Magners Irish Pear Cider

Magners Irish Pear Cider

Light, crisp, and refreshing… though, it is a bit sweet. It’s not too sweet. Plenty of bubbles keep this super light and bright. The flavor of fresh, slightly tart pear is lovely. This was really quite nice.

We’ll definitely be drinking this […]

Pecan Pie M&Ms

Pecan Pie M&Ms

Very interesting… We mildly enjoy the touch of burnt caramel flavor.

We’ll confess to the occasional movie theater purchase of peanut M&M’s. But, we almost never buy plain M&M’s. As a matter of fact, we can’t remember the last time that we’ve eaten […]

El Don

El Don’s Guacamole

Chunky pieces of avocado, cilantro, a little citrus, and a touch of onion, all blend beautifully. But, it’s all about the avocado as it should be. We both loved this.

We both preferred the roasted salsa.

Hash Brown — SweetWater Brewing

Hash Brown India Style Brown Ale SweetWater Brewing Company

Incredibly good… incredibly drinkable…

It’s a little bit malty. The roasty malt is smooth and creamy with a whisper of bitter chocolate. There’s an air of barely there sweetness. But, that’s balanced with just the right dose […]

Sticky Toffee Pudding Ale — Well’s

Wells Sticky Toffee Pudding Ale

At first scent, it’s overpoweringly sweet. But, then… it’s a whole lot of “eh”.

This is not a favorite.

Still, we must say that we’re more than a little bit eager to make a batch of gingerbread with one […]

Co’m Vietnamese

Fusion Pad Thai With Lamb & Shrimp

So many herbs and sprouts cover this dish…

…and tender shrimp

…and slivered brussel sprouts

Green Mango, Papaya, & Apple Salad (Topped with Grilled Lamb)

The Greater Good Barbecue — Again

The Greater Good Barbecue Ribs

On this early dinner visit, Greater Good’s barbecued ribs were gorgeously tender, seriously meaty, and delicious.

So, we’d say that’s back to normal for Greater Good.

That’s a lot of ribs for half a rack. We […]

The Greater Good Barbecue

The Greater Good Barbecue Chicken & Ribs

This visit was a bit unfortunate. We arrived a bit between meal services. And, the chicken and ribs seemed to suffer a bit from this fact. They were room temperature and a little bit more than a touch […]

Cuban Sandwich

Cuban Sandwich

If you make a Cuban sandwich, you should have Cuban bread. But, this is Subway’s Cuban sandwich. So, we probably shouldn’t expect too much.

They do have an Italian roll. And, we’d say that it has a better texture than most […]

The Crafty Hog

The Crafty Hog

Ribs are a must.

Tender, moist and smoky, these were quite good.

SweetWater Brewing Hash Brown India Style Brown Ale sits in front. The darker Avery Ellie’s Brown Ale hides in back. They met our […]
