Terrariums, So Hot Right Now!
01.05.10
I completely forgot about terrariums, until I read The Ecology Center’s first-ever workshop on the art of terrariums! And like anything that’s tie-dye, I love this remnant from the 70’s. This Saturday, Jan. 9 at 1 p.m. you can create an entirely self-sufficient ecosystem that fit inside one-gallon glass jars. Costs $25 plus, $15 materials fee.The Ecology Center, 32701 Alipaz St., San Juan Capistrano. Register in advance by calling The Ecology Center at 949.443.4223, or visit TheEcologyCenter.org

Old-time favorite: Zlaket’s in Garden Grove
01.03.10
Talk about history—Zlaket’s in Garden Grove has been around since 1927 and more than eight decades later, it still retains that wonderful small town market feel. The family-owned deli has remained a favorite among residents for its selection of high quality meats, deli foods and catered goods.
Zlaket’s is also known for having what might be the largest selection of old-fashioned soda pop in Orange County—they carry nearly 30 kinds of bottled soda, including Bubble Up, Frosties, Filbert’s, and more! Classic sandwiches are $6 to $7; for the meat gourmand you can find leg of lamb stuffed with ortega chiles, filet of beef roast stuffed with peppers, onions, mushroom, pork loin roast stuffed with dried fruit, veal shanks prepared for Osso Bucco and more.
Zlaket’s Market is located at 12921 Main St. in Garden Grove
