Just a quick note on this salsa, IT IS TO DIE FOR!!! :) I am in salsa heaven. The roasted hatch chili brings me back to my childhood in New Mexico.
I saw the roaster outside of Whole Foods as we entered last week. We purchased the salsa and ate it as soon as we were home paired with corn chips. I eagerly returned yesterday for another helping. Last night we used the salsa to top our tacos. Tonight I just made an omelet for dinner with the salsa.
It will be hard to top this salsa.

Pho Duey
A few days late, but better now that never. The truth is I forgot about this blog. :)
Monday was rainy and lower temps and I think I was fighting the start of a cold. Whenever the weather is this way, or I feel not 100% I always want to go to Pho Duey.
For our appetizer, we had the pork roll. I like it best with peanut sauce, which was forgotten so I had it with their fish sauce. Pretty good.
I ordered a small Vietnamese Pho with raw steak and brisket. I usually just get the rare steak. I didn't spice it up as much as usual, but I was really loving the hoisen sauce.
And we can't go to Pho Duey without our Cappicino Boba. I didn't have very much, but Brian really enjoyed it.
Being there reminded me of being in Vietnam. Not the food, since the northern food we eat is very different, but just the peace I feel when I am there. I truly enjoyed listening the waitstaff have a heated discussion in Vietnamese. I only wish I knew what they were saying.
Vietnam has not been on my mind a lot lately, and being there reminded me and it felt very familiar. We are going back in November, can't wait!

You have to start somewhere
So I've been talking about a food blog for some time. Since I met Brian my eyes have been opened up to the wonderful world of food. We've had many food adventures, from Rome to Vietnam, San Francisco to Chicago and even locally in Boulder and Denver. My only regret is that I hadn't started this sooner! So many memories!
So here we go. My thoughts on food will be shared. From eating out, to the joys of cooking (or not), and also the functionality of food and the frustration with the breaking down of the food supply. I could talk about these things for a long time!
