Saratoga bites
A few months back I bought a Living Social deal for Javier's in Saratoga. My motivation was to enjoy a night out and sample some of Brian Bowden's food. Well, you know how that worked out.

It’s like apples and squid?
Knowing that my October weekends were pretty tightly jammed, I decided to get the apple-(cider donut)picking out-of-the-way a little early in the season. We have a regular semi-secret spot down in Greene County that we’ve been going to for years, but something told me to call prior to hopping in the car this year. Good … Continue reading It’s like apples and squid?
