Jose Mier’s Little Taste of Germany
One of the foods I love to have occasionally is something we don’t often think of. At least in my neck of the woods. Here is the Sun Valley, CA area, our go-to eateries are usually Mexican, Chinese or Italian. Pizza is always king in America. Yet every so often I do get the urge …. Read More
Crazy About Bacon

Jose Mier coming to you again from my desktop kitchen. One of the most popular cusines in the world of course is Chinese. Count me one of its biggest fans. Of course the term Chinese food is so vast it really doesn’t do it justice since there are so many regional variations to it from …. Read More
