with a burger...it’s nuggets all the way...just too much energy to expend trying to get them to go off the "pretty picture screen." Wendy’s ain’t bad, but is a little on the greasy and bland side. At least they...

I could find a local source for homemade tofu. I dont' think I have the time or energy to make my own (though, I suppose I could try and see how hard it really is...), so I shall stick with the boxed stuff for awhile. Thank you so...

I like 2nd Street! OK maybe just for burgers and salads but they get the fact that this is a neighborhood driven by kids. I did hear from a friend who will never go back because it cost her $52 for breakfast for 4. I am not...

daughter ate both of her mini burgers which impressed me because she’s such a picky eater, plus she liked their fries. Hubby ate his whole burger and onion rings, but didn’t give me enough feedback on how they tasted....

Also in the snack food vein: Rosencrunch and Guildenpop (really excellent glazed popcorn-nut clusters with lots of nuts). My roommate is raising her son on the frozen spinach lasagne, serving is at least once a week since he was...

time. Cooking does take time, but it is a vital ritual of living, and I hope you put good energy into every dish you cook!

was invaluable. I now know to stop recommending it to people (thanks!), and those reading along won’t waste time and energy flocking to Hitching Post...and that’s really important! In any case, my intuition is that the...

as well be in a strip mall. The chef is extremely creative, but so is the chef at Binkley’s and the restaurant has more energy.

on the surface, especially when nothing is open or you’re too tired to drive too far afield. Eating out for 42 straight days takes has been work, it takes, time, energy and imagination to keep it fresh, and I don’t...

interesting varieties and i recently had a diet blackcurrant. We get pineapple crush and birch beer in my area too, but no diet varieties :( i am also a fervent guzzler of all energy drinks, in moderation, particularly the sugar...
