You say Tor-tilla, I say Tortilla. . . .

So aside from recipes from here in God's Country, I also want to shed a little light on a subject that is my favorite other than vacation itself; food.  Did I mention that my vacations usually center around my favorite local eateries? 

Tonight we grabbed a little Baja del Sol.  You would think that you would have to find a tiny whole in the wall mom and pop joint to find some of the freshest Tex Mex/Mexican in the city but no way Jose.  Although I will give props to The Pearl in Minneapolis for having an awesome atmosphere as well as authentic Mexican dishes.  Back to Baja;  aside from the fact that the Baja in St. Louis Park has some of the friendliest staff around, they are fast, fresh, and make their tortillas right there.  In fact, they have some of the best I have ever had.  Not to mention their fresh made salsas are muy bueno.  One of our favorites is the Grilled Chicken Fajitas, but make sure to order extra chicken as they give you a huge portion of grilled veggies.  If you find yourself in Minneapolis, which at some point in your lifetime, you do.  Later we're going to check out my fav that I insist on going to every time we come to town: Chino Latino on Hennepin and Lake Street in Minneapolis.  More on THAT later...

Changes in Latitudes. . .

So in light of recent changes, blogging for the summer will be coming directly from northern Minnesota.  Although it brings us closer to family, it also brings the state bird of Minnesota;  the Mosquito.  I am not sure at this point if it is a fair trade.  I cannot wait to taste what home has to offer us this year.  Fresh rhubarb, the State Fair, my mother in laws summer nachos, delectable desserts, and pasta salads.  I'll post recipes and directions on the blog for the summer without video (thank goodness, watching those back I'm not too sure if it was such a good idea, lol).  I probably will not have an updated Prep Work Weekly Playlist but even better is that you can log on to Cities 97.com and check out their Acoustic Sunrise and Sunset and again the website for air times as well.  Talk to everyone soon and I will be sure to post some fun summer recipes and dishes in just a few. . .
