“Luxurious lobster-nights, farewell, For sober, studious days!” ~Alexander Pope I love Boston. I first visited in 1994, on my own, to see a Boston Bruins game in old Boston Garden before they tore it down. (Yes, I have already blogged about this a bit…) I also ended up seeing a Celtics game during that trip, too, but my trips to Boston are all about hockey—or more specifically, my Bruins. Oh, and the lobster and clam chowder, too. Luxurious lobster nights, as usual… This trip was a quick one but before we even landed I knew that the best thing I would eat that week would be eaten in Boston. Our…

Eating New York
Traditional, Modern and of course, Pizza “Everybody ought to have a Lower East Side in their life.” ~Irving Berlin When I think of New York, I think of an old city, at least old as far as the United States is concerned: its history, New Amsterdam, the immigrants of the 18th and early 19th centuries, the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty. I also think of a very modern city when I think of New York: fashion, the rich and famous, Broadway shows, Wall Street, Times Square and all its lights, and the city’s magnificent skyline. Maybe some of those things are both traditional and modern, but you probably…

Hey, You Got Peanut Butter in My Burger!
“Man cannot live by bread alone; he must have peanut butter.” ~James A. Garfield President Garfield was at least half right. Man—or woman—cannot live by bread alone; she must have bacon and a burger. But peanut butter with that bacon burger? Before last Friday, my answer would have been no. After last Friday, I’d say I’m open to eating it again. San Antonio Burger Week So, why did I try a burger with peanut butter on it? Well, it was only $5 and it seemed like a great way to kick off the inaugural San Antonio Burger Week. Burger Week? Yep! According to the official website at https://satxburgerweek.com Burger Week…

Tex-Mex vs. Mex-Mex?
Only Winners Here, Mis Amigos “Surround yourself with tacos, not negativity. And yes, even if those tacos are made with corn tortillas.” ~Life Advice Tex-Mex vs. Mexican food? Well, to be honest, I’ll always choose Tex-Mex. Mostly for the following reasons: it’s what I was raised on, I am a Texan/Tejana, and well, I prefer flour tortillas. That is not to say that I don’t enjoy “real” Mexican food. Especially when it’s really delicious. At the end of the day—or the start of the day if it’s breakfast, I just want good food, and if that food is enjoyed with good people, well that is truly a win-win. No matter…

Eating It Up
“There are only three things women need in life: food, water and compliments.” ~Chris Rock While I am not going to conduct a science experiment to test Chris Rock’s theory about all that women need, I won’t argue with the three things he lists. Forever thirsty… Water? Well, duh. We need water to live. What is it that the experts say, we can only go three days without water before we perish? Besides, we also need water to make beer, and wine, and iced tea, and Coca-Cola, and for those crazy water ring games from the 70’s and 80’s that were impossible to win. You are so good looking… Compliments?…
