Fast Food/Bad Food
Posted on July 24, 2006 - Filed Under On the web | Leave a Comment
I am a recovering fast food addict. There. I’ve said it.
There was a time not too long ago when drive-throughs were a God-send for me. I used them. I abused them. And somehow I maintained a decent weight . . . until I was pregnant.
After pregnancy I vowed to leave my fast food habit behind [...]

Review: Mexicali Rose, Newtown
Posted on July 20, 2006 - Filed Under Connecticut, Restaurants, eating out | 6 Comments
Mexicali Rose in Newtown doesn’t look like much from the outside – just another storefront eatery with a clever sign. Located on Route 25 in the Ricci’s Plaza, you can’t let the location fool you though. This isn’t just some hole in the wall.
When you walk in, you are met with a cute assortment of [...]
