The Beef Stir Fry was on special again at SILK today so we stopped by. It is sooo good! Told our server they should add it to the normal menu, and he agreed. He said everyone is going nuts over it. Just the right sort of summer lunch…light but filling, incredible flavors, texture, the veggies. Of…
Besaw’s
Got to Besaw’s before the 11:30am lunch menu started, so we just did breakfast for lunch. I had the breakfast burritos, my buddy had the “breakfast burger”? Yikes! He said it was great. Check out the fries…they are really quite “light” cooked up in extra virgin olive oil and sprinkled with herbs and garlic. Everything covered…

por que no? (Revisited)

Served with a rather bland peanut sauce…I asked for chili sauce, on the side, to heat things up. Entrée was the lunch special. The server…
Nice
Galette rustic peach tart. Trying to lose pounds, and Wifey makes this. Smells and tastes wonderful!
por que no?
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 &…
