I too enjoy this blog and am in agreement with SolShine 7. I love to see so many aspects of God’s Creation discussed, the wide range of subjects,experiences, thoughts and things, the Christian context. Thank you Pastor.

I loved the pastry and coffee drinks at Mike’s Pastry in Boston, which I visited in July. Near Paul Revere’s house and the Old North Church.
When I drive up to Albuquerque I eat at the Frontier Cafe. Open 24 hours a day. Everything is good, American and New Mexican food. Southwestern art covers the walls.
When I lived in Orange County there was a great restaurant near Disneyland (where I once was a portrait artist). The restaurant served huge portions of delicious food. The restaurant is in a pink building, I think on Chapman avenue, and is called Bellisles.
Here in Belen, NM, the place to eat is Pete’s Cafe. In a beautiful, cool adobe building across from the Harvey House, and near Judy Chicago’s art studio. The food is classic New Mexico. The state question is “Red or green chile?”. The Sopapillas with honey are wonderful.
In Conwy, Wales, the fish and chips and welsh cakes, at several places in town, are particularly satisfying.

Cool post. I really like talking about food. This is exactly why your blog is my current favorite. So here’s my short list:

When in Boston…I have to get a slice of pumpkin cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory, grab a slice of cheesy pizza from Cappy’s, a homemade cannoli from Mike’s Pastry and a mouth-watering blueberry scone from Diane’s Bakery.

When in California…the “egg rolls” from this Asian place at the Grove in Hollywood are a must-have. Then a salad or something from Sizzlers. And Mexican food, lots of it!

When in Michigan…I just gotta have a dreamy Oreo blast from Caribou Coffee.

The original Chino Bandido is on 19th and Greenway, but they just opened one in Chandler, which would probably be closer to you.

Great post. I am in Memphis visiting my mom. When in Memphis, you have to go to the Germantown Commissary for the best BBQ ever!

Where is Chino Bandito’s? I haven’t been there yet, but have heard from a number of people it is wonderful!
