I may not be keeping up with the news while traveling, but one subscription I was sure to keep was the Chicago Magazine’s weekly “Dish” newsletter. I may not need an email digest about shootings in West Virginia and bombings in Iraq, but don’t think I’m going to ignore the Chicago food scene.
Anyhow, the [...]

eating our way through asia
So as you may be able to imagine (or tell from our photos), one of the things rIAm and I are focused on during our travels is food. And perhaps we’ve talked about food a bit on this site; we’ve definitely shown photos and made commentary on flickr. But when we had a question come [...]
flaming wok
That was one hot wok! This is why stir fries and other dishes made in a wok just aren’t as good when made at home in North America – they just can’t get hot enough! The BTUs of the gas stoves are too low, unless you get one special. But here, no problem! We [...]

Not that it’s a contest or anything, but the epod user in Seattle has two posts that inspired this one: here’s what we had for dinner tonight. Super tasty and delicious! (click the photo to get a description of the meal)
Queso Fundido con Rajas y Maiz
Our friend Armando first exposed us to queso fundido at Nuevo Leon. With rIAm’s family, we had more at Mi Tierra. rIAm went gaga over the version at La Taqueria Superrica. It was still good at El Jardin. So when I came home with some poblanos and the idea we could make our own version, [...]
