Deliciousness

It's no secret that I am a serious lover of food. It's just the way it is. I've decided to make a top ten list of my current favorites---just in case you'd like to try something new. These are in no particular order, because we all know that favorites change depending on mood.
1. Pat's BBQ---There is simply no better barbecue in town. I usually don't think ribs are worth the effort----these ones are. They have live blues music on Friday and Saturday nights at 7pm.
2. The Red Iguana---It's all delicious, but I love the chicken enchiladas so much that I don't bother with anything else.
3. Smart Cookie Company---don't bother with anything but the frosted sugar cookie, but make sure to buy at least a dozen of them.
4. Gepetto's---I've been going to this place since high school. It's very nostalgic for me. Order a pizza with red sauce and your favorite toppings, and then order a side of their homemade cucumber dressing to dip your crust in (the dressing is a very important part of the experience, so don't forget it). Gepetto's often has someone playing a guitar and singing folksy songs.
5. Big City Soup---my favorite is Tomato Gorgonzola. Yum.
6. Cafe Trio---The appetizer is my favorite part. Make sure to order the Rosemary Flat Bread with goat cheese, roasted peppers, carmalized onions, and tomatoes. I think about it all the time. You won't believe how good it is.
7. The Village Baker---I like the chicken salad sandwich on a sour dough roll. Make sure they don't put mayo and mustard on the roll (the sauce in the chicken salad is plenty). I like to bring home a loaf of their sourdough bread for dinner (they make the real stuff) and no one can get out of there without a brownie or special k bar.
8. I am a big fan of Thai food, not everyone is. I don't have a favorite Thai restaurant, but I like Thai Delight for fresh spring rolls and a soup that I can't pronounce---I think it is number 10 or 11 on the menu, Simply Thai for Beef Massaman, Bangkok Thai for Green Curry, and Thaifoon for lettuce wraps.
9. Cafe Rio---We all know about it, and it is delicious. Have you tried their chips and queso?
10. Teppanyaki---This is my favorite place to eat shrimp. I'm not a huge fan of having it flung into my mouth---but you can bet I'm going to catch it. I would never allow such deliciousness to fall to the floor.

A Not-So-Candid Moment

You know how kids do cute stuff and you wish you could catch it on camera---without them knowing? Marcus and I gave up. We'll never capture this moment candidly---even though it occurs throughout the entire day, every day. So, we gave our cute Ginger girl a microphone and told her to sing like the princess she is.
