Return of the Spicy Tunas

Perhaps against my better judgement, I’ll be going back to Bushido next Friday (May 7) to attempt to finish off the Spicy Tuna challenge.

Won’t be doing it alone though. There will be a few local Twitter-folk looking to complete the challenge as well, so I’ll be in good company.

Smoked pork goodness

Albuquerque Eats: Pueblo Harvest Cafe

In Albuquerque, NM until the end of the week for an MCNP training course, so I’ve been taking advantage of exploring New Mexico cuisine.

Today it was a stop at the Pueblo Harvest Cafe at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center.

Nambe Rellenos, two giant poblano chiles stuffed with chicken and cheese and covered in blue cornmeal.

Now why can’t I get rellenos like that in Charleston?
