Salmon Sashimi with Shishito Pepper Sauce | In Sketch We Trust

I was 22 the first time I had sushi. I don’t remember it being so glorious because it was likely an overcooked tempura shrimp concoction with krab. Probably smothered in sweet sauce. And topped with brown avocado. To be fair, it was only $8.99 for all-you-can-eat, and that’s a steal! Fast-forward a few years. I [...]

About 2 minutes into my search, I [...]

Beef Pho | Therapy for the Overindulged Holiday Feaster

It’s another cold drizzly day at the RGB. That’s code-word for soup. Today’s winner: I’ve been craving pho  all week (this always happens when I overindulge on American dairy and sweets), so we raided the local 99 Ranch Market yesterday to make a pot full. While I’m waiting for my mom to give me her [...]
