One of the few things I miss here is a good Mexican restaurant. Actually, I’d be happy with a bad Mexican restaurant. When we lived in Minneapolis we used to go to a hole-in-the-wall called Little Tijuana. I have no idea if it’s still there. I first went while I was in college so it’s been around a long time.

Neither did the window sill in the kitchen or the trim … Continue reading →

I have eaten lunches consisting of nothing but two apples; and one of nothing but a Double Chocolate Fudge Brownie. I’ll leave you to guess which was better…. I’ve cooked in my sis’s kitchen – She who does not now nor ever has owned a sharp knife. I … Continue reading →
