We’ve been trying to explore our hometown a little every weekend. Food-wise mainly. Just about every weekend, is a new find and I’m actually getting more and more impressed with the food around here. This surprising find is located in …

Nando’s Peri Peri

Leaf — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 00:36:25 +0000

Good, but eh. I mean, it’s grilled chicken. Consistent, recognizable, done well. If it were down the street from me, maybe, but it’s certainly not worth going out of our way for it like we did last night. We got …

E.L.F. Eyeshadows

Leaf — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 01:55:33 +0000

It’s been two weeks since I got my E.L.F. eye shadow and I’ve tried it enough times to share a bit about what’s good and bad about it. I got the 32-color palette for a peasely $5. I’m comparing it …

Thai X-ing

Two words: Yum and Yum. This place is what we’d imagine food in Thailand would taste like. This little gem of a restaurant is barely noticeable on the street. We got out of the taxi and wandered back and forth …

Saigon Cafe

Eh. It was okay but overall, not someplace we’ll probably be going back to anytime soon. I read about this place and how they were known for making an authentic bun bo hue (this thick rice noodle beef soup). SO …

Mad Men

Leaf — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 04:21:15 +0000

Augh! Can’t pull my eyeballs away from the TV. I am badly hooked on Mad Men. The understated way the story seems to play out, the over-the-top Jerry Springer-esque scandals, it’s so addictive. And now I know why leopard print …

Move over Mamoun

Leaf — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 01:09:38 +0000

Two years ago, we ate our way through a weekend in New York City. One of the most memorable places we ate at was Mamoun’s Falafel. I would not shut up about it. Mamoun’s this, Mamoun’s that. You’d think he …

E.L.F.

Leaf — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 03:40:30 +0000

The stuff’s all made in China!! No wonder it’s all so cheap! I mean, $5 for a palette of 32 eyeshadows? It’s almost seemingly too good to be true. And indeed it is because it’s from China! I’m envisioning a …

Gaming

When the weather outside is frightful, we like to stay in and play games. The latest one we bought this week was San Juan. We played it a little in Taiwan and because this one can be a two to …

X.O. Taste

Leaf — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 14:17:47 +0000

We went there, 13 of us, for Xmas eve dinner. Although in the end we had enough food, I was kind of disappointed in them. Their dishes were way small, a platter of shrimp had fewer than 13 shrimp. I …
