The roommate and I went to the Oregon Coast over the weekend.  On the way back home I was feeling kind of peckish, and my travelling companion needed to make a pit stop.  She wasn’t hungry and we were in a hurry, so I needed something to grab and go.  This is how we ended […]

I’ve mentioned a few times lately that I’ve been getting a lot of contacts from PR firms.  Most of the requests come from people who have obviously never given my blog even a basic perusal, but occasionally an interesting offer will come through.  Recently I was contacted by someone letting me know that Epicurean has recently […]

Also, it saves me from having to take places like Taco Time and Taco Bell […]

My roommate has lived in Eagle most of her life, and the one thing she complains about over and over in regards to my site is the fact that I’ve done very few reviews of Eagle eateries.  In particular, she’s been fixating on The Blue Moose Café for a while now, despite the fact that […]
