We got this note from Tangletown's finest Mexican restaurant, Bandolero (2253 N 56th St): Throughout the past year, we've managed to collect lots of shwag from various beer and liquor companies and have neglected to hand it out to our fine patrons.

Sure we have, and we wrote about it back in June, but somehow that post flew under the radar, so I'm here to make amends. Early Friday evening, my husband, daughter and I walked up to Shima and grabbed a table next to the sushi bar. It wasn't particularly busy, but it wasn't empty…
Well we knew, based on the fresh new coat of blue paint, that something new would be taking over the old Selena's Guadalajara place; but reader Joan let us know this morning that she spotted a sign in the window that said "La Casa Azul" is opening soon. La Casa Azul already has locations in Greenwood and Shoreline, and they serve breakfast on Saturdays and Sundays, from 8am to 1pm. Click here to check out their website. La Casa Azul's Wallingford…
Tuscany has long had a special place in our heart. When we left our 10 year gig at large Redmond-based software concern 4 years ago, we rented our house, packed a few changes of clothes in our backpacks and took off for Europe for a few months. We meandered our way down through France, into northern Spain, bopped over to Berlin, but spent the bulk of time in central Italy. It was exactly what we needed: slow food, slow cities, timeless…
