Watcho the Camacho
Have you ever asked your friends “if you were stranded on an island and could have only five foods, what would they be?” I asked this to friends a few times and I’ve thought about that question myself even more. I’m pretty set in a few of my food needs, but others may vary slightly [...]

The ingredients for the boil were crab legs, shrimp, andoullie sausage, carrots, onions, potatoes, and corn. The accompaniments to round out the menu were [...]

To kick off the long Labor Day weekend, Kyle and I headed to the Minnesota State Fair on Friday afternoon. We hadn’t been to a fair in years and here we were hitting our second state fair in a month. The grease, the sun, the beer…borderline body abuse.
Since there were only two of us at [...]

I’m in love with the book Alice Waters and Chez Panisse, an inspiring and true story of Alice Waters and her dream for a sustainable, food-conscious world. I just finished it today, to which my husband said, “now can you get on with life?” Honestly, it’s that addicting. What I love about it, is that [...]

Last night we went to Signature Cafe for a beautiful August evening dinner. Signature Cafe is a true neighborhood restaurant, in that it is situated on a residential street amongst houses and resides in a building that formerly housed a neighborhood grocery store. I remember the first time we drove up Warwick Street and saw [...]

There is much to do around town when it’s summer in the Twin Cities and this is especially true in the Mill District. I’ve enjoyed road races, light shows, and outdoor concerts this summer, but the most enjoyable event for me is the farmers market.

It’s no secret that I absolutely loved the three months I spent in Uruguay! I shared many a story last year on my blog about it and I continue to long for the good times and good food that I had there. Therefore, when I heard that Anthony Bourdain had travelled there this past February [...]

I thought I would do a little catch up on a couple meals that I ate out this summer but have not had a chance to write about.
Muffuletta
The first was a brunch at Muffuletta that happened, admittedly, awhile back. On a beautiful early summer day a few friends and I had plans to try out [...]

I know, I know, I know…The A to Z Produce Pizza Farm has been written about a lot lately. But I had plans to go there to see what all the fuss was about and I am glad that I did. So in the spirit of sharing experiences, I decided to go ahead and write [...]

Our recent visit to the Iowa State Fair was a first for me. Although I have been to the Minnesota State Fair, I felt the need to go to Iowa to visit the only state fair listed in the book 1,000 Places to See Before You Die. With the hype of that book, as well [...]
