After our meal at por que no? today, we walked down Mississippi Street, people watched, and thought of how we so desperately want to get out of our suburban dreadfullness and become more urban, more hip. How much we want to move into a cool, happening neighborhood and live in that 1906 charming bungalow with hardwoods and a big…

por que no? (Revisited)
Brought my Sweetie to Por Que No?, on Mississippi. She saw the pics, from the other day, and said she had to go. We both had the delicious fish tacos, and vowed to make our own version of them soon, at home. I also had a carne asada taco, which was great. Super crowd pleasing…

Pandora’s
If you are ever in Twin Falls, must check out a place called Pandora’s (Named after the proprietor). Very cool, old, industrial building. Loved it. For appetizers, we shared plates of edamame, shrimp cocktails, and “jalapeño bottle caps.” Enjoyed a nice hefeivizen from Sierra Nevada. Finished with a penne pasta that had fresh seasonal vegetables,…
