We’re going out of order here.  In my last post, I described on of the great meals of my life.  However, that wasn’t the first thing that happened when I arrived in town.  I had a few hours to kill, which I planned to spend up in the mountains taking pictures of the forest area […]

On the whole, this working in Nampa thing has been a positive experience food-wise.  I’ve found unique sandwiches and sushi, addictive Hawaiian, surprisingly good Thai, even a combination Mexican and gyro joint.  But it hasn’t been all moonshine and corn dogs.  There is no Indian food.  I have yet to find a truly good burger […]
