Did lunch at por que no? Read about the place on Heidi Von Tagen’s blog, Gorgeous Bits. Great little hole-in-the-wall joint, with all sorts of color, song, and attitude. I only wish I could have had a beer or two. Had tacos…three of them. The Pollo Verde (Draper Valley chicken braised in tomatillo salsa &…

Home Cookin’

Berries to come
Morning walk with the kiddies, and am noticing huge clusters of blackberries. More like “greenberries” now, but they will be ripe and delicious come fall. Quite possibly my favorite berry, not so much for the berry itself, but all my fond memories of picking them with family, years ago.
Supplies
Bought some good supplies from Whole Foods and wondering what to make. Got fresh greens and some awesome chicken in the icebox, and now some jerk sauce, chili sauce, and cold summer beer. Posibilities are endless…
