Tom Sietsema gave this local Peruvian restaurant very positive reviews. So I went to check it out last weekend with a couple of friends. It’s very reminiscent of La Flor de la Canela, which happens to be owned by the same family. And so it would make sense that the menu offerings are similar. I didn’t even realize it when I was ordering that I pretty much got the same thing from Canela as I did two years ago when I went to La Flor. The only difference was the side dish. Instead of yucca fries, it came with lentils.

My take: The food is a bit on the salty side for my tastes but still good. Very similar to La Flor. I didn’t go back to La Flor for 2 years though so I don’t want to get carried away raving about it. Great ambiance though.

Last weekend, I discovered my pair of sneakers went missing. They were pretty new, maybe worn once or twice indoors. I kept them in the basement in the shoe box they came in. Anyway, when I went to get them, I realized the shoe box was empty. Yet one more thing the burglars nabbed. So I went shoe shopping for a replacement and wouldn’t you know it, I now have three new pairs of sneakers. How many pairs of sneakers does a girl need right? *sigh*

I got this recipe from a manager in my office. It’s unbelievably easy and delicious. Who doesn’t like applesauce?

1. Take whatever apples you like (she recommended golden delicious), I used red delicious. It’s great for using up apples that are bruised or uncrunchy.



2. Wash and bake them, then let them cool.



3. Pick out the skin and insides and mash them up.
4. Add some cinnamon (nutmeg, and whatever spices you might like)



You know what to do next.
