An Appetizing Review

For our asian community at work, I am the editor of a quarterly newsletter that is used to keep the community aware of items going on at work and in the city. One of the new things we are wanting to incorporate are asian restaurant reviews. Asians are tough critics of asian restaurants and word of mouth is the best source of PR. As I read responses to my request - it gave me a list of places I wanted to try. The following review gave me a chuckle...

Here is my review for Casual Wok & Grille.
-Good and authentic Szechuan food
- We loved the intestine in hot plate (it was a pot on fire with intestine and tofu in a yummy red sauce)
- We had to order something not spicy for our 2-year old son, we loved (and our son loved) the salt and pepper tenderloin they recommended
- Our visitor who is an Asian from Los Angeles told me the intestine in hot plate is comparable to the best asian food they have in LA
- Our visitor is quite intrigued with the spicy rabbit and said he will want to try it next time


...Some things are probably better not translated. Who wants to join me in checking out Casual Wok??

Spring is here!

We are excited that it is actually getting nice outside we are able to enjoy the weather and perhaps for the first time since we moved into the house, get our yard looking nice. Today, we went out to buy some Mulch, tree spikes, and topsoil to begin the process. Owen thought it would be fun to help and so we gave him his own shovel and let him have a go at aerating the flower bed...
