o my roommate feels that occasionally I should blog about our favorite recipes to make at home.  I can’t be certain if this is because she feels we should show that we actually can cook and/or do eat somewhat healthy from time to time, or just that she wants to share recipes she really enjoys, […]

Another night of successful eating at this month’s Boise Urban Market.  Unfortunately, not quite as successful on the picture-taking side of things…I don’t really feel like explaining how the BUM works again, after having just gone through it in my February write-up, but I’ll give you the short version here just in case you’re too […]

Warning:  This is NOT a review…not exactly, anyway.  It’s more of a philosophical diatribe.  Proceed at your own risk.I sit in a comfortable booth, in a nondescript Chinese restaurant.  I’m digging through a pile of sticky rice to find the pieces of mushroom, which I set off to the side before chopsticking the rice, chunks […]

I probably won’t be doing a lot of dining out or writing about dining out for the immediate future, as a lot of my time and money will be focused on preparing and executing a change of residence.  Once the dust has settled, expect to see a lot more reviews of Eagle eateries!

This isn’t really a review because it’s not really about an eatery.  It’s more of a public service announcement.  I first became aware of the Boise Urban Market (née Boise Underground Market) some time ago, so long in fact that I don’t remember the specifics.  I’m pretty sure I learned about them through Facebook around the […]

It is with much, MUCH regret that I pass along the following tidbit: the Yen Ching Bakery will close again at the end of February.  I think this may be just about the most depressing thing I’ve had the displeasure of reporting here.  What is this now, the third time they’ve closed?  This time, they […]

– Nothing stops the march of time.  All rational people know this to be true.  The best we can do is to learn and experience as much as we can in the short time we have.  I like to think that not a year passes that I don’t learn a valuable life lesson.  This year’s […]

This is going to be another post without even a sideways review in it, but I just had to share.  This blog gets a pretty decent amount of views, but not a lot of comments.  Last night, there was one waiting back on my first Boise Fry Company review:sourgarlic said… You are a DORK. Stay […]
