reviews

been trying out a lot of new stuff lately, so i thought i'd do one of my wonderful random reviews so you can all know my opinions on all things that matter, in case it really does matter when you go out and choose where to shop, what to eat, what to buy, stuff like that.... here goes...

world market usually has the best furniture, but i went there the other day to look for something for our living room to hold TV type stuff, and they had NOTHING. what's up with the new light, rustic, not pretty dining room tables and stuff they're carrying? lame.

so, off to Ross to look for furniture, and didn't find anything, but DID check out their maternity section, and not much in the way of pants and jeans and stuff, but found two cute shirts. that was worth it.

OH MY GOSH - if you like pumpkin stuff, you must try Jamba Juice's pumpkin smash, a delicious blend of REAL pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Different, but oh so good. Also, now that i know they serve oatmeal with fresh fruit, i think Jamba Juice is going to become my new fave breakfast joint.

Tried Gelayo tonight, the new frozen yogurt and gelato shop on East Ave. in Chico (Safeway shopping center) - SOOOOOO yummy! Slightly better than brain freeze, in my opinion, because not only do they serve frozen yogurt and toppings, self-serve, but they also serve house-made delicious gelato, and you can add toppings, such as fresh fruit, candies, whatever... I got half banana-chocolate / half mocha chip gelato, with fresh raspberries and strawberries. WOAH.

Oh, and have I mentioned that Dr. Park is THE best doctor ever to get when you're having a baby? Yeah, he is great, great, great! He's like a real person, ya know?

Bidwell Perk's continental breakfast consists of a delicious, huge, buttery croissant, brie, and house-made raspberry jam, and a side of fruit. Kinda pricey, but SO yummy. And you MUST try their honey creme latte - it is the most delicious espresso drink in the world!!!

Did you know that Chico library does a FREE music and books time for babies 0-18 months every Wednesday morning at 9am? Yeah, pretty awesome.

Farmer's Market produce is OH SO MUCH BETTER than grocery-store-bought... but you already knew that... i hope...

Ok, i think that's it for now..

Oh, one more thing... I am now going to share my secret to making the most delicious cookies you and all your friends (if they're lucky) will ever eat: Follow the recipe on the chocolate chip bag, but OMIT the SALT completely, and add about 2 cups or so of uncooked OATMEAL. Then bake the cookies for only about 8 minutes... until the bottoms are cooked, but the tops still look raw. I'm telling you, just try it.

K, bye.
