imma PITA about food

black bean tamale sounds tasty. I like black beans a lot.

I make a super tasty vegan green chile/corn tamale.

man....ive been wanting to try the asian tacos from Sunshine & Spice for weeks now. liz just surprised me with some at work and they kind of suck. i make better stuff than this, by a long shot.

Ate:

Baja Fresh beans and rice plate

It's not on the menu, but they will sell it to you for $1.83

Cheap. Filling. Borderline healthy.

ate at asi es la vida last night. that place was awesome. no mexi beer but they had freeze watermelon, pineapple, and cantaloupe juice. the food was excellent. it was a bit pricey but you get a pretty good size plate. my gf and i got an appetizer, shared an entree, got two drinks, and a dessert for like $42.

i've got probably the least discriminating palate around so i'm a horrible food critic. but what i dug about this place is that it wasn't your typical menu full of chimichangas and nachos. i don't know if they're featuring food from a different region of mexico than most other places (and i know most of that is all americanized anyway) but they had entrees i'd never seen on a mexican food restaurant's menu before and that was cool to me. of course i liked everything i ate there. which is typical for me. but what i liked most is that they had things i hadn't tried before and might have thought i wouldn't like before trying it. so yeah.. i'll be going back.

plus it's very unassuming. every time i'd drive by it i thought it looked like some glorified "'bertos" place. definitely not. oh, and you can bring your own beer and wine to drink since they don't serve. i believe they said there was a corking service fee, however.

calabacitas for lunch today! mmmmmmm

Did some hardcore holiday baking last night for our big family get together. On the menu were pizzelles, farfellette, strufoli, and bitterweet chocolate and ricotta biscotti. In other words, a shitload of Italian cookies.

Someone at work brought homemade fudge and caramels, I ate one of both and now I feel sick, sugar overload. But it hurts so good. Butter. Real Butter

[mancopter]

Oh man. My mom used to make strufoli. Sticky as hell but so yum.

[Ninjaneer]

Yeah I'd forgotten how much honey is involved in making them. Still worth it though.

ate at the grind last night. best burger in phoenix. or at least it has to be involved in the discussion. anyone who disagrees is worse than hitler.
