Club 33

Last night, hubby and I celebrated our good friend, Kristy's birthday at Club 33. Kristy had been to Club 33 last year for lunch but this was her hubby Charlie's first visit and her first dinner experience. In my opinion, to truly experience Club 33, a person must go for lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch. It is always fun to take someone who hasn't been before as its fun to watch the excitement in their eyes as they enter the exclusive club at Disneyland.

I was kind of concerned about what I was going to eat at Club 33 as it is a French Bistro meaning a ton of creamy sauces and butter which isn't a good thing for a diabetic but once again, Club 33 amazed me. The chef made me a special meal without butter. Guess what that included? A Chateaubriand steak, rice and broccoli. While I could certainly taste the lack of butter in my meal, it was still very delicious! At least I am eating healthier on this diabetic diet. It was the first steak I had during my pregnancy and boy was it ever good!!! Steak and meat repulsed me early on in my pregnancy so I have just stayed away from it ever since. I may have to go back and revisit the steak section of my local grocer!!

We had a great time with the Forsgren's. They are always fun to hang out with!

Buffalo Wild Wings

When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

The Lost Art of Letter Writing

This week I was the recepient of two postcards. In the age of e-mailing and blogging this is a rare occurrrance. It's not that people don't write anymore it's just they are doing it in different forms and I think in less personal forms. It's kinda sad when you think about it. For me, there is nothing better then getting a hand written letter in the mail because it means someone was specifically thinking about you. Writing a letter these days takes a lot of effort when GMail is so near. I mean a person has to pick out stationary (if they even have any on hand), find time to sit down and compose a letter (and who has a spare half hour these days?), find or buy a stamp and actually walk the letter to the mailbox. With all this effort, no wonder people email these days! My girlfriend Becky and I joke that the United States Postal Service has become "Snail Mail." Most times before a letter gets to us these days we already know the information inside ...
