Watcho the Camacho
Last Saturday night after seeing “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist” at the Grandview Theater in St. Paul, Kyle and I were hungry. Just down on Grand Avenue a short distance was Khyber Pass Cafe, a perfect place for a late night dinner. I really had no expectations for Khyber Pass, as I had never had [...]

I headed to St. Paul on Saturday afternoon to get some Nookie…(get your mind out of the gutter, I was after a burger from The Nook). Unfortunately, The Nook was extremely busy so we decided to go a few miles away to the Shamrock Grill on West 7th, where they have The Nook burgers on [...]

Saturday night Kyle and I had dinner plans with my in-laws. We wanted to take them somewhere fun with good food, so we decided on El Mesón, a Spanish-Caribbean restaurant in south Minneapolis. We had been there a few times before and had always loved it. Unfortunately, this visit did not live up to our [...]

I am recovering from a cold and, therefore, am not much up for writing. Instead, I thought I would share some pictures that I took last week at the St. Paul Farmer’s Market. We picked up some late summer vegetables, which I then took home and made raspberry jam, tomato jam and pickled red peppers. [...]

It was Sunday and breakfast was the main priority. I didn’t care where we went, as long as there would be eggs. At the precise moment when Kyle made a suggestion of where we should go, we received a text from our friend The Freets. He and his lovely wife Sue were headed to Day [...]

Located on the banks of the Illinois River in East Peoria, Illinois is the Burger Barge restaurant. No, it’s not an actual barge, but it certainly looks as though a barge or boat of some type ran ashore and then took off again, leaving behind remnants such as weathered anchors, ropes, and other nautical items. [...]

I was visiting home last week in the lovely town of Morton, Illinois. I had a great time with friends and family and arrived back to Minneapolis exhausted! I did visit a few restaurants and, of course, the Pumpkin Festival…all of which I will write about soon. However, for today I thought I would just [...]

One of my favorite lunch spots is Cecil’s Deli in Highland Park, St. Paul. I love this place! We happened upon Cecil’s several years ago after my dad (who lives out of state) got a recommendation from someone about a restaurant that serves the BEST rueben in the Twin Cites. Although he wasn’t sure of [...]

After reading a quick blurb about the new Nepalanese restaurant in South Minneapolis, I knew I had to try it. So even though I had plans to make dinner and have a low-key night at home on Friday, I quickly changed the plans and convinced Kyle that we had to go. And off we went [...]

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 [...]
