Saturday November 28 was Small Business Saturday. It is the state of New Mexico’s way of helping promote small businesses throughout the state. It was a tax free day. This was an outgrowth of Black Friday. I thought about all the small businesses, especially restaurants, who are hurting at this time. Since we were still … Continue reading Buy Local

I found them!!! It has been several months since I have visited my favorite pizza place in Santa Fe. Bruno’s Pizza was doing lunch at Meow Wolf before the pandemic began.

Eurozone imports food from Europe but it devotes a lot of shelf space to Polish food. Devon, the owner, … Continue reading Eurozone, Albuquerque
We attended the Virtual Prickly Pear Festival that was held in Albuquerque on Saturday, September 12. I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it.

I love Steel Bender’s Brewyard. I think it is very hard to make good food and great beer. But Steel Bender’s does it. I love their Impossible Burger (14) which comes with lettuce, tomato, red onion, and a nice and soft bun. What makes this even better is that this entree comes with a side … Continue reading Steel Bender’s Brewyard Rancho de Albuquerque
