i love food. i mean, i really truly am madly in love with food. that's why i married a cook!

this blog was originally started to write about food. i have expanded to all kinds of things available alongside food, like shampoo, conditioner, dishwasher powder, and laundry detergent. i hope i can enlighten your curiosity.

don jose

a friend of my mom and russell said don jose was their favorite mexican restaurant.  so, the other night, we decided to go there instead of driving all the way to tinga.  i had been there once before and was not impressed, but i thought perhaps it was worth a second try.

i was definitely underwhelmed.

everything was just... alright.  except the refried beans.  they were really tasty.  everything else just kind of fell flat.  my beef enchiladas were good, but lacking in flavor besides salt and cheese.  i expected the red sauce to taste like more.  eric got one of the platters, a chicken tamale, a chili relleno, and a cheese enchilada.  he liked the cheese enchilada the best out of the 3.  i tried a bite of the chicken tamale, it was better than my beef enchiladas.

in the end, we were full, but not satisfied.  next time, we will just make the trip to tinga.
