The Good, The Bad, And, The Ugly @ Star Provisions

The Good:  Two incredible po’boy sandwiches with shrimp…  Each sandwich was jam-packed with freshly fried shrimp, juicy-sweet & thinly sliced tomatoes, and brushed with a mildly spicy remoulade.

Is this donut wet?

Umm… no that’s oil.  It’s saturated with oil! UGH

and the cutting board is coated in oil now…

The Bad:  After nearly a dozen of near-perfect donuts( sampling one or [...]

2006 Jackson-Triggs Vidal Icewine Proprietor's Reserve

The Good:  From taste to price, I have a ton of praise for this surprising little wine.  I snatched the bottle off the shelf of a local Whole Foods last year.  And, instantly forgot about it.  My expectations were low given the insanely low price.  I’ve never seen an icewine at this price (purchase price [...]
