It’s been weeks since the downtown Walnut Creek Greek restaurant Pomegranate has been open due to, “staff training”. I remember how proud the previous owner was about their pomegranate trees in front of the restaurant. I know there is a new owner but how much longer do we have to wait for this to reopen?
The end of the year is a time for me to reflect on what I accomplished this year and check how my resolutions turned out. I’ve been reading actual books most days and achieved some technical certifications I had been meaning to work on for years so I’m mostly satisfied. It’s become easier as my kids have gotten older and more independent.
How did 2018 work out for you? Do you feel you’ve accomplished what you set out to do this year?

It’s been over a year since we first learned about Tozai Izakaya opening in downtown Walnut Creek and the wait will soon be over as they soft open next Thursday on January 3rd. Compared to Ramen Hiroshi (same owners), this spot is way more spacious. Considering how much I enjoy the ramen there (especially in the East Bay), I can’t wait to try the food here as well!
