I've made them with quinoa, whole wheat, whole spelt, they all work.

booze and cheddar biscuits? you'll almost want to like it afterwards!

Today I had lunch at the Evergreen Chinese Restaurant. I love the location. You feel as though you've stepped into a portal as you head down the stairs and sit in a small basement restaurant that could easily be on the other side of the world. I didn't get a chance to try to bun dim sum but i did have the sticky rice cake filled with shredded pork, turnips, and some strange crunchy (i can only guess it was tempura batter) dough. de-lish-ious

last week we ventured to LBV but only in the lounge. It turns out you can order anything from the menu in the lounge. i have to say i wasn't extremely impressed with the food. But everything was done well. I would say fugaise had a more interesting approach. great cocktails, though!!

Had breakfast at Acadia cafe the other day as well. The hanging menu is terribly indescriptive but i decided to venture towards the "denver". What i got was a breakfast sandwich on english muffin. Plenty of cheese. But to my horror they used canister pepper to flavor the eggs. unfamiliar black flecks all over my poor chicken embryos! And aside from the green peppers there were strange squishy pinkish purplish things sticking out that i had to only assume were red onions cooked to mush. Worst breakfast sandwich EVER!

I never thought such a high-end restaurant could be so accessible but LBV seems to pull it off flawlessly.

wow. my thoughts exactly.

if you're in a daring mood for cooking at home, i have discovered the perfect pancake recipe:

1 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tbs. sugar
---------------------combine dry

1 1/2 c. buttermilk
2 tbs. melted butter
1 egg
---------------------combine wet ingredients

mix together until no big lumps

and fry yourself some flapjacks!!

they're the perfect pancake in my opinion. light, slightly chewy, fluffy...mmmm

and it should stay there!

i had some food there. the cubano was actually decent. i'm originally from chicago and i'm impressed with the selection on their bar menu. some great standards like a real chicago hot dog

check out chai's! probably the best little spot of thai in the cities.
next door to the Cedar Cultural Center on Minneapolis' West Bank
atmosphere is delicious and food is eye-catching...or is it the other way around?
