Tian Jin is a Chinese restaurant with a noteworthy chef that is good at real Szechuan Mandarin style dishes. Kind of new and at this time little noticed. We just let the owners, Ryan and Chen order for us. Ryan is very proud of the food and thinks we should not eat Chinese anywhere else. (:-D) Very fresh tasting. To cap it off they serve a jasmine whole leaf tea in a beautiful tea pot and cup set - nice touch. Owners are very friendly helpful and concerned about us being happy.

We're frugal people. Raised by parents that went through the Depression, for whom money was tight, where pennies were saved, socks were darned and the Dads' worked 2 jobs - we finish everything on the plate unless it's disgusting - "remember there are starving kids in China". In the 1950's Danny got used to eating SOS for dinner in Chicago and Roxanne's family occasionally ate at the local drug store lunchcounter in East LA for their big night out. Somehow we found each other in San Francisco in the 70's. We have always lived below our means and think of frugality as a virtue. Danny turns the compact florescent lights off when leaving a room, keeps the thermostat low, cuts and burns our trees to fend off the 7 month Minnesota winter, searches for the best deals, and tries to squeeze as much mileage out of every gallon of gas. Roxanne doesn't replace things until they're about to give up the ghost and thinks it's important to be careful about money so we can give more of it to charity and people in need.

Now that we're retired and the kids are on their own living frugal, we've loosened up the purse strings and are traveling and eating out more. We still like to get good value for our money and to eat at places that offer good food for not too much money. Good Frugal Eats. We look for above average reasonably priced comfort food in restaurants we think are the best bet for our time, effort, money and digestion. We try to avoid big chains, but will make exceptions for noteworthy smaller regional or local ones. Ideally we try to eat at places with character and history. The kind of places that help make America the unique and diverse place it is.

These are places we've either been to or will eventually - God Willing and the Creek don't rise. So this website doubles as our black book reference diary. Little known fact about us: Danny consults his magic 8 ball when faced with a tough decision (like where to eat) and for answers to life's persistent questions. Roxanne remembers to bring the ball along.
