diner. Here’s my short review.
Nostalgia Stayin’ Alive (1983 film) This past week I saw this Sylvester Stallone directed film. In this sequel to ‘Saturday Night Fever, set six years after the events in the previous film, former disco king Anthony “Tony” Manero (John Travolta), now age 25, has left Brooklyn and is now living in Manhattan, staying in a flophouse hotel while he works as a dance instructor by day and as a waiter at a nightclub at night, looking for his big break in the modern dance productions on Broadway. Originally, I saw this film in the theater and less than a handful of times on cable TV. I understand why a lot of critics hated this film but I liked it. Now, I am not going to get to the specifics on why I liked it here but I agree with what some IMDB reviewers thought about the film. Great soundtrack from the film.

Apps to try out I may change this topic to hacks or information on current apps and software. Anyway, send me a comment if you think that’s a better topic. So with that being said, you probably are having this issue with Google Drive regarding space. My Google drive is close to the 15GB limit. I found this useful article on this issue and shaved a couple of GB’s just following the instructions. Good luck.
Music I have been listening to this past week
This week, I have been remembering a Latin flutist, a Bee Gee produced album and a Doobie Brother.
- Nestor Torres I came across this Latin flutist in South Florida where he was a staple in music festivals and festivals in general. His “Talk to Me” album is still talking to me all these years. I love this album!
- Guilty Album Barry Gibb produced album for Barbara Streisand.
- Michael McDonald Radio on Spotify with Paul Carrack, James Ingram, George Benson among others.
- As a Roku TV user and music fan, you should check out Boomer TV. Developed By Legal Evo. It has some never before seen concerts (kinda looks like handheld phone camera and footage I have yet to see on Youtube). Jimi Hendrix, early Run-DMC, and Joe Walsh to name a few are the rock and rap acts on this channel.
Where are they now? So today on Amazon Prime you are probably biting at the bit to see Eddie Murphy’s film sequel of Coming To America, “Coming 2 America”. For you music fans, here’s a short documentary on how the first film’s music and soundtrack was made from the great Nile Rodgers of Chic. Here’s a cool article on where they are now.

My Foodie Adventures This is a place where I will be going and providing a review in the near future in the St. Augustine, FL area. This past week Buc-ee’s opened.

Apps to try out Well, if you have seen in the news, Clubhouse is the latest app to hit the world wide web. It’s a new type of network based on voice and it’s available for Apple users for now. Here’s a webinar which will delve into how to get started on Clubhouse from my friends at Blogger Union.
70’s/80’s music I have been listening to this past week
This week, I have been all over the place with my music selection.
- Jan Hammer Remembering his Miami Vice TV sounds.
- Soda Stereo Argentinian rockers. I wish their lead singer was alive.
- Harry Connick Jr. God, I miss New Orleans music and food. Harry’s coming out with an album on March 19. Listen to “Amazing Grace“.
- Giorgio Moroder I was remembering the last 5 minutes of 1978’s Midnight Express film (scene where a Turkish Prison Warden is about to rape American Billy Hayes played by Brad Davis but kills the warden then escapes from the prison) and loved how Moroder’s music just blends in the end of the film. Powerful film!
Where are they now? Cast of Pretty in Pink. So growing up in the 80’s, I was and am still a movie freak (now I pick and choose what films are good for my brain). One of my favorite directors at the time was John Hughes and his films because he had a connection with the youth of that time period. Now comes Pretty in Pink. To be honest, I have yet to see this whole film since it came out in ’86 but have seen bits and pieces of it throughout the years. Maybe it’s because…. I’d rather not say. Anyway, here’s a good article of where the cast are now since the film turned 35 years old last week.

My Foodie Adventures If you are taking the trek up to Disney Springs (formerly Downtown Disney) check out Maria’s and Enzo’s Ristorante. Pick up a pizza slice. It’s delicious! Note: COVID-19 protocols are in place throughout the property.
Nostalgia I miss reading as a kid Dynamite, Creem, Fangoria, and Boy’s Life magazines. Here’s other 70’s and 80’s magazines you may recognize and where they stand now:
- Dynamite My all-time favorite kids magazine brought to you by Scholastic. Fortunately, archive.org assembled some issues to read. Here’s a good article on some of the covers. Unfortunately, I could not find why the magazine went under but this gentleman brings back memories why Dynamite was great. Enjoy!
- Creem America’s Only Rock and Roll Magazine. Here’s a documentary trailer about Creem that came out in 2020.
- Fangoria Same people that ran Starlog ran this gory and horror publication. Here’s two fanboys talking about Fangoria memories as adolescents back in the day,
- Boy’s Life Another cool magazine for boys was this publication from the Boy Scouts. As a Cub Scout, this magazine taught me a lot. Here’s a cool collection. It’s still going strong as the re-named “Scout Life”.
- Starlog For sci-fi lovers, this was the magazine to read. Here’s what happened to this gem.
- Madlibs
- CRACKED This was basically the same humor magazine as MAD and CRAZY. Here’s the archive. Enjoy!
- Mad Magazine For me this magazine is one of my favorites due to the humor and the cartoons from Al Jaffee (just retired at age 99), Sergio Aragones and my favorite MAD artist Don Martin. Here’s a great MAD site for the fans! Latest on MAD Magazine.
- Bananas A copy of Dynamite for older kids (teens). Here’s a cool collection of covers.
- CRAZY Another Marvel Comics publication to compete with MAD and CRACKED. Enjoy the archive!
- Pizzazz I have just come to find out this magazine was owned by Marvel Comics. My top 3 favorite as a kid. Hey, there was even a commercial! This article explains a little bit why it disappeared.
- Ranger Rick
- Highlights
- Sesame Street
- Electric Company
- Doctor Who Annual and Magazine
Here’s a visual collection of other favorite magazines and good article on 70’s and 80’s t-shirts! Damn, I am old.

70’s/80’s music I have been listening to this past week Growing up in a Latino household in the 70s and 80s, Salsa music ran rampant in my house and Grandparents home for Sunday dinner. So this past week, I have been listening to Johnny Pacheco’s compilation of Salsa music. He was the founder and musical director of Fania Records, who has passed away on Monday, February 15, 2021 at the age of 85. Here’s my favorites from this pioneer of Salsa music:
Fania All-Stars-Live At The Cheetah Club Vol. 1 and Vol. 2
Our Latin Thing (Nuestra Cosa Latina) – Full Movie-Johnny Pacheco, Musical Director
Celia Cruz y Fania All Stars en Africa (1974)
Spotify-This is Johnny Pacheco
Damn, another Fat Boy bites the dust! Prince Markie Dee of the Fatboy’s rap group dead at 52.
Where are they now? “Happy Gilmore” takes a golf swing this past week.
Other things I found: … and Shooter McGavin responds. Here’s what has happened to the rest of the cast.
