Not starving here
This week he said "apple juice" and "cookies." Just like his mom, he knows what's important in life.
We're finally starting to feel more settled here. I was quite homesick the first couple weeks, not so much for Sacramento, but for those I left behind (not like I died or anything, but you know what I mean). People are nice here, but it's going to take awhile to feel really comfy.
However, a few places recently hit the spot:
Illegal Pete's I work a few blocks down from this burrito shack, which has the best burritos ever... slightly spicy black beans, ripe tomato pico de gallo with tons of cilantro, and fresh guac. The chips are the crispy and slightly burnt variety that I love. Every time I contemplate packing my lunch, I ask myself if it's really worth saving $2 over eating here.
Dozens We felt at home in Denver approximately 5 minutes after eating at Dozens. It was amazing, in a beautiful old craftsman house across the street from Pint's Pub, which serves complimentary, very strong coffee for those waiting for a table at Dozens (they're owned by the same people). At Dozens, I had an omelet stuffed with garlicky mushrooms, spinach, and tomato goodness with a homemade scone and apple jelly. Jerry had a fresh, thick waffle with syrup and butter and I helped him eat it. The french press coffee was strong and tasty. I totally gorged myself and was so happy.
Red Square I can't say we recommend this place, but the story is funny. We went there for Jerry's Birthday, and the ambiance was nice - very cozy, red, and beautiful. I ordered salmon, and it had zero seasoning, not even a dollop of sauce. It tasted completely like fish. And there were no side dishes... it just sat on top of vegetables. I asked the waitress if I could send it back and just get a salad... moments later the owner came to our table, and gave me, "What? You no like the fish?" And I said it was technically OK, it was fresh and all that, it just needed some seasoning. And he follows up with, "Everyone here loves the fish. You are the first person to not like the fish." And somehow I ended up apologizing.
Josephina's We went here for dessert after leaving Red Square and it was so much better... dark, loud, laid-back, unstuffy. The chocolate cake was dry, but we didn't care, because our waitress was nice and we were comfortable. Still in search of the perfect dessert place, but we're just getting started.
