Dinner at "how do you roll?"
Dinner at "how do you roll?"

I really like to make sushi my way and "how do you roll" makes that so easy. If you haven't read my other posts about HDYR (formerly known as Maki) then I'm not making much sense. They're sort of like Subway or Chipotle, just sushi.

Nagoya Steak and Sushi

Nagoya Steak and Sushi is a fairly new restaurant in North Austin that I've passed many times. Lately we've been on a mission to try new restaurants, avoiding old favorites as much as we can. With a name like theirs, you know I didn't go for the steak.

My First Papa Murphy's Pizza
My First Papa Murphy's Pizza

When I first started dating Dan he told me about a place in Portland he used to go to for pizza called Papa Murphy's. I'd never heard the term take-n-bake before and didn't know of any California pizzerias like it.

Once Nino's closed, we started saying that "we should go to Papa Murphy's" but we never did until now.

I can't help it. It's almost a reflex. Darn them (the commercial creators) for doing that to me! Will they live up to the commercial?
