Northern Food Aventures

So I just got back from an adventure with my two work friends, Dianne and Danielle. First we went to the best bakery in town (it's jewish and called "Gunn's") where I picked up pizza bagels, a poppy seed roll, almond and cheese danishes, and my favorite, the rootin tootin, which is an almond dough rolled up around raisins and dried cranberries. I didn't buy any of the savory stuff, which include a variety of knishes, cabbage rolls, and the ubiquitous perogies.

If that wasn't enough, we then went to lunch at Pampanga, a Filipino buffet. There I had stuffed squid, a beef soup with vinegar, amazing barbequed pork skewers, fried fishes, pork belly and all kinds of other strange stuff. Not everything was delicious to my western palate, but it was all fresh and fascinating. And all-you-can-eat for $7.99 a person.

Too bad I didn't have my camera with me.

How long do you get for lunch? MOM

well, we had to go by an auto repair shop to see if our signs were still up. We have a court order telling this guy to take our signs down, because he's no longer accredited to do our repairs for us. So we were technically on business for a portion of the trip. I think we were out an hour and a half, and I get an hour for lunch.

Mom ....It's good to know you are on company business. Special investigation no less!
