I have mentioned in previous entries that the torta is my favorite Mexican food item.  I’ve said that the best tortas I know of come from a taco truck in Nampa.  However, those of you who have read my Wheelers review may remember that I have also said I almost never make it out to Nampa […]

This may be one of my most comprehensive review to date.  The two adults in this household have become very fond of Zen Bento lately.  Over the course of six days we visited them three times, and I’ve had the opportunity to try five different items.  No hilarious anecdotes or anything to relate though, so this should […]

If there’s one thing that I know about food, it’s that pretty much everybody loves Italian.  Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that everyone loves food with Italian roots.  Even the pickiest of kids I’ve known still adore pizza and spaghetti, but those dishes have come a long way from where they started, and […]

In my Spring Fling entry, I said that I would do a follow-up post when I finally got around to cooking the frozen lumpia from JJ’s, but before I get into that I need to quickly address something else.  In that same entry, I mentioned that my roommate started off her evening by chowing down […]

From the day I drove by the building being erected in the constantly evolving area just South of the Eagle and Franklin Roads intersection with the sign saying “Ling and Louie’s Asian Bar and Grill / Rice To Meet You”, I was intrigued.No, it wasn’t the punny tag line that got to me, it was […]
