I love it when the NYTimes covers something local

In this case, they write about Burgerville, where I love to get hazelnut milkshakes every February. Mmmmm...

Did you see the Stern's piece about Burgerville in Gourmet a while back? I should eat at b-ville more often, but am too cheap. Walla Walla onion rings though--worth every penny.

Tonight I made apple galettes. It's my favorite dessert recipe of the past year. Eagerly awaiting strawberry season, however...

Ooo! Do post the galettes recipe on your LJ, I'd love it.

Can you believe I've never tried the onion rings? And I'm afraid this won't be the year for it, with the indigestion that comes along with pregnancy and all. I should catch up with those sweet potato fries, though. Sounds good. Like, for breakfast. Hm. Maybe I'm hungry?

Yup, the onion rings are not condusive to a calm stomach. Hang in there 'til next year! I'm going to have to try those sweet potato fries...

Galette recipe is posted. It's the only recipe I've seen on epicurious.com that received both four forks AND 100% would make it again ratings.

A friend and I went to Pix for lunch and had panini and dessert. Oh boy.

Oops! Forgot to say, no, I missed the Gourmet article.

THey're getting a ton of good press.

Oh, I looooove Burgerville. Not only do they have their seasonal specials, but they support local business by using Tillamook cheese and, now, Oregon beef.
