I had this tasty Bahn Min from a Vietnamese restaurant in Davis tonight. I enjoyed the combination of shredded pork, pork skin, cilantro and jalepenos. It tasted awesome after our yoga class. Davis is such a cool college town!

I’m not knocking chains since their entrees are basically the same and you [...]

Mark had the day off for the MLK holiday….I didn’t.
He managed to head downtown to our newsroom and we checked out the dim sum offerings in Chinatown….
DC’s Chinatown is about a half-a-block long. We found spot that had dim sum and service with a smile….this is rare for us. After our last experience with [...]
