food blog?

my brother in law, justin, recently told me that he doesn't like to look at my blog anymore because all i post about is food. well it's a good thing he stopped looking at it because once again i'm going to talk about food. i sort of live for good food.

 gordon wanted to try something new...shrimp stuffed with cheese, wrapped in bacon, and deep fried.  that's new.  and heart healthy.

this weekend we did not go on a double date with my sister (or did we? he paid for her...but she insists we all hung out as friends...) to a new mexican restaurant, ventanas, sort of in the ghetto of our town. we were a little nervous at first to go there because of the sketchiness of the neighborhood, but gordon made a good point that if we want areas like this to pull out of the slums we've got to support them. they said their food was authentic mexican food. when mexican restaurants say this i always have to try them. and i compare every last bite to my grandma j's food. which is real authentic mexican food. this restaurant passed the test. their beans and rice tasted just like my grandma j's. and the chicken enchiladas i got...heaven. they had a salsa bar with four different kinds of salsa. we tried all four and loved them all. we dipped their homemade tortilla chips in each one.

we'll be going back. that's for sure.
