Wall of shame . . . (3)

Run away! Run away quickly!

Breakfast & Brunch (7)

I'm not a morning person, so my list of morning places grows slowly. Keep checking back - I'm on a mission to find the ultimate brunch. It might just take a while.

Where we go when we're looking for "comfort food" (5)

We've pretty much memorized these menus.
Sometimes we want to get out, adventure and try new places. Other times, we just want something familiar and comforting. These are our all time favorite "not into trying something new" places.

Buried Treasures (14)

I would never have found them if not by accident. I'm glad I found them.

Eating Mexican in Vancouver (8)

I'm always looking for the best Mexican cuisine Vancouver has to offer. Here's some of the places I've tried. You won't find funky tex-mex Lolitas or Carambas here. Some are good, others not so much. But they are a taste of Mexico.
